Shoe Shelf

One of the other projects I did over the weekend was to create a "Shoe Shelf" for our front closet. With three people storing shoes there (soon to be four once Bryce starts walking), it was getting to be a jumbled mess at the bottom of the closet.

The boards cut and ready for assembly.

The completed shelf!

The shelf in place (no shoes on it yet, as I am giving it another day to dry).

The funny part about all of this is Stacey saw what I was doing but I never told her what it was. (I wanted it to be a surprise). Last night she started trying to guess what it was, and since I knew she would figure it out sooner or later, I instead told her it was a step for our cat to get onto our bed easier.

Unfortunately she thought that was a good idea and told me it was nice of me to think of the cat. So now it looks like my next project will be building a cat step. :)

  1. What is REALLY funny is that I had to read your blog to learn about the true use for the shelf! I noticed tonight that you had moved it from the garage, but didn't see it in our bedroom next to the bed. So, I thought maybe you took it somewhere else to dry or do something else to it. Never thought to look in the closet! Thanks Cutie- you are wonderful. xoxoxo

  2. Beautiful! I wonder how long it will be before you need to build a second one?

  3. It looks like too nice a piece of furniture to put shoes on top of it. I like the surprise part too.

  4. I love that the shoes are all in a jumble under it! ;) I'm sure it will be beautiful with shoes on top too...
