peeeeeee-eeeeeewwww

So I have renamed our mudroom the stinky feet room. Even though we have a shoe closet, the kids (and that includes Brian) always let their shoes pile up by the garage door. Okay, I admit my running shoes are in that pile, but they don't smell nearly as bad as Caleb's little shoes do!

Any advice on how to implement a new shoe-organizing system would be appreciated, because this is just not acceptable.


Here is the latest project I worked on over the weekend:

I have been wanting to get rid of our old armoire, but "New Armoire" hasn't made it to #1 on our "things to buy" list. I decided I couldn't stand looking at our old armoire for one more day, so I took the spray paint to it and painted it black like all the rest of the stuff I've painted lately. It didn't turn out perfect, but I can at least stand it until "New Armoire" makes it to the top of our list.

Before:

(I took this picture before we moved when I tried to sell it on craigslist. See, nobody else wants it either...)

Now:


Actually, I'm kind of in love with it now. I think I will keep it!
