the frame works good for shoes depending on the width of it. if its too wide and you are handy you can get “chicken wire” and fasten it to the frame then put the shoes on it. Good in mud rooms, garages, or on the porch for dirty shoes. Also good for laundry room when you have things that you don’t want to dry use it as a hanging rack to dry them. lay items across it. You can also reuse it for an outside storage of certain items like tools, nuts, bolts, door knobs/locks, small household things like spare safety latches, cabinet knobs, wall hooks, hanging accessories, touch up paint, or any smaller items- but only if you have an area that the children are kept out of- can be locked for their safety- like a barn, garage, or storage area. hope this is helpful ;)

I would not have gotten rid of the buckets either. Too easy to reuse. But I’m not sure why putting them on the bookshelf was any better than using the white frame. Personally I like the looks of the white frame better.

That is too funny. I put mine in storage too – for the same reasons!! It doesn’t justify the space. And toys were hanging out or didn’t fit – it is the dumbest thing ever. lol I have my white frame standing on end in the corner behind a couch acting as a console table. lol I’m thinking I could use that doweling for something, but it seems like a shame to cut it up. :) I love what you’ve done with it! :)

I to had two of these holders and now am just using the buckets in a different storage area. They are on a wire bookshelf like thing or the shelves on the wall. Still need to label them though : ) Maybe I will keep the frame though incase we can use it for something like legos when my son gets older

Hmmm, now I will have to decide whether to keep the buckets and chuck the stand like you did, or donate the whole thing. Decisions, decisions….

when you do the labels I suggest a photo/word combo. That has worked wonders for helping my 3 yr. old keep his areas cleaned up.

too funny again. I just donated my whole bucket system to my chapel’s nursery. It is just the thing for the nursery, since it only gets used once or twice a week. Daily use is too hard on those things.

It’s always so delightful when you come up with the “perfect” home for something isn’t it?

That is so funny because I have heard so many people say that they throw out the frame and keep the buckets. The bookshelf looks great!
