Do It Yourself Shoe Storage

        
I'm always looking for shoe storage ideas. I stole this idea from Krystel Smalls. This particular picture shows children's shoes stored by pairs. But you could also store adult shoes (one in each cylinder), scarves, socks, gloves, etc. 

How to: cut PVC pipe to desired length and glue together. Use in your closet, bedroom, child's room, mudroom, entry, or wherever you like!

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint with Snapgoods

   
Do you find that you need something a couple of times a year, but don't really want to buy it and have it clutter up your home? 

Or do you only use something a few times a year and would like to earn a little extra money by lending it out?

Snapgoods helps us make the world a little greener by allowing people to lend or borrow goods. You can browse ads. You can create your own ad. You can place a want ad if you're looking for something specific and don't see it on other ads. 

Makes sense to me! A creative way to solve our clutter problem.

Watch their video and look over the frequently asked questions to learn more. 

Thanks Peter Shankman at HARO (Help a Reporter Out) for the tip on Snapgoods!
