Functional Little Spaces pt2

Last week I shared an organizational center in my kitchen on dead wall space. Today, I’m showing a little part of our entry way.

Our entry way is a little tough because it’s narrow, but I really wanted to spruce it up with some decor and functional design. In our apartment we didn’t have a coat closet, so we used this awesome shoe bin from Ikea to organize the shoes we wear on a daily basis. What’s great about it is how narrow it is, and yet each bin holds several pairs of shoes! (In our apartment it fit behind our front door and didn’t impinge on its opening).

I also love the chalkboard there so I can practice my chalk writing and change up what it says!

I’m still looking for some fun fall pieces for the top of the shoe organizer, but here’s what I have so far!

Happy Monday! xo
