How to make a horizontal shoe rack (a la DWR)

by on Mar 13, 2009

Two sets of low shelves with shoes on them

Not Martha gets very Martha-like with this horizontal shoe rack inspired by DWR’s j-me shoe rack, which is on sale for $93.50 to $140.25 each. Although Not Martha doesn’t say how much hers/his/their version cost, you can bet that it was a fraction of the DWR price.

To make a horizontal shoe rack of your own, some of the things you’ll need include:

  • 1/2 x 6 x 3 boards for lower part of shelves
  • 1/2 x 3 x 3 boards for upper part of shelves
  • large and small L-brackets to attache the boards to the walls
  • screws–drywall or otherwise–for mounting
  • stain or paint and poly for finishing

To find out how to proceed, head on over to this tutorial on Not Martha.

DWR’s version. (Personally, I like Not Martha’s better.)

Organize your shoe rack in different shapes.
