(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best shoe organizers

For Curtains: I love this fabric http://www.joann.com/home-decor-sheer-fabric--iman-zahra-leaf-luna/13072806.html#start=9 - It's sheer and bright.

As for placement: I agree keep the couch where it is, but maybe take the blanket off the seat cushions and fold it neatly on the back of the couch?

Place some decorative throw pillows on the couch and scoop chair : maybe these? http://www.amazon.com/Pillow-Perfect-Decorative-Damask-Square/dp/B0062YKBKW/ref=sr_1_17?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1416252112&sr=1-17&keywords=throw+pillows or these http://www.amazon.com/ElleWeiDeco-Modern-Cadetblue-Damask-Pillow/dp/B0036J86NA/ref=sr_1_179?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1416252361&sr=1-179&keywords=throw+pillows

For above the couch you can either buy some canvas wall art or you can search some of your local shops for cheap basic wooden canvas or frames and cover them with fabric you like and stapling them on the back. http://www.brit.co/fabric-canvas-art/

Other items: Near the entry way where the plant is sitting on the floor, Can you hang the bike there? Not too high, just keeping the tires a few inches from the floor.

How to hang a bike: http://www.treehugger.com/slideshows/interior-design/10-ways-hang-your-bike-wall-work-art/

TV: I would wall mount the TV high (eye level when standing) between the windows and hide the cords, you can fish them through the wall or get a kit to run them alongside the window frame and down to the outlet. I would aslo place a floating shelf under the tv for your dvd player and other media: http://www.amazon.com/Southern-Enterprises-Chicago-Floating-24-Inch/dp/B004Z2N6AU/ref=sr_1_3?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1416251794&sr=1-3&keywords=floating+shelf

Here are a few ways to hide the cords: http://www.ehow.com/how_5163459_hide-wall-mount-tv-cables.html

I would move the trunk and place it on the floor below the TV.

Take the electrical spool and stain/paint as you mentioned in one of the comments and use it as your coffee table.

Take the plant from the floor by the entryway and place it on a decorative stand in front of the window where the bike was with a few other plants you have: http://www.amazon.com/Gifts-Decor-Rustic-Finish-Planter/dp/B008YQ57QE/ref=sr_1_5?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1416251930&sr=1-5&keywords=plant+stand

I would ditch the small book shelf by the door. Place a wall mount book shelf above where the bike is hung and another small one above the scoop chair on the shared wall with the kitchen. Go to a local consignment shop and look for some nick knacks and things that speak to you to use as book ends or get a shelf with ends like this: http://www.amazon.com/Set-Floating-Shelves-Walnut-Finish/dp/B008AD0JAA/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1416253781&sr=1-1&keywords=wall+shelf

I would hang wall mount coat hooks above where the book shelf was by the door and sit a small shoe rack on the floor. Like this: http://www.amazon.com/Amerock-H55662-MORB-27-Inch-Mahogany-Oil-Rubbed/dp/B003UYU1LQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1416254946&sr=1-1&keywords=coat+hooks and http://www.amazon.com/ClosetMaid-Stackable-Horizontal-Organizer-Espresso/dp/B001UTRUOY/ref=sr_1_2?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1416255049&sr=1-2&keywords=small+shoe+rack

Leave the dining table where it is. Above the dining set I would look for a brightly colored wood or canvas painting or funky clock.

Maybe: http://www.amazon.com/Today-New-Wood-Wall-Marla/dp/B00JRC24QA/ref=sr_1_16?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1416253056&sr=1-16&keywords=canvas+wall+art

It looks like there is a guitar in a case in the corner by the bike/window... If so, maybe take it out of the case and display it on a stand- it'll be easy to access for random play time and look cool when not in use.

I know you only mentioned the living room, but I can't help but notice the kitchen. I see you have what looks like a small strip of drywall between the tile above the sink and the start of the sloped ceiling. Maybe place a wall mount paper towel holder on the strip above the sink? http://www.amazon.com/interDesign-Classico-Mount-Holder-Chrome/dp/B00004XSFE/ref=sr_1_7?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1416252733&sr=1-7&keywords=wall+mount+paper+towel+holder

Buy 2 of the wall mount towel holders. Use one over the faucet for paper towles and put the other one to the left of the sink above the counter. Use S-Hooks to hang you coffee/tea cups there.

To the right of the sink between the sloped ceiling and the window? it looks like you have a little bit of was space. Maybe add some small floating shelves there to help keep items off the countertop.

