My spouse is the good kind of neatnick. He detests clutter, and has helped me mend my former ways of “file by pile” as well as “boot storage = where you took them off last.” (giggle.)

After all, I developed my website because my best half was complaining of tripping over boots and that I did not know how many I had, or whether I liked them or not.

For about a half-day yesterday, the boot storage issue in our house…

…was updated and restored to order. No clutter or piles of boots stored kinda all over. (I admit, if I didn’t have my spouse keeping after me, our home would be a wreck.)

I built some additional shelving for boot storage on an interior wall of my master closet.

We have a “his-and-his” master closets. Mine has clothes and about 40 pairs of boots, and his has clothes and more clothes, plus a few pairs of ugly shoes.

But the biggest change was to the “boot room” that I built about ten years ago in our basement. I added some more shelving against the back wall and tidied up the place. Have a look:I have a bet with my spouse on how long this organized storage will prevail. Well, I’ll try, I really will.

Life is short: organize boot storage and display your collections proudly!
