DIY | Shoe Rack.

Unlike most shoe racks, this DIY model features a floating base design which forces you to stay neat and tidy. The only downside that i can see is that when it rains or snows. The moisture will gather on the floor underneath the shoes.

Rather then shell out $75 for a manufactured shoe rack, they decided to save some money and make one that would have dimensions which would allow them to store all of their shoes. Inspired by the J-Me Shoe Rack from DWR, Megan and Scott designed theirs to fit perfectly within their space. Instead of metal to hold shoes by the toe, they decided on two different widths of poplar boards and L-brackets spaced a few inches apart. Very minimal design, look for it in the future at a furniture store. IKEA maybe?
