My sister had three doors covered both sides with shoes when she moved and had to downsize. My husband has like three pair. Sundays, sneakers, work shoes. Maybe a few flip flops floating. Ah, the simplicity of manliness.

I thought of a weird way to store my million flip flops. I used a file holder. The kind you put on your desk and place 5 folders in. I like you closet better.

Ginger, I did get the white shelf at Wal-Mart; but it was ages ago. I'm pretty sure they still have them. I simply had to add the over-the-door rack because the shoe collection keeps growing.

I think you have more shoes than I have clothes. I think I have like eight pairs of shoes and 4 are work shoes.

Awesome post!! Very clever. I think Robert has more shoes than me! and I can't get him to put them away.

Oh, my dear girl. This hit too close to home. I am the queen of avoiding tasks by pretending that I need to do others, then moving on to something more fun, usually followed by watching episodes of something lame on Netflix. Well, maybe you're the queen actually. Can I be the princess?

You and those shoes, WOW! Does everyone else have that many shoes, because if they do, I am surely lacking.