Intsead of the metal dish rack I would place a brightly colored drying mat to the right of the sink and put the cutting board where the dish rack was. This will help give you some counter space to prepare meals and drinks.

I made this. The dimensions aren’t perfect but might help see a different way. https://imgur.com/a/XHTquaV so just some thoughts. Move things up walls for space. The glass enclosed dresser doesn’t look easily used. Move the desk over into the corner and move the tall dresser were the glass front one is. The chest and case on it are rough and not very functional. I’d get them out at least while figuring everything out. If you can add shelves or cubes above your side table that would add space. They would need to be screwed in. If you can’t then skip that. Hanging laundry baskets or use a shelf with a couple storage bins to toss laundry in. Depending on measurements possibly something like this on the glass front furniture.

Add shelves above the desk. Again bins, tubs, cubes even paper organizers can be used. Dollar stores can give extra options. Don’t consider things exclusive. I needed a closed container to hold chopsticks. I bought a pasta container. Think about how to move things up. Think about how you like things for ease. I like doors but for example some cubes come with or without drawers. Under the bed- I’d consider it storage. It doesn’t look convenient day to day. Under there you want to put this.

You replace the crystals every so often. Keep it away from pets. Damp rid will grab tons of moisture but while you’re checking everything out make sure you don’t see signs of a pipe leak.

Basically storage needs to go up. Bed drawers don’t work in large rooms so use for storage. Put damp rid out. Make sure no leaks. For me the idea is enclosed. Choose what works for you. Don’t forget if the idea of doors on storage cubes don’t work for you that you can use a curtain to cover it if you don’t want others to see. The idea is finding what works for you. If you move things and have a wall space open buy taller items. I’ve been redoing a smaller space so feel free to ask if you need some other suggestions.

Edit another idea is move that wood dresser to the window like in diagram, glass one next to it and cubes where the wood one is now.

My product is my patented boot storage system, Boot Butler. I sell it on my website, on Amazon, and a growing list of retailers.

It truly is the best product available for storing boots - a few of its benefits include:

• it saves about half the space compared to keeping the boots standing side by side (with or without boot shapers);
  
  
• it gently cradles the boots from the inside to support their shape and prevent creases; and
  
  
• it provides excellent visibility and easy acceas.
  
  The response from customers has really been tremendous (better than I ever allowed myself to hope prior to launch), but getting it into new retailers has been somewhat challenging, as not many stores presently offer boot storage products, so it's hard to get them to try a new category...
  
  If anyone wants to give it a try, let me know and I'll be happy to hook you up with a discount.
  
  Also, any suggestions about how I can spread awareness and reach more customers would be greatly appreciated.
  
  BTW, one final note: If anyone has a contact in the buying department at Zappos or DSW, would be willing to provide an introduction, I will be in your debt!...

Couple more to add to this list. If you bring a few powerful magnets, you can use them to stick all of the papers like the funtimes, ship mail, and menus to the wall to keep all surfaces free for your stuff. I use hooks like these so we can also hang hats or whatever on them.

I use an over the door shoe rack like this on the bathroom door. It also helps keep things organized and clutter-free.

For the sail and sign card, we use a simple velcro cable tie. String the sail/sign card to a keyring, put the keyring on the cable tie, and wear on the wrist. Card usually comes with a small hole punched in a corner.

If you have motion sickness, but don't have the patch, try getting some green apples from the lido deck to keep in your room. They sometimes help. Also, room service will deliver a dramamine and the charge is minimal. Talk to your steward if you feel motion sickness, they are great.

Don't forget you can carry on with you one unopened bottle of wine per person! You can purchase bottled water for a reasonable price.

Have a great time!

I'm late to the party but here's mine: http://imgur.com/a/O37Lh


I'm new to asian beauty and don't have very many products :( It's not pretty...but extremely functional. The clear pouches allow me to see every single item as well as put them in order of use. Because it is hanging on the bathroom door right next to the sink it is extremely convenient. All the items on a shelf or counter became extremely cluttered. Would 100% recommend this to anyone! I have one for all my make up products as well. Best of all... only $15 cnd.


Here is link to door pouch! comes in different colors!


https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00E9MB6IK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Glad I could help!

And yeah if you have the space for it, it's definitely much better than mixing things and trying to find, say, all 3 drone batteries, remote, sd card, bag etc.

Better to just open a little compartment and it's all there, and when you're done just throw it all back in.

