It’s here, it’s finally here – my office reveal! Just in time for us to move haha {2 weeks and counting}. So if y’all remember, this space in our townhouse has come a long way…oh hey circa 2013. As you can see, some things have remained the same – can’t seem to part with my neutral ikat chairs or gold candle containers I made into marker holders, but a lot has changed. Like, the addition of my infamous {ok kind of, not really…only if you follow me on IG} SHOE WALL!!

I’ll admit, it took Sterling quite a while to come around to this whole concept of building a floor to ceiling wall of shoes. But if you know anything about me, I’ve had a shoe obsession my entire life {yes, even pre-blog}. As my collection continued to grow {even with monthly donations leaving the house!}, he came around to the fact that this built-in was truly a fantastic use of vertical space {i.e. getting my shoes off the stairs and floor of our bedroom}. I worked with a local contractor to make the shelves adjustable {slanted or flat} for re-sell purposes, and the dimensions to the tee in order to fit as many heels as possible, along with some storage down the center. I couldn’t be happier with how it’s worked for us this past year. Granted, I still have to clear out space to make room for new pairs regularly, but I’m getting better at eliminating old styles that I can live without. Now that we’re about to leave this beautiful space behind, I’m already plotting my next office/closet renovation…on the to next!
