SHOES - GIRLS BEST FRIEND OR WORST ENEMY???

after going ikea shopping with jen a few weeks ago and hearing about lou's newly refurbished-ish room i was inspired to give my own room a bit of cleaning out!

well really i wanted to re-organise my shoes and lets just say over the past year(s) my shoe collection has grown quite a bit! Trying to find the best shoe storage solution, let me tell you was not easy! Nettie and i could not find a single shoe storage cabinet/shelf that would accommodate ALL my shoes! makes me regret buying so much shoes ahha but i can't help it they're my weakness!

in the end i decided to purchase those clear plastic shoe boxes so i can actually see what shoes i have as i tend to forget about shoes when they're tucked away under 20 other shoe boxes! Now this way i won't neglect any of them! eeeek!

the price i paid for these clear boxes could have bought me a large cabinet or another pair of heels! =(

(note to self: stop buying shoes, just storing them is costing me a fortune AND i actually have no more storage space anyway to place anymore of those boxes as i had JUST enough space to fit all my shoes phewww hehe thanks to some crafty TETRIS work)

Anyways here's the finished look ... i really should have taken a before and after shot but i forgot, my closet still looks messy but at least all the shoes are neat...hahha if you notice i actually didn't have enough of those clear boxes so i had to use a side storage on the left to put more of my shoes in!
