If you're looking for a sturdy, affordable shoe solution in your closet this may be the solution for you! Here is the video on Instagram if you want to see it in person.
We just used Billy Bookcases which are great because they have the holes
all the way down both sides of the case
AND you can buy additional shelves so you can make them whatever height to fit your shoes.
They have multiple sizes so you could even find one that fits in a small closet. We also added a basket for beltbags, gloves, belts, etc.
I wear size 8-8.5 women's shoes and mine came right up to the edge
My husband wears 10.5-11 so his came over the edge a little but it was a great solution for us!
The back of the Billy Bookcases also have a lip for traditional size baseboards - ours were a little taller so that feature didn't work for us but it might for you!
Here are the links to the IKEA bookcases we used ( I wish they were affiliate links but IKEA doesn't do that so we don't have to worry about it here 😊)
Good luck! I hope this helps with your closet shoe storage!
Hello and Happy New Year! January always puts me in the mood to purge and organize after Christmas is down and it's cold and dreary outside. This week we began tackling our closet.
I was worried about the quality for under $20 but it ended up being the perfect solution! It is just like light metal pipes that you put together with these plastic-like cloth shelves but shoes aren't usually too heavy so unless you've got some crazy big boots this should work for you.
I just love that it holds ALL of our shoes together and we can see them. I do have summer sandals in a bin that I switch out for the winter boots and I see some right now that I can get probably get rid of but it was so fun putting them all on here when it was all put together. I just wanted to share it in case you are looking for something similar that won't break the bank. They also have different sizes if you don't want one so tall.
Happy Organizing!!
I *love* little projects like these -- not a lot of money, quick satisfaction, only about an hour of time. And then you want to organize everything else in the house!
Our poor hall closet needed some help -- we’ve been shoving odds and ends and I-don’t-know-what-to-do-with-it-things in it since we moved in. Cords, flashlights, phone boxes, tape, pillowcases, file folders, you name it, it was in there.
I think uniform containers can make anything look organized. Cue these bins from the dollar tree! $1 in square or rectangle, perfect for corraling and hiding all of this.
I emptied everything out, divided it up, threw out a bunch, and made some labels out of white cardstock and clear packing tape.
A huge difference! Sometimes I open the door just to look at it when I walk by :)
Happy Organizing!
I told you yesterday that I had more bins to use, closets to conquer, under-sink darkness to overcome. Here is the other upstairs bathroom, under the sink. The previous owners already had the little shelves on the side installed, so that helped a lot. I love the plastic shoe bins from the dollar store, but when 3 or 4 are stacked on top of one another, it gets a bit ridiculous. The open bins were the perfect solution, the yellow ones are from the dollar tree.
I was sick and tired of rifling through bins trying to find the tissue paper for the gift bag, a card, and some darn scissors. I had pinned some ideas of wrapping stations on the back of doors, so I couldn’t stand it one more minute one Saturday morning so I stopped everything, and went to work in my little craft corner of my husband’s office downstairs. “Mom, can we have jolly ranchers and rice for lunch?” Sure. “Mom, can you forget about me playing wii all morning?” you bet. Can I make a craft out of glue, powedered sugar, grass, and legos? go for it.
They love it when I’m in the nothins gonna stop me zone.
Here’s my version:

Okay folks, this makeover isn’t about pretty, it’s about function. You saw what our tiny master closet looked like:
