Shoe Organization and Donation

IHeart Organizing's challenge this week is entry ways and the living room. Since a lot of people kick off their shoes in the entry way she challenged us to organize our shoes and donate the ones we no longer need to a good cause. Here is my handy work:

First where my shoes used to be...

Our Entryway...

My Fall and Winter Boots...

My Cute Boots...

A Pile in my Craft Room Closet...

A Pile in our Closet... and yes that is a rollerblade and no I don't know where the mate is...

Oh, and in a cubby too!

And to compare... here are my hubby's shoes.

That's right... three pair. LOL

I bought two shoe organizers, one for the entryway and one for my dress shoes. Here are my dress shoes all paired up and put away. This one went under our bed. The entryway one will have my flip flops, running shoes, and one pair of dress shoes on it but it will be a bit before I can set it up. We have things in the way right now. More organizing! Woot.

And these will be going to the on post thrift store. Each month junior enlisted families can get 15 articles of clothing for free and shoes are included. I hope these shoes find an owner who'll actually wear them and not shove them in the back of the closet like I did. I have many more to donate later but they are all still packed away in boxes for now.
