Hello friends! I hope everyone is doing well today!
I want to walk you through my shoe and purse storage. It has evolved quite a few times, but I finally have the “main” storage exactly where we want it to be.
I know everyone (well at least me) wants a big fancy closet that has custom built ins, where every bag has it’s own little cubby and every pair of shoes has an ample amount of personal space.
I would love to have a space like that, but I am super happy with what I have now and the space that I created.
The Bones
The actual shelving unit is from IKEA, it is the Hemnes Bookcase with glass doors. You can get it from IKEA for only $389.
I really like having the doors being glass, so that my shoes and purses don’t get dusty and stay protected.
I don’t house ALL of my shoes in this closet, and I only reserve this space for my high end shoes, daily heels and my purses.
Above the Storage
I like to store all of my boxes for my middle and high end shoes, purses, jewelry above the shoe cabinet.
The Top Shelf
I reserve the “top shelf” for my favourtite and most fabulous shoes, this is now consisting of my Jimmy Choo and Louboutins.
The Second Shelf
The second shelf is a continuation of the first shelf, it’s where my Alexander McQueen, Brian Atwood and YSL live. I will be adding some Valentinos to this shelf in the future
3rd & 4th Shelf Down – Purse Haven
These shelves are where I store my high end purses. I move them around based on what I purse I am using. Primarily my large purses sit on the top shelf (Speedy and Neverfull). On the bottom shelf I put my smaller purses, Chanel and Louis Vuitton, but sometimes a Neverfull sits there too.
5th & 6th Shelf – WHBM Shoe & Purse Collection
On these shelves, I have my collection of White House Black Market shoes called “Olivia” these are the MOST COMFORTABLE shoes to wear all day. I’m sure you can tell that I really love them! Some of my shoes have matching bags, so I like to keep their bags behind the matching shoes to make it easy to pull.
I really hope you enjoyed getting a peek into how I store my shoes and bags, do you have a favourite way to store your beloved purses and shoes? Let me know in the comments below!
Can’t wait for the day when I own my own LV bag. Love the storage idea.
