Our shoe situation here only seems to grow and become more chaotic, so we needed a new solution to the clutter. We get out of the house so much faster when everyone knows where to find their shoes. Ian loves shaking the shoe rack until most of the shoes are in a pile on the floor. Normally it looks something like this:
I found this ladder on a for sale group recently, and got the baskets from Hobby Lobby:
And wired the baskets to the steps, resulting in this:
To the moms out there: the ladder is anchored to the wall with screws, just in case curious little boys would attempt to climb it.
So much better! Guests now have room to walk in and kick their shoes off. And I trip a lot less...for anyone who knows me personally, me not tripping is a huge deal!
This board came from a bed frame (the kind with dresser drawers built in) that fell apart on us. I salvage things with no apparent purpose sometimes, but eventually things find their place! I sanded it, wiped a little cream paint on, and added the Welcome to make a sign.
A couple years ago I was given a set of four dining chairs from an aunt's garage...she also had projects in mind! While two of them we gave away to someone who was in desperate need of chairs, I had two left to repurpose. Thanks to her, I now have a lovely display on the front porch!
Love these!!
