space saver and showcase: shoe art! one of my finest moments......

most new york women live in very, very tiny apartments they are never home and they invest all their money on accessories, clothing and work gadgets. but there comes a time in glam gal's life when her space becomes more than a crash pad.  what to do? my client had no room for more "stuff" - literally every square inch was covered with 15 years worth of clothing and shoes. i couldn't even see her beautiful hard wood floors.
solution: after a quick look around the apartment, it was immediately clear that this woman already had her own FAB signature style and she didn't even know know it! she was surrounded with loads of beauty  and art: her shoes and bags! thus, and in order to clean up her space, we designed a wall of her accessories/ART. we bought modestly priced shelving (at ikea) that would run the length of her wall and blend with the existing paint (so as not to take up more space visually). in minutes we had the wall loaded with gorgous art and more space to walk through the bedroom.  was it a success? see for yourself!
