Coat Rack Shelf

We got a shelf from a friend.  I decided that it would make a good coat rack for by the front door in the living room.  In order for it to be by the door, I had to move the two shelves that were already there.  I also decided to tackle the shoe clutter problem at the same time. 

The kids' shoes kept falling between the rods on the shoe rack

Enter the old mesh bin

salvaged parts

mesh sleeves for the shelves = no more shoes falling through

The shoe rack is below the new shelf


This is the new home for one of the shelves

Here is the other shelf that was moved in its new location

The shelf.  Isn't it pretty?

What a clever solution to the shoe shelf problem! :)

Awesome! Way to use what you have! It amazes me how the right 'tools' (a couple appropriate shelves, in this case) make keeping things neat SO much easier.