When I start to live in my own place, I think I'm going to set up a dedicated wall where I put something like this floor to ceiling (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074GY2P7N/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Pi.-Bb260RZM7)

Although I'd prefer concealed labeled drawers, not open space.

Your closet sounds similar to mine.

We bought these and they work great and fit on the shelves quite well. Perfect for jeans! I can fit 6 pairs of my jeans and my husband can fit 4 of his. He’s a bit taller than me.

https://www.target.com/p/river-birch-y-weave-medium-green-room-essentials-153/-/A-53764194


They’re also good for sweaters and long sleeve shirts. I purchased a smaller size for tees and tanks.

There is room to hang clothes under the bottom shelf in our closet. Instead of hanging clothes I put a shoe rack there and a low and kinda wide plastic set of drawers.

We already had our shoe rack, but it’s similar to this.

My plastic drawer set is one piece, but the size of like two of these put together. (I found mine at TJ Maxx and haven’t seen another one in store or online.)

Something like this may work well for you too.

I know you said they take up too much space on racks, but I have a 7 tier rack I got off Amazon that holds a TON of shoes and has a cover that zips shut to help keep them clean and I love it. And the same company makes taller ones that have even more racks if you need. I can store way more on these than I had originally thought I could. Might be worth at least checking out!

I NED DIS because we don't have any space to put a dresser for baby clothes, and I saw a great idea where you roll up the baby clothes into a hanging shoe rack. I can organize clothes by type, and it's super space efficient.

Thanks for the contest, goo luck with the move!!

If this is your room: buy a shoe rack and a hamper. When you start to clean, make your bed first then move on to everything else. Before bringing in a new style, make sure your room is organized.

I don't think you need to shave, your beard grows in nicely. If it was patchy I would suggest shaving. I agree with others about sizing. Take your measurements and write them down. Read through the sidebar of building a basic wardrobe and understanding color. I like the color of your shirt and pants, so perhaps start looking for a new style in those kinds of colors.

Lastly, save this as your before picture. Post updates when you find an outfit you like.

Nice!

I mentioned it briefly above, but I'll repeat it here since you'll likely appreciate it ;)

I have started using those 6qt sterilite boxes (8 or $8 at walmart), and since they're roughly shoe-box sized, I also got a giant rolling shoe rack (I measured and tried several, this one perfectly fits the cheapy walmart 6qt sterilite boxes with a tiny bit of friction-fit) to hold them all. So now when I'm in the "collecting" phase of a new project, I can write a label on the box in wet erase, and then add all the pieces in as I get them, and then if I ever get around to working on it, everything is right in one spot. It really helps a lot with the problem of "lots of projects in progress at once", because I have a dedicated space to store each project and it keeps everything together and out of the way.

Next step will be to find a place for some larger "project boxes" for items that won't fit in that small of space. Sterilite has these 4 shelf cabinets that used to be in this lovely tan color that fit in reasonably well indoors, but unfortunately they stopped making that color, and now they make it this awful flat grey color that looks bad anywhere except the garage... and I wouldn't want to use it outside because the dark color would cook anything you put into it.

Well, not only is it expensive, but depending on how much stuff you own, particularly when you're a collector, it would be over whelming. Further, I can imagine how poorly that would look with wires dangling off the wall everywhere.

What I do is keep my controllers in clear ziplock bags to prevent tangles and dust. Dealing with zip-ties, rubber bands, and/or velcros is just not reliable and is a pain.

Then I have one of these I hang in my closet where I store my most commonly used controllers. I have about 45 controllers in that thing along with some commonly used cables.

You could probably easily mount one to a wall if you really wanna have it out and on display. Or mount it on a door. There are also nicer ones than this. I got this for like $10 at Fry's Electronics. It does work really well. Here's what it looks like. It's not exactly beautiful, but it is very functional. I am also doubling and tripling up like controllers in some instances, so if you wanted to, you could make it look a lot cleaner with just one controller per spot. Mine has 30 slots in it.

Edit: Also, those disc dots. lol

HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY!!!

I'd love this or this and this please!

I want an early present!

In addition to the poly Novations already mentioned (A-Station, KS Rack), the Bass Station rack, Super Bass Station, and D-Station all have plenty of knobs.

Other options include the Moog Slim Phatty (with 3U rack ears), Spectral Audio Neptune 2 and ProTone, PAiA Fatman, and lots of 1U 303 clones (Doepfer MS-404, MAM FreeBass 383, MAM MB33 mk1 and 2, Next! Superbass 4.4, Syntecno TeeBee, Control Synthesis Deep Bass Nine).

