THANK YOU!!! I have been bewildered FOREVER about what to do with the pile of shoes that amasses by our front door. Thanks to you, I now have a solution. You are my hero!!!

Char -- I, too, was beguiled by the beauty and convenience of the hinge doorstop, but BEWARE! I now have 2 doors that I have to replace because they caused too much pressure on the door and broke through. Those were interior doors, so they were hollow, but it could still dent your exterior door if you have rough boys. Let me just say that mine were 4 and 2 when the door breaking occurred.

That being said, I LOVE those shoe bins! What a beautiful and organized solution!

The top is the same color as the rest of the cabinet. It must just be the lighting or something!

So did you paint the top of it the same color as the walls, or does it just look like it's the same color as the wall?

Looks great! I hate the look of shoes strewn about. I may need to invest in something like that soon…

Very cool. Lemme know how the "family re-training program" goes. My family would still figure a way to throw their crap on top and shove it under. Sigh.

Those really do look nice! Very functional and a perfect in that space. I like the clocks above them but you could simply trade them out for seasonal items as well. I like the clocks though very much.

I love this idea, BUT… do you know what is the biggest size shoe that can fit in there? My husband wears a size 14. Do you think it would fit???

You are hilarious. My sister introduced me to your blog today and I read it forever and laughed at every post. And I'm more than likely going to take every single one of your ideas.

This is awesome! We are doing the whole bin thing like you used to, but I want to try this for all the same reasons you got it! Now to convince DH that it is worth it – and to wait for the IKEA by me to open (spring).

I have one of these, too. It was a great change…I don't have room for 2, but wish I did. I was thinking of slapping on some vinyl graphics to "cute" it up. Have to keep that Silhouette machine busy!!

Looks good! I've been deliberating on a few different pieces to put by the back door. I can't decide whether to put it on the wall by the stairs (you know what I'm talkin' about) or the wall in the bathroom. Do you think it would look weird in the bathroom?
