So almost a month (gasp) ago I told you guys all about my entryway and why I live in constant fear that someone will come to my door and see the mess and clutter. I vowed to do something about it. I was a girl on a mission. I had all these fabulous ideas in my head and I was going to tackle that entryway.
Yeah. About that.
A lack of money, procrastination, and other life obligations kinda got in the way of that.
I did pick up some scrapbook paper and Mod Podge to spruce up the shoe thingie. The actual Mod Podging has not commenced however.
The dog crate problem was partially solved, at least in my head anyway, when I found this article on how to hide a dog crate. Amazing what searching Google for "how to hide a dog crate" will find you. The remaining problem is for me to A) get the table, and B) figure out how to keep the dogs from being able to reach the fabric. They kinda like to pull any fabric they can snag with their claws into their crate and shred it. This might not work well if I have something pretty sitting on top of the table. So there is some sort of crate retrofit in order if this is going to work. Once again it just takes money.
The one issue I did manage to solve was what to do with all the hats, gloves, etc. that were overflowing in a too small plastic tote on top of the shoe thing.
Yes, my friends, that is an over the door shoe rack holding all the hats, gloves, and scarves. It is not, but is remarkably similar to, the over the door shoe rack some of you might remember me ranting about way back in December of 2008. Now just so you know, THAT shoe rack was given to me in December of 2005 and even though I had no use for it, I held on to it (because it was a gift and hoping I'd find something I could use it for). I finally gave up and put it in a garage sale this past January so I would have less to move to Michigan, and now, just as I lamented about in this post, as soon as I got rid of it, I needed it. Grr.
This past weekend I went to the store and spent $12.99 on this over the door shoe rack. I came home and put it on the door. I put all the hats and what not in it. I proudly showed the hubby what I had done.
Hubby: "What is that?"
Me: "That would be my mad home organizational skillz"
Hubby: "And what EXACTLY did you USE to achieve this organization?"
Me: "an over the door shoe rack?"
Hubby: "A what???"
Me: "An over the door shoe rack"
Hubby: "You'd better not let your mom see that"
Me: "I know"

So, if you are still trying to figure out how to keep the dogs from getting to fabric you put over the table to hide the dog crate, think window screen. Yeah, I know long sentence, but you could get some screen like the kind used for windows and use it to cover the crate so they couldn't get their paws out the bars and to the fabric.... Use a really strong adhesive to attach it to the crate and you should be good.
