Friendly advice: If you live in a small space and need an efficient way to organize, I highly recommend getting a hanging shoe rack.

For less than $10, my sanity has been restored or at least improved.

Oh yeah, those things are very useful for far more than shoes. You can also get over the door shelves too, they might be market as spice racks, as well as the obvious clothing hooks. So much useful space is over looked.
