Make these colourful shoe drying racks
By insidesign
I came across this really cool DIY project by Rockport when browsing the Canadian House and Home site, and wanted to share with all you design savvy people! :) They are shoe drying racks that can be hung on the back of a door [to save space, of course] on your laundry wall or mud room. I'll post the instructions below, you can get the instructions with the diagrams here. Enjoy!
Materials:
- 1; 8” x 22” piece of 3⁄4” pine board
- 1; 6 foot length of 3⁄4” panel molding

Create more space
By insidesign
Our bathroom has minimal space; by using the window and putting in shelves we created an area to place baskets to store our toiletries.
This project cost under $15, one shelf cut into 3 parts; 2 for window shelves, 1 for under sink + 12 small brackets with screws. We now have a place to put our bathroom things. Voila!
