I have tons of shoes and bags that I need organized. I've already removed the items I don't use anymore and add to them to the items for sale in my yard sale, and then I went and replaced them with new ones, so basically I'm still right back were I started. Lol. Anyway can anyone recommend creative space savings ideas for getting my bags and shoes OUT OF THE WAY???

I think everyone has this problem, we all have bags and shoes that we 'need' but don't want to keep tripping over them, or have them cluttering the place up. What I have done, is purchase a couple of plain wooden chests (you can get these at a hardware store) I painted them and stuck pictures, photographs, anything you like really) and put them into any room. Inside I store the shoes. You could also throw some cushions on the boxes to create extra seating. My bags I store in a suitcase, they are out of the way, and what else do you need a suitcase for other than going on holiday. If you think about it, suitcases are extra storage. Mine sits in the corner of my bedroom. I sit a couple of soft toys on top, and make it part of the decor.

You could make a lot more room for shoes by getting something to put under a bed or over a door.
