Style Diary – Shoe Closet

Now that I’ve moved, I’ve lost my beloved bedroom wall where I had placed a custom quote shown below.   It was frequently used for my Chictopia outfit pics  Lately with my move I’ve been relegated to whatever area had the least amount of unpacked boxes in the background, thus the series of work outfits shot at my front door. I’m excited that my mini-makeover project has been completed.  My once, cheap Ikea, floor-to-ceiling shoe closet is now a fab, fuschia photo opp!  See my before and after below and let me know what you think!

Unfortunately, this is the only shot I have of my before version but you can see the plain wood background before I painted it.

Here is my after!

Yes, I AM the Korean Imelda Marcos!

Oprah’s closet and other inspirational celeb closets to die for

This month’s O magazine caught my eye because Oprah was on the cover showing off shoes from her to-die-for shoe closet.   It reminded me of my earlier post on celebrity closets which attracted a lot of attention and so I had to capture the Oprah photos and share with you some additional closet photos (including MINE) as a follow-up.

Here’s MY shoe closet (on a budget of course).  I made the shelving unit myself using an Ikea unit that I bought on sale They ran out of white shelving which is what I would have preferred but I didn’t care so much being that I knew it would be hidden behind the curtains shown here.  The sheer, white floor-to-ceiling curtain and wall-to-wall curtain rod were also inexpensive finds from Ikea.  The shoes, well they were all bought either on sale or were gifts from my lovely friends at Bloomies, Bruno Magli, Gucci and Ferragamo.
