This new line of cubbies is great for shoes, toys and more! Kids are notorious for leaving their shoes all over the house , believe me, I know this! One way to get kids to organize, tidy up and generally keep better care of things is to use very colorful and easy to use storage containers! This new line of storage bins and cubbies, like the 6 Bin Storage Cabinet by Sourcing Solutions are just the thing you need to get started. These cubbies fit into both categories. First, they are colorful - this means that they will attract the eyes of even the tiniest tots. Another great thing about this is that if you have more than one child in the home, you can assign colors to each of them, so that everyone knows where his or her shoes go when he or she gets home! Another way to use this particular bin system is to have kids put things like backpacks and jackets in the top bin, shoes in the bottom bin. This will solve many problems with getting ready in the morning on time. The second most important thing about these storage bins is that they are very easy to use. Even little kids can pull the colorful bins in and out without much help.
Do you love shoes AND gardening? I do!! Did you know that a certain kind of shoe rack makes a great hanging herb garden? Read on to find out how you can do this, how I did it, and some great tips to get the best results!
Believe it or not, an over the door shoe rack, such as this Over the Door Shoe Organizer by Richards, can help to make you a great hanging herb garden! I first saw this in sunset magazine in an article about a restaurant. Theirs wasn’t exactly a shoe rack, but it was the same concept with pockets just like these and herbs growing out of each pocket. The benefit of this in a restaurant is, of course, fresh and free herbs right at your fingertips anytime you need them. I wanted to do these benefits at home as well, plus some more (see below), so I decided to give this upright herb garden a shot.
First I found an older shoe rack that I wasn’t using anymore. It has to be the type with pockets, not wire racks, and you have to be able to attach it to the wall somehow. This means you should take off the over the door hooks (if you want) and then use nails, screws or staples to adhere it to the wall. If it is going inside your kitchen, like mine did, you might need to cut it down to size. For example, I don’t have room for all of the pockets, I made mine by cutting the shoe organizer down to just six pockets, which fits perfectly right next to my sink. Which brings me to my next point, drainage. You want good drainage with these, so drill holes if you have to or use a mesh organizer to begin with. The water also needs somewhere to drain - I was lucky enough to have a window over my sink with plenty of natural light, so this is really the perfect place for my herb garden - the water simply drains into the sink after watering!
Hope you like this idea! Bon Apetit!
An organizer and a beautiful piece of furniture all in one! The Chelmsford Shoe Bench is a wonderful addition to your home, giving everything you want in the way of storage and style. A shoe bench has many benefits to it, and there are just so many to choose from. One of the things I love about a shoe bench, as opposed to just a shoe rack, is that it provides shoe storage, but in a very stylish way that makes it okay to have out in the open. For example, this shoe rack bench has 12 cubbies underneath and is in a beautiful dark wood. So even though you are storing shoes in it, it is appropriate for use in the entryway or hall or other places that a visitor might see. Another great thing about the shoe bench is that it is, a bench, in addition to a shoe rack – this is wonderful because it gives you a perfectly comfortable place to sit while you put your shoes on, or take them off! Here are some things to keep in mind when you are looking for the right shoe bench or rack for your home.
- Number one is capacity. You need to know first, are you going to put every shoe that you own on this rack or just seasonal items, or if you have a large family, how many pairs of shoes is each person allowed to keep by the door on this rack? If you live alone, you can easily get away with just a few cubbies. If you have the whole family using the rack, then you should pick the largest amount of cubbies and then divide that number by the amount of people in the home and that’s how many pairs each person can store in that particular place.
- Other things to think about are style, price, materials etc. There are shoe benches in every imaginable finish to match your existing furniture and home decor.
Shoe racks come in all shapes and sizes! What we typically think of as a shoe rack is a set of open shelves or bars, shoes lined up side by side where you can see each and every pair. This is a great way to organize and store shoes, as it allows you to see very clearly what pairs you have available, every size, making it easy to choose the right accessories for your outfit that day. Another option for storing shoes, however, is very simple - something you probably already have around the house, or, at the very least, can pick up very inexpensively at a store, and that item is a drawer! Drawers come in all shapes, sizes and styles, so it’s easy to find one to fit in with your decor and budget.
Some of the benefits of shoe drawers are the following:
1. First of all, shoes can’t fall out of drawers when they are closed. If you (or others in your family) have trouble keeping your shoes on the rack and off the floor, drawers may just be the right answer for you. They will keep shoes stored in the drawer, offering a more neat and tidy look to your closet or hallway, wherever you keep your shoes handy.
