Her: I need another shoe rack.
We looked for something suitable in the big box stores but everything was too wide or too tall. What we really needed was more space. Thus was born the shoe wall.
The basic idea came from posts on not martha and Apartment Therapy — this is my variation on the theme.
For each shoe shelf you’ll need:
- 1/2 inch EMT conduit
- 1 set of single curtain rod brackets
- 1 set of double curtain rod brackets
Look for EMT conduit in the electrical supply section of your big box store. It comes in 10 foot long sections. They make a special cutter for it or you can use a hacksaw. You’ll need a file to smooth the edges. We left the conduit plain — the shoes cover enough to temper the industrial look. We’ll cap the ends eventually but that’s a project for another day.
