Then I get built in cubbies underneath
My shoe wrack has always been a piece that I haven’t been happy with. At first we just put our shoes on a piece of rug off to the side. My husband has too many shoes. Then I got a gardening stand with multiple shelves and hooks to hold keys. I thought it would work great. Well my husband has taken up the bottom shelf and is spilling over underneath it. Also, sometimes he will set his shoes next to the shelf. What is the deal with that? It leaves sand everywhere. I have started looking for shoe racks and everything I have found online is hideous. I don’t want a giant unit or a cabinet like thing. I think what I want is a bench you can sit on to take off shoes. Underneath I want a cubby system that shoes go into. Out of sight but convenient. I then would hang hooks on the wall for the car keys. Should be easy to find right? Nope, a bench with cubbies doesn’t seem to exist. I have started going the custom furniture route. I found a furniture builder that is open to the idea of making a custom shoe stand. They even do upholstery work too. I can pick up my fabric, level of padding, and the style of wood. Then I get built in cubbies underneath. I have seen a drawing of the work and it looks like it will be really something. I can’t wait to replace that current shoe stand. Right now it is such an eyesore.
