Shoe Rack

For a while the acquisition of furnishings for my flat has become a prime concern. For example, in a civilised dwelling there is not a big pile o' shoes™ in the hallway. Footwear is installed in a dedicated piece of footwear storage furniture.

Enter the offer of this article from a friend of my Mum's.


Now, to start with I wasn't so keen on it so I turned the kind offer down, it was after all too large. However, after a trip around IKEA drew a blank for suitable shoe racks I re-considered my decision, remembering that I am, after all, an engineer extraordinaire. By that point it had been thrown on a firewood pile and was covered in mud and bird poo, so needed rescuing.

This is where we cue the A-team music. Stand back everybody, that's right, I'm gonna modify the the shoe rack!


Now it's more than just a shoe rack, it's a shoe rack with a story behind it.
