Shoe shelves

For those of you not living in GB, this weekend marks the 60th anniversary of the Queen's throne. The practical effect of this monumental occasion is the country gets two additional days off to their weekend. Many people have left London for sunnier pastures but the people who remain will be partying (in the rain) all weekend to Pimms, festivals of all kind including food and music and the Union Jack. For the rest of us...it is the MOST depressing time of the year. Penultimate weekend of the potential last exams ever in our lives, we have 3 more to write in this neverending love affair with becoming a lawyer. When I'm not at the library, I'm at home...waiting for the opportunity to wear these again...

I actually don't have many pairs of shoes (as I thought I did), so we used the shelf as a pseudo book case as well.

Far away from the bottom so guests cannot judge our book selection...

I had a lot of stuff I didn't want to put on display but needed a place for, i.e. flip flops / guest slippers / belts etc. so I used my favourite British brand to store them. They make the best picnic baskets ever and lucky for us, they sell these baskets separately too. We used a mixture of both their champagne cases (the Tiffany blue ones) for our hats and scarves and the baskets for other odd bits and ends. We even use their biggest baskets for our laundry.

So...that's it! What do you think?
