I am in the midst of reorganizing our master closet and am drowning in shoes. I have a few shoe organizers but none that are working well for me. I came across this ingenious idea for organizing your high heels using decorative crown molding!
(You have to scroll down to find the post “Rack ‘Em Up. It wouldn’t let me grab the post url.)
And here is another slightly more substantial version of the same idea.

Since there is no post to accompany the pin, I’ll share the comment: “Total Cost $20 AMAZING! You will need an 8′ base pine base molding and an 8′ crown molding plus white spray paint. Wood glue the crown onto the base molding, use a finish nail to hold in place while drying, spray paint white. To install, use two wood screws and screw in to wall studs. Viola!” Sounds easy enough and looks cute to boot! Now I just need to find the space in my closet to implement this idea! How do you organize your shoes in your closet?
I am SO OVER run with my shoes. This is a great idea! Just pinned it for inspiration.
Me too! My shoes and boots have taken over my closet and I trip over them every time I enter. I need a better solution! I like the idea of boot hangers but they seem like they take effort…I’m lazy
.
OMG that is so precious!! I’m definitely going to share this with my teeny tiny closet, NYC sister. Thanks for the idea! Too bad that there wasn’t a post with the pic on pinterest.
I know! I searched and searched for 20 minutes going backwards in pins trying to at least find the original user who uploaded the pic but gave up. This baby has been pinned waaaay too many times!
that is such a great idea!
Really cute, the top image looks like the shoes might fall off it, the bottom image looks like the shoes might stay on a little bit easier. Because it loses all points with me if it’s not functional, really cute, thanks for sharing!
One of the most original ideas for storing shoes! I like that they are up where you can see them! Mine are in those shoe organizers, under all my clothes, and I always pull out the same two pairs. Red Puma shoes or Black Puma Shoes. How boring!
What a fabulous idea! Functional and pretty. Thanks for sharing. Those shoes are great looking too.
funny, we are a family of five with 32 pairs of shoes total. we just use the things that hang from the pole in the coat closet. the childrens shoes are on the bottom since they are shorter and hubby and i place ours in the higher slots. i do have two pairs of boots but i place those on the shelf so they don’t get trampled when we hang up coats.
HOLY COW! I spent yesterday searching for ideas on pintrest and never came across this! I need to do this so bad! My hubs and I are discussing the idea of opening up our closet and this would be a great way to store my shoes! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
I found the photo and added it with the description
Beth, the 2nd photo is actually of my closet. I uploaded it to pinterest after completing the project based on my inspiration of the 1st photo. I had no idea it would end up being pinned so many times! I just saw it repinned with a link to your blog. Thanks.
Yay! Updated link for the original pin by Sarah: http://pinterest.com/pin/144748575493039309/
Love the idea, but will glue alone hold the weight of the shoes?
I did the top one, just the crown molding – and about 10 minutes after putting it up, I hear all the shoes fall off of it, they just slide right off… I tried hanging the molding at an angle, nope… didn’t work, even tried pulling it out an inch or so from the wall giving it more room. Didn’t work there either… So I’ll be going to Home Depot and getting base and crown molding, because that seems like it will hold the shoes way better.
I’m so bothered because I just spent so much time painting these darn things lol. Wish me luck.
Lindsey, I think I might have a solution for you. Years ago I had tons of shoes and a long wall into the main part of my closet. There was no way I could hang clothes on that wall cause the area was too narrow. I ended up using that wall for shoes by buying 1″ x 1″ long wood strips which I then nailed into the studs. I then glued (with rubber cement) skinny foam strips on top of the wood strips. The effect was exactly like the pictures above though without the aesthetic flair. Bottom line is this, I think if you can attach foam strips atop the molding, your shoes will stay put. Hope this helps!
Amazing idea! I may have to do this to my closet!
The outdoor is truly the solid black colored, which makes it difficult to observe every one of the
of the coffee that you have spilled in it over time, and additionally it doesn’t really come apart, therefore aside from the filter basket and the cooking pot, your don’t need to worry about cleaning it.
