Wooden Shoe Cubbies – Product of the Week
February 26, 2010
This Week’s Product of the Week proves that shoe racks do NOT have to be dull. Read on for what is probably one of the most luxurious shoe racks you’ve ever seen. And, it’s more affordable than a custom built shoe organizer.
All I can say is WOW! This shoe organizer packs a punch in terms of style and function! You choose your wood tone, your size and your configuration to make a custom shoe rack that fits your needs exactly, at a fraction of the cost of a real custom built model. The Shoe Traps Modular Shoe Cubby System is one of the coolest shoe racks I’ve seen on the market. There are three different sizes of shoe boxes to choose from, large, medium and small. Each shoe cubby has a glass door on the front with a magnetic closure, it couldn’t be simpler to use! The glass doors are cool for three reasons. First, they look beautiful lined up next to one another, each framed in a wooden box. Second, they allow you to see what’s inside, and show off your colorful and beautiful pumps, flats and men’s shoes. And third, they keep dust, moisture and insects off of your shoes. A Spanish cedar lining offers the benefits of aromatic cedar, which acts as a natural insect repellent and also a natural deodorizer. So choose whatever variation works best for your shoe storage needs, and simply stack them together using the provided adhesive strips – very easy to use and looks great in the closet or anywhere in the bedroom or hallway. The wood choices include cherry, mahogany and maple finishes. For a more finished look, each color also has a platform available that can hold a couple of your choice of cubbies. All in all, I would say for the price, this is one of the best high-end style shoe racks available!
How I Reduced My Closet 50%

I am a master at impulse shopping for clothes, and then wearing something only once before it sits in my closet for years. Parting with clothes has never been one of my strengths. I know it’s illogical to own something for that long without utilizing it, but I always stump myself with the question, “But… what if someday I do want to wear this?” Come on, I know I’m not the only one who does that!
I just moved into a darling new downtown apartment, with lots of old fashion charm, and very old-fashion closets. Small closets, that is. My previous 6-foot long closet was packed wall to wall, so I had to do some painful – but necessary – purging in order to fit into the new one. Continue Reading
Ten Tips for Packing Light
February 18, 2010
With most of the airlines charging baggage fees now, it’s getting more and more expensive to travel. I’ll be flying in a few months and wanted some tips on traveling with only one carry-on suitcase. I found an article by Diana Pemberton Sikes career-intelligence.com. She has some GREAT tips for packing light! Here’s an excerpt from the article:
At the height of my clothing consumption days in my late teens, we were invited to the wedding of a family friend in Austin, Texas. It was a two day drive from our home in Colorado Springs, and my mother, in the interest of managing her limited trunk space, gave me an ultimatum: I could only take as many clothes as I needed for the trip. No more. Continue Reading
