LOL! I have had to "hide" my new shoes from my BF as I have run out of closet space and they have taken over the closets, most of the floor space under and around bed.....I have converted bookshelves into shoe shelves! My first NYC apartment was a tiny walk-up wih this little joke of a "kitchenette"...the oven and four cabinets immediately became my new shoe room.
If any of the above sounds familiar..we could be long lost family!
