Great Post! Any chance you could provide the original source for the shoe storage photo near the end (just before the pic that links to a tutorial on bed risers? All the shoe organizers I’ve seen in stores hold 2 pairs of shoes across and 4-5 pairs down. I’m wondering if someone sells a product made in this configuration; 1 pair tall and 6+ wide, or if they made their own from scratch, or from and existing hanging shoe organizer. Thanks!
Great idea for under the bed organizing! I love them all. This beats any plastic clear container under the bed. Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.
Love these under the bed ideas for smaller spaces. I love the shoe storage photo. =) Thanks for sharing.
