Finally put my cedar shoe racks together today! I ordered these from Woodlore in June (www.woodlore.com) They messed up in shipping (were late but oh well) and I have been out of town every weekend since they arrived so have had no time to do this project. But I just finished!!
I wanted shoe racks that were not white plastic ones made in China. Or wood ones made in China. This was more difficult than you would think. Sadly. But I found woodlore.com and they make them from cedar in the US. YAY!! and DOUBLE YAY!!!
Yes – they did mess up a bit on the order in my shipping (much delayed.) But they are a great product. So I would recommend them. And they smell GREAT! And BEST of ALL is my heels/pumps are off the ground!!! Finally!! My flats are organized completely differently. As are my boots. And “special occasion” boxed shoes. And sneakers and flips-flops. Doh…
But yay!
16 pairs of heels...black, silver, purple/eggplant and red ones mostly..
and
27 pairs of heels...browns, gold, pinks, greens, yellows, etc.
My husband often complains about my shopping. But really…buying cute things is all about looking cute so he is silly to complain about that. AND I don’t go out and buy $800 pairs of shoes. I look for good deals (which are fairly easily found now! He should support this endeavor!)
My most expensive pairs are still in their boxes and stored on a shelf above (5 pairs). Including the holy grail of my shoes…my Louboutins. Oh! And my wedding shoes are up there – but those should totally not count! I’m never going to actually wear them again! But Ralph Lauren does make a great shoe…
And no….1 pair of black shoes and 1 pair of brown shoes is not all a girl needs. Flats, work pumps, going-out heels, 3″ demure heels, 5″ F me pumps, peep toe, sandals, on and on and on…And forget about the myriad of different shades and colors….
So men – stop trying to understand. You likely won’t. Deal with it.
