Hanging Shoe Storage Rack for All Those Shoes
January 3, 2014
It seems like this year my wife got a ton of new shoes for Christmas. This is great because she is a working professional and always needs to have a lot of formal and casual shoes to wear to her various events. Unfortunately there is not a ton of room in our home to store those new shoes this year. In order to keep the shoes organized and efficiently stored, we needed to get a hanging shoe storage rack to keep them off the floor.
Keeping your shoes organized and off of the floor is very important. Shoes that sit on the floor can rub and bump into each other, causing them to scuff and lose their new appearance. It is much more sensible to invest in a hanging shoe storage rack then to constantly be replacing messed up shoes. Shoes can be very expensive so it is important to make sure they last as long as possible.
A great hanging shoe storage rack is the Cedarstow Hanging Shoe Bag. This is a great choice for your closet or bedroom because it is extremely durable. This is important because often a hanging shoe storage rack is only a temporary storage solution, falling apart after a few months or maybe a year of use.
The bag is made from cotton material, giving it a soft quality that is perfect for shoe storage. Rougher materials tend to leave scratches on leather or scuff up suede. But cotton is perfect because it allows you to slide your shoes right into each cubby for easy and safe storage.
The planks in between in each cubby are made from red cedar wood. This durable wood construction allows the hanging shoe storage rack to hold heavier shoes that would tear lesser racks to pieces. Another benefit of the cedar wood is the fresh scent it gives your closet or bedroom.
When you are looking to store a whole bunch of shoes in an efficient and safe manner, look no further than this excellent example of a hanging shoe storage rack.

Kitchen Storage Shelving Acheived with a Kitchen Cart
December 31, 2013
This year we hosted the family holidays at our house for the first time ever. My wife had to work the day after Christmas so there was no way we could make it all the way up to Northern California and back to Los Angeles with enough time to really enjoy the holidays. So instead we had the family come on down and stay with us in our two bedroom apartment. While it was a great time, we were pretty cramped on space. This was especially apparent when we were preparing Christmas Eve dinner. We really could have used some additional kitchen storage shelving to store the extra food, and some more counter space to prepare our food.
Luckily there is an easy way to add both kitchen storage shelving and counter space to a cramped kitchen! All you need is a spacious and sturdy kitchen cart. There are a wide variety of kitchen carts available, from those that fold down to those that have elegant marble countertops, to simple wood carts that are perfect for storage.
No matter what kind of kitchen cart you are looking for, it is important to be sure they are set on casters or wheels. This makes it easy to move your kitchen storage shelving all over the kitchen, eliminating the need to walk all over the kitchen when you are preparing meals. If you have “too many cooks in the kitchen”, as they say, this can be a lifesaver (literally – my father in law is a maniac with the carving knife).
What worked best for my kitchen was the Baxton Studio Quebec Black Kitchen Cart with Granite Top. This kitchen cart provided excellent kitchen storage shelving to store some extra pots and pans, a catch-all drawer and the all-important wine storage racks. And like I said it is set on casters so it is easy to move around the kitchen. The granite top is stylish and also a functional touch.
