Home Improvements

We stopped at IKEA the other day and look what we found. It is the most WONDERFUL purchase! (I'm not much into IKEA, for I think it's much toooo big and they just have toooo much stuff.)

But with 7 people in our family, that's 14 feet. That's 14 running shoes, 14 sandals, 10 rain boots and then all the extra soccer and baseball shoes at the appropriate time of the year! It can be a big MESS! (We use to have a great big laundry basket but the shoes on the bottom were always so so trashed.)



So, we were looking for some way to organize our footwear and as we drove past, Glenn said, "Oh, let's just stop and look." "NO WAY," I shouted. We had all the kids with us and it was after 8pm. I could see disaster written all over this! "What are you thinking?" I blurted.

But, it was indeedy a GREAT stop! And as you can see, I can put my potatoes on the top shelf and a few cookies that needed the frosting set on the second shelf... just lovely!

What do you mean you don't like IKEA :)
I'm glad you found something useful. Did you get any chocolate or meatballs?

Ooh! I like that! I'd like one of those and we don't have nearly the number of feet that you do!
