Sometimes you don’t have to spend oodles of money for great design. A simple idea, some DIY skills and voila! A project that delivers visual impact on a small budget. Jean, a soft goods designer and one half of Ladies and Gentleman Home started using pant hangers as a inexpensive solution to hanging her prints years ago. She was most amused to find that the pant hanger idea was featured in the summer issue of Oprah’s O at Home magazine. Jean adds, “I love pant hangers myself and think that they are elegant, well-designed utilitarian objects. I have a whole collection of vintage hangers in all different sizes, materials and forms.” She uses them either simply on picture hooks or on a wooden grid frame set behind her sofa. The result are stunning wall displays. The beauty of her design is you can easily switch the prints around whenever you feel like it! - Via

Today I want to present a new interesting idea to store your shoes. Some time ago I’ve presented you an interesting product named Shoe Wheel, but for today we have something than you can do it yourself.

As you can see from the picture the shoes rack does not take to much space, and is easy to build. You just lean the rack against a wall and you can store a few pairs of shoes you use daily.

I’ve got this idea from Bytrico an online shop that actually sell this simple product .
