I am not going to mince words... I have a lot of shoes. And when I get dressed in the morning it can be a challenge to find just the right pair. It was so sad when I would go through all the boxes and discover a pair I totally forgot I had.
So I embarked on a Shoe Organization and Recognition project. I took pictures of all my shoes, printed them out and taped them to the boxes. It has improved dress time significantly. I also enjoy opening my closet and surveying my shoe domain.
I uploaded a few instructional photos to my project gallery.
I've wanted to do something like this. I wanted to get clear shoe boxes to organize with, just haven't gotten around to it yet. Your organization skills are inspiring. :-)
ReplyDeleteHoly crow! Ok, fess up, how many do you have?
ReplyDeleteI did the clear shoe boxes thing. Your idea is much cuter, though.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! And a really, really good idea. I can't believe how many shoes you have, though... :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I came to Quebec, I planned on staying for two weeks. That's why I brought only two pairs of shoes... Now, a year later and still here, I have extended my collection to five pairs... I have a long way to go before I need to organize them the way you have done! hehe
By the way, do you always keep the boxes? I always, always throw them away. They're so bulky!
you know kimora lee simmons does the same thing. they showed her closet on mtv cribs and she had clear boxes with pics. very clever.
ReplyDeleteI also organize my shoes in types as well! It helps when I'm looking for something sporty or dressy.
ReplyDeleteyou have some shoes i would LOVE to have. lol. what is your shoe size?? do you feel like selling some to lighten your load and open the doorway to more shoes? jk. your organization project is awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteCan I just say how much I love that you hang your clothes in CHROMA ORDER too!!! Yay!
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of cheap press-board shelves I got at target that have little cubbies in them. Each pair gets its own cubby - and you can see all of them without having to deal with the boxes.
ReplyDeleteSad thing is, even though I have 2 whole cubbies (with about 30 slots), I have to throw all my off-season shoes in a box and stuff them in the back of the closet for the summer.
I did the same thing, but with clear boxes. I have over 20 pairs. Shh...
ReplyDeletei have so many pairs of shoes, i have lost count.. even wearing a size 11 has many advantages of getting shoes on clearance or shoes that not many people have! i have a floor to ceiling shoe shelves ;)
ReplyDeleteHey there...would love to get you into some of our clear shoe boxes
ReplyDeleteMuch less time consuming than the picture thing......trust me ......I tried
