Tired of Shoes Cluttering up the Doorway?

Recaptured Charm
by Recaptured Charm
Tired of stepping over shoes at the side door of your house? Ever come in at night and trip over them? I had this mess until I decided to hide all the shoes in one convenient spot.
This is the side entrance to the house. This little entrance comes from the garage where we all usually enter the house. What a mess.. at any given time there is 10 pair of shoes here.
At our local Rona, I found this damaged bookcase they were clearing out. It was a display item that obviously had a few run in's with shopping carts.
We added our own homemade doors to the unit and some new hardware to close in the bookcase.
This is where it stands at the end of the hallway near the 3 stairs that lead down to the garage door. The doors have since been repainted a light taupe, (since this was first posted). This little project is irreplaceable in this area. Without it, I'd have that unsightly shoe store at the end of my hallway.
This is the little landing at the bottom of those few stairs beside the cabinet, The door to the right leads to the garage. The entire space is clean and tidy now.

    Great idea. I've actually have worned the adults in this family and have finally had it so I threw shoes out but told them so that if they loved them they could rescue them. They didn't love them that much only one pair rescued. But I have adults and with children that I would not do, I'd hide them and then I would give back but one time deal. We also come in through garage and have to pass through utility /laundry room and I was so tired of fixing everything I'd finally had it!
