Boat Shelves

Medium Boat ShelfMy husband and I met while working at a Christrian Bible Camp during our college summer breaks.  We both enjoy the outdoors.  At camp we have a break week in the middle of the summer.  During two of our summers, my future husband (little did I know then!), six other camp counselors and I headed up to the beautiful boundary waters, which are lakes between Minnesota and Canada.

Only boats without motors are allowed.  There are thousands of lakes to explore.  We would camp between the lakes each night.  The lakes are only a hundred yards or so apart, sometimes closer, sometimes a little farther.

We would take the 14 hour car ride up to the boundary waters and spend the week on the water.  It was absolutely beautiful.

This is the reason why I think I like these boat shelves so much.  I would love to have a Northwoods looking basement or guest room.  These shelves would just make the perfect addition to the Northwoods room!

Shoe Storage Chest

Shoe Storage Chest

Shoes are a major problem at our house!  The kids like sandals to play outside in during the day, slip-on shoes to run over to Grandma's and Grandpa's house in at night and I like them to where tennis shoes when we go out to the store.  It always seems like we can only find one shoe out of each pair!  It is so frustrating!

This shoe storage chest that acts like a bench would be absolutely perfect next to the door.  Not only would the shoe clutter virtually disappear, the kids will have a place where they know their shoes belong.  Also when slipping on our shoes before heading out the door, we can easily do so while sitting on the bench.

I like it!
