I have had to replace it a time or two over the last four years (occasionally a kid will actually sit IN the basket to put on their shoes) but fortunately I have found some really cute baskets on the cheap at yard sales!Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11653913777541545638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-33075664695745954892009-06-03T09:14:20.027-04:002009-06-03T09:14:20.027-04:00I love your shoe storage idea, too.

We have been working on training Pk to leave her shoes on the mat just inside the door but since our entrance hallway isn't that big, it isn't a great solution.

I have assigned my oldest one this area as "his area" to keep clean.

I just have a plastic laundry basket in the kitchen by the back door, but it contains the clutter. <br /><br />I am working on organizing my books. George has been trying to tell me for sometime that my stacks of books everywhere are really getting on his nerves! So I am coming up with a better shelving system and also sorting them to give some away. I'm enjoying it---it is very freeing, and most importantly, it is making my husband happy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-13344124636037505492009-06-01T10:47:42.957-04:002009-06-01T10:47:42.957-04:00This is a great idea for the shoes.

My cupboards could use a good going through and getting rid of things.

I was sick of the shoes sitting at the front door in a pile. It's been working great. Even my 18-month-old knows where to go when I tell him he needs to get his shoes. ;)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08978036026066329022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-90275004827362905242009-06-01T08:04:15.463-04:002009-06-01T08:04:15.463-04:00Love the shoe idea!

Works great! One of the toddlers reprimanded me though, "Put trash there, not shoes!"

It doesn't look any where near as cute as your shoe basket and I'm so envious. However, I have three teenagers and one of them is a 19 year old male with a size 11 foot. Those shoes just will not fit into a cute basket.aspiritofsimplicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870339828098281415noreply@blogger.com
