A temporary solution to my lack of space was to place everything on the floor.
The cords, baskets, books and other items drove me crazy!!
So I did some thinking about the perfect mini shelf that may fit and organize my items-- on the floor-- but within reach. Floor... reach... small... SHOE SHELF!
It hit me like a brick! As soon as I had a spare moment, on the weekend, while rested enough to visit the store I hate, Walmart, I bought a 12.99 Closet Maid Shoe Shelf!
And it has been beautifully organized ever since!
Next step- Cute and colorful table skirt!
I also entertained our Plant Engineer with my knowledge of power tools when asking for a drill :)
