Your Cart is Empty
Between me and Roxy (way more Roxy), we have quite a bit of shoes in our house. "Our regulars" kind of just pile up by the front door so I made this little shoe rack today after work. It mounts to the bottom of our floating desk/bench. I never really did a good post on the desk bench, because I made it right before I started the blog. It's basically a curving top mounted to the wall. The low spot is a bench where you can sit, and the higher is a desk top with a chair for a laptop computer or reading. It's made out of angle-iron and left over pieces from our old porch deck. Anyways, I made the shoe rack out of 1/2" steel rod and 1" flat bar, no surprises here.
Just two bent pieces of steel welded to a bar, the front railing is just slightly lower than the back to set the shoes at an angle. I sprayed clear finish over the metal to protect, yet keep the look of the raw steel.
Oh my goodness! The bench is awesome, and the rack ingenious!!! Absolutely love it!
LOVE!! I always have shoes by the door too… unfortunately my bf isn’t quite as saavy with building furniture as you are. This bench/desk combo was the best, and now it’s better with the shoes! Jealous!
neat!!!!!! :)
Love this! Wish I had room for it in my house. Very cool.
First off, congrats on being featured on Apartment Therapy. I found your blog via there. Great projects, and this one is genius. I really like the desk/bench. I’ve got to build something similar. Wonderful blog.

Thanks guys, hopefully I can make something to store the rest of Roxy’s shoes soon. It won’t be easy….