I'd imagine a good portion of the later E-mu rack modules with 6 knobs on the front would be decent to edit, same with the Access Virus Rack XL.

An alternative that would give you a bunch more options is to buy a 3-tier shoe rack like this one and put a bunch of desktop synths on it. It's been done before and it seems to work really well.

cheesecake all day everyday!

I bought something like this


https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XWQTFSR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_1INSBb15F65PD


To hang on the back of our small nursery door to store things like vests, sleepsuits, hats, socks etc. Saved loads of space!

Complaint - 102 F real feel today. More treadmill for me.


Confession - it has actually been ok on the work gym treadmill. I complained enough so they finally installed a TV, yahoo! I am forced to watch reruns of Friends, Mike & Molly as well as 2 and a Half Men but better than no entertainment


Complaint - the holiday season is whirling around and I am not ready. Soon it will be Halloween, Thanksgiving and then Christmas.


Confession - these silly things have made more room on my shoe rack for my running shoes! https://www.amazon.com/Shoe-Slotz-Space-Saver-piece/dp/B01BFC7RWU They look ridiculous but suddenly I have so much space! This means moar shoes!

I use these Shoe Slotz Organizers from Amazon! Absolutely love them!!

I meant power strip. Sorry. Can’t seem to wake up today! It’s a little plastic box you put your power strip in, hides all your cables. Love em.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073DCYP67/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_qNvWAbT9VH899

And a simple two tier shelf from amazon

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002IT6DGQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_kPvWAbVZN7S8P

Some cable ties/holders

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072V1BYBF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_cQvWAbHF237TD

I’m in Asia. Got it from my amazon equivalent. I was looking for something like this.

Would probably work just as well if not better.

I used these storage “cubes” (not actually cubes so it comes with 3 different sizes of panels 😛 but it turned out nice that way) and corrugated plastic

You can but them on Amazon too for $12 each! The only shoes that don't fit are taller heels and boots but I just stack those on the very top shelf. http://www.amazon.com/ClosetMaid-896300-Horizontal-Laminate-Organizer/dp/B002IT6DHA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397679863&sr=8-1&keywords=closetmaid+shelf

Yeah I’m only 2 years in and have a history of obsessing and overdoing things so I’ve got checks and balances in place lol

I do desperately need a better solution to my storage, but what do you do with the boxes after you put the shoes in there?

Also are you talking about this product: https://www.amazon.com/SONGMICS-Organizer-Entryway-Translucent-ULPC44S/dp/B074H1WTQX/ref=sxin_4_ac_d_rm?ac_md=0-0-c29uZ21pY3Mgc2hvZSByYWNr-ac_d_rm&crid=VU3XS8PO2OGN&keywords=songmics+shoe+rack&pd_rd_i=B074H1WTQX&pd_rd_r=c614cb64-59e5-445a-869f-fadcd2f5ad41&pd_rd_w=C2zq0&pd_rd_wg=2g7me&pf_rd_p=404c4843-2c96-4d0d-a5fe-2b0598693e61&pf_rd_r=HXW1VE0YJMJ80GNKC63F&qid=1568910952&s=gateway&sprefix=songmics%2Caps%2C545

The separate pockets for everything has worked really well, but my collection has gotten a bit too big, so not sure what to use instead.

Sorry just saw this

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B074H1WTQX?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Got these for 28 when i Bought them. Its a tight fit depending on your size shoe and some chunkier jordans. For reference I am size 10/10.5

What about getting something like this?

Tall shoes can live on the top rack or on the floor next to it, everything is visible.

You can find them a lot of places, but here’s an example on Amazon.

I bought one off Amazon too, you can check my post history for a pic while I look up the name but it’s a metal rack with adjustable shelves. Mine is made up of two separate shelves that stack.

The shelves are made by SONGMICS

Cheaper at $3 a piece.

I have two Ikea shoe racks that I use with Shoe Slotz for more space. I actually have most of my shoes on seasonal rotation. If they're not in season then I store those in their box and into the closet or under my bed the go.

For anyone asking for shelf ID, I believe it's this: https://www.amazon.com/SONGMICS-Organizer-Entryway-Translucent-ULPC44S/dp/B074H1WTQX/ref=mp_s_a_1_29?keywords=shoe+shelf&qid=1565832699&s=gateway&sprefix=Shiebshelf&sr=8-29
