Shoe Organization

Time once again for a little organization!  This time I am tackling the shoes in the mud room. 
I had an opportunity to review something from CSN stores...what do I choose??  A shelf organizer.  :)  Exciting right? 
I did not take a before picture.  But picture a rug, a pile of shoes...that was before.
This is after.....
Plus a flip flop basket...
There are 5 of us.  So tons of shoes.  Plus work shoes for the farm.  So I am trying to make this area under the mud room sink work. 
Do you think I can keep it looking this way?  Any other suggestions??  I could keep the huge pile and just build a skirt around the sink to hide it.  That would not be very convenient when you actually want to FIND the shoes though...  I am up for any thoughts you have!

I have shelves for shoes too. I limit everyone to no more than three pairs at a time. The rest have to go to their rooms. Otherwise it just becomes hazardous with people tripping over the wayward shoe. When they get too many by the door and aren't home to take care of them, I grab a pile and put them by the stairs for them to take up to their rooms when they get home. Not ideal perhaps but it works.

Hi Angie! Found you through Roller Coaster Life (i think???); i love me a good country chic cottage, so you appealed to me right away :) Can't wait to nose around more!

We just did a porch/shoe attack too! I actually bought a book shelf at Canadian Tire for all my heels etc , and left the bottom nook a little bigger for boots at the bottom... it's still chocolate brown press board, but I think I might paint it white in an upcoming move; maybe even add some molding :)

It's nice having them all on display, right!? So much easier! Good on you! :)

We have a shoe basket..but every week I try to empty it and send all the shoes back to everyones closets...that way they don't stack up so much..

I keep my shoes in a big clear tupperware bin in my closet. That way they're all in one place, but I can still see through the box to figure out what I want to wear.

I think the shoe shelf and the basket are a great idea. Thanks for linking to We're Organized Wednesday.
