Home Interior: Closet

Gina, from the lovely <a href="http://temporary-nest.blogspot.com/">Temporary Nest</a>, tagged me!  She showed us the contents of her purse on Wednesday and now it is my turn.<br /><br />Hubby found this way too enjoyable.  He wanted to hide my purse so I couldn't edit the contents (I didn't!) and also threatened to put embarassing contents within it.  Then he mocked me for stuffing my purse with kleenex.  Then he weighed it (5lbs!).  Lots of fun was had.  <br /><br />I wanted to make this post somewhat "house-y," so below are a couple of pics of where our shoes and my purses live.  This closet had a horrible closet system from the 70s.  We ripped it out and realized this space was perfect for my shoe shelf (from Winner's).  Then we cut two premade MDF shelves to size and installed.  Someday I'll show the rest of our closet-y goodness . . . <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
