Step up

Hi. My name is Meghan, and I'm addicted to shoes.

Problem is, my closets are maxed-out on space and I have no place to put my ever-growing footwear collection. And though there are a bunch of shoe racks out on the market, they all take up precious floor real estate, and none of them quite go with my decor. Well, until now.

Thanks to Generate—an online-based store that offers up clever home furnishings—this stainless steel, wall-mount Shoe Rack just might be the answer to my problem. Available in both small and large sizes (small: 27.5"L x 6"D; large: 47.25"L x 6"D), this puppy can hold anywhere from three to six pairs of shoes, and it easily installs into the wall with screws—just make sure to find the studs so the rack doesn't fall to the floor. That, after all, would defeat the purpose of this space-saving shelf. So, what's the cost? The small size retails for $99 and the large size for $149. Though that does seem like a lot for shoe storage, these things are attractive, incredibly durable and can do double duty as a book or picture shelf, too.

Even though this item won't cure my shoe addiction, it does give me a way to cope with it.