2. Second of all, drawers keep shoes out of sight. Some people might find that they don’t want their shoes in their face all the time, they would rather have them hidden away. And a drawer can easily solve this issue.
3. Thirdly, drawers offer relief from any shoe odor that is bothering you. A plastic drawer will keep odors totally contained, but it you want a little airflow, try a woven or fabric drawer system, like this versatile 3 Drawer Chest. Set it up in a closet or even out in the open and keep your shoes out of sight (and smell)!
Just kidding, anyone with a love of shoes can benefit from a sturdy shoe box, even a minor upgrade from the cardboard shoe boxes handed out at stores is a great idea! There are many options out there, from plastic to fabric, wicker and more. But what should you do with your “splurge” shoes? You know, the ones that cost one quarter of your mortage payment last month? You can’t simply place your designer shoes on a shelf, or on the floor, or even in the cardboard box they came in. If your shoes cost more than 100 dollars, you can expect to get good resale value for them down the road someday, but only if you take very good care of them in the meantime. One way to do that is to invest in some nice shoe boxes, and I think canvas is a great choice. For a more multi purpose product that you can use for years for shoes or other types of storage, a simple Cotton Canvas Storage Box is the way to go. Since you will literally have this storage container forever, you will want it to be sturdy, and also to protect what is inside. And this box truly does that. The material used is heavy duty breathable cotton canvas – heavy duty means you can use it for many years, and breathable is so important, especially for natural material shoes like leather, suede and other shoes that are sensitive to moisture – you don’t want moisture to ruin your expensive footwear, but you also don’t want to let moths or other insects to get in there and ruin things. For this reason, a fully closed shoe box is important and luckily this one is – a zipper runs around the perimeter of the box to keep items safe and sound!

Shoe boxes get a much needed makeover with these elegant Canvas Shoe Boxes!
If you are a shoe collector (and aren’t we all, really? at least anyone who is reading this must be), then you know that you can’t just keep your best shoes in cardboard shoe boxes. You’ve invested in a great pair of shoes, one that you swear you will wear for years to come, and this pair of shoes needs somewhere very safe to be stored. There are many options out there for permanent style shoe boxes (for long term or seasonal storage). They range from clear plastic, which are great for seeing what’s in them and certainly keep the dust off, but they are not much sturdier than their cardboard friends. Wood shoe boxes are wonderful but more on the pricey side. Well this week’s featured product lands right in between these other options. Safe, sturdy, affordable and stylish. These canvas shoe boxes are soft yet sturdy, with sides that won’t collapse on you when you stack them sky high. The canvas is contrasted nicely by a stylish brown border for looks. They close up completely, with a cute little door on the front to keep dust and insects out, and, believe it or not, you can still see what’s inside, even though the box is opaque. A transparent vinyl window on the front allows you to get a good glimpse of what shoes are hiding in there so that you don’t have to open dozens of boxes to get to the right pair! And, best of all, when not in use (??), these boxes collapse completely for storage and are great for travel! Use them for shoe storage, or for crafts, scarves, accessories and other items around the home. Enjoy this new and improved shoe storage box!
Imagine, an all in one closet organizer that includes a shoe rack – well that’s just what I’ve found! The complete closet hanging organizer system is a modular system that allows you to pick and choose the pieces that you want to get your closet organized once and for all. Each piece hangs over the closet rod which is one of the best ways to make space-conscious use of your closet. Often times, a closet will have short skirts and shirts hanging from the top bar, with one hundred percent wasted space underneath it. The best way to make the most of your closet space is by taking advantage of every inch of vertical space, and hanging shoe organizers help you to do this. This closet organizer is the typical canvas style with shelves and cubbies of varying sizes, with one twist. You get to choose the pieces to organize your shoes and clothes, and then snap them together for a sturdy closet organizer! The shoe hanging shelf has five shelves, just enough space for five or more pairs of shoes. Athletic shoes require more space, but this organizer is great for sandals and dress shoes, each shelf holding a pair. Two other components to this system, one with five shelves and one with four, can be used for sweaters, clothes and purses, but also for large men’s shoes and women’s running and athletic shoes. If you have a few feet of hanging space in your closet, line up a few of these organizers to create an entire custom shoe rack for a fraction of the cost! In addition to the shelves, an expanding rod can be hung from your existing closet rod to maximize storage. They are affordable, stylish, and when you are finished with them, they can be repurposed for something else around the house. Enjoy!
