Master Closet Shoe Organization + $100 Ace Hardware GIVEAWAY!

in Giveaway, House Projects on

So the other day I was walking through Ace Hardware and stumbled across the organization aisle… ya know, where they have all of the closet storage products? And I noticed these little Rubbermaid shoe add ons for their closet systems.

master closet shoe storageYeah, it’s our “shoe box”. Literally.

Now we could have redone the closet with really expensive built ins or a full closet system, but I’m thrifty and can’t really see spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on a closet. So now you can see why I was a little giddy to find those shoe add ons at Ace Hardware.

We purchased (3) 48 inch hanging brackets and used drywall anchors to secure them to the wall.

The shoe add ons are on an angle and have a little lip at the bottom so your shoes don’t slide off. And each shelf holds about 7 or 8 pairs of shoes (well 6 for my husband and his size 13 feet).

One lucky reader is going to win a $100 gift card to Ace Hardware to spend on something you didn’t know they offered like shoe organizers… or whatever else you need!

  28. I would buy paint and organizing stuff. We are moving in a few weeks to a smaller apartment and need some new organizational things (for shoes, books, clothes, etc.). This would be awesome!

  61. I have an Ace Hardware near my house that almost rivals a Lowes in size. They have everything Lowes would have, minus the lumber department. I would use the card for lawn and garden supplies, particularly fertilizer.

  73. We just bought a new house while waiting for a medical retirement from the military to come through…lets just say this house hasn’t hopped of the fashion train since it was built in 1995…. So from 3 states away we are updating on a slim budget and light fixtures and paint are desperately needed!

  77. I definitely NEED some of those shoe shelves! I have a shoe box too, lol. Two of them actually =)

  80. omigosh, LOVE your closet! Serious case of envy here ;) Ok, I need to do some organizing for Spring as well. First I’d need the Zenith crossbar over the door towel rack for my bathroom towels, along with the Zenith over the toilet shelf because I am sick of having my new toilet paper fall into the toilet lol. For my table or fridge the OXO Good Grips turntable or I might just splurge and put it towards a Moen High Arc Kitchen faucet!

  82. We are currently redoing my office, so whatever my hubby needed for the flooring/walls. Probably lots of nails!

  91. I’d love something fun like shoe organizers (or a ginourmous closet!) but I would probably end up buying a new wheelbarrow or another composter.

  93. I would buy exterior paint for my house and supplies to build a raised bed garden! Love your closet transformation!
