In honor of the resolution season I wanted to share this storage project that was SO worth every minute. We completed the project this summer, but it could be fun and easy to do inside (in Oregon you need to get creative when the rain starts.)
The Project: We had a mess of baskets holding our shoes, hats, gloves, etc. Inspired by Pottery Barn-ish most-beautiful-mud-rooms-ever (see examples here) we wanted to go creative with our space.
With help from my parents and a lot of work on the hubster's part, our shoes are now super organized, visible and not smashing each other. (Trying video for the first time, hope it works...)
What we used:
Lumber - new (shhh... don't tell.)
Hooks - found at garage sale, one bag of 20 quality brass hooks for $1! We removed old paint and tape and re-painted.
Chair - from Goodwill Super Store, chopped in half and painted.
Paint: Left over from other parts of our house: white, blue, orange. The most fun was painting a faux carpet. To do it yourself you will need to paint one layer at a time, taping off each layer as you go.
You will hear from me soon! As always, thanks for reading!
