Re-purposed Shoe Rack

I don't have THAT many shoes, but I have enough that they somehow manage to ALWAYS be in the way, disorganized, or end up in a different room.  Target sells 2- or 4-tier racks made from wood and metal racks, but they're too much for me to spend when I'm trying to save money!

I snagged this little guy at Goodwill for $4.  It's secretly a CD rack, and I got the idea to use a CD rack as a shoe rack from my friend Jessica.

So I took a handsaw and sawed them off!  I bought 2 cans of Krylon Metallic Spray Paint at Walmart for around $3 each, which is more expensive than I would have liked, but I wanted a color that would go with my room.

Oil Rubbed Bronze was the finish...after spray-painting the whole thing, this:

became this:

A closer look at the finished product:

It's got a super-subtle gold shimmer.  I can fit 2-3 pairs on each shelf.  I can even put my heels on it!

I put my boots on the bottom shelf (they're not in this picture!).  A few pairs are missing, but here's the general idea:

 

I love it! :D
