We still have gift cards to BBB (Bed Bath & Beyond) from our wedding so the other day I went on a shopping spree : ) I needed some retail therapy and what better way to spend money than gift cards! I got some things for the kitchen, a new mattress pad, etc. AND I got a SHOE RACK! Since college my shoes have been in buckets. I never know what I have or where a certain shoe is so today I was determined to make my closet look beautiful. This was my closet with buckets of shoes before.

The box says "Easy to Assembly, Together in Seconds" HAHAHAHA! I had to leave it in pieces on the floor twice because I got so frustrated with it. It was NOT easy to put together. Not that there were a lot pieces but because they didn't want to fit together! UGH! I left it to go work on school but before long that was frustrating and overwhelming me as well so I went back to the shoe rack. SUCCESS!

I emptied the buckets and organized piles of heels, flats, tennis shoes, sandals, boots, dressy shoes. I then put them in the rack according to how often I wear them (hence the purple, pink glittery shoes are in the back corner)
I got it together, however, they are supposed to be stackable also another HAHAHA. Not stackable. But I like it better next to each other anyways.


Finished!!!


However, I had to find a place for my dressy shoes, boots and tennis shoes but I think I hid them nicely. : ) What do you think? Did I do ok? Any suggestions to make it better?
P.S. If anyone ever lets me buy another pair of black heels, hurt me!! Unless I throw some away, then I would need a replacement...right : )

looks great! I'm going to have to look into getting a rack like that for my shoes!
whoa...great job!! so..um...when can you come do mine? {haha} Hope your having a great weekend! xoxo
Oh I SO need to do this too!! I would hate for anyone to see my closet right now! yikes! It's a big closet too, which is what makes it so bad - I shouldn't let it get out of control! ha ha- or maybe I just have too many clothes, shoes and handbags. I try to tell myself every time I buy something, I need to get rid of one thing, but that has never happened!
Great job, you have inspired me! =)
Love the organization!! Good job on putting that together I would get frustrated & just quit all together haha!
Looks great, Lauren! So glad you're finally getting to go back to school this week!
Yay looks awesome..! Goodluck today! Praying for you!
