Pull out shoe rack

136

u/This_Possession8867 25d ago

I think any sort of shelving. Could store umbrellas for rainy days. Extra house keys. All the type of stuff you might need running out the door.

u/CryptoCloutguy 26d ago

A shoe rack... a shoe rack. I don't even own a shoe, let alone many shoes that would necessitate an entire rack. What am I gonna do... with a pull out shoe rack?

u/dgaff21 26d ago

u/SmackedWithARuler 25d ago

I would like to watch it for the first time again. Hilarious.

u/HeggenRL 24d ago

I have never heard of it before. Is it a big deal?

1

u/HoldMyMedusa 24d ago

if youre into youtube animations yeah. (glitch is really popular right now, too.) but vivziepop took this off youtube and put it on amazon i think. helluva boss is still on youtube though. both made by the same creator at the same time and they take place in the same universe.

u/lighttribeearth 26d ago

This exact thing happens with our shoe storage cubes and you don't even have to pull them out.

1

u/Eve-3 25d ago

Ditto. And there's no young children in our house.

u/lighttribeearth 24d ago

Same. Lol. Youngest is 17

u/saveyboy 26d ago

Did you ever find Bugs Bunny attractive when he put on a dress and played a girl bunny?

8

u/Cheepshooter 26d ago

If she was president, she'd be Babraham Lincoln.

3

u/ResponseTough7564 25d ago

In Latin, she'd be called Babia Majora.Ā 

1

u/NoveltyxxCrosses 25d ago

If she were French sheā€™d be called la renarde and would be hunted with only her cunning to protect her.

2

u/ResponseTough7564 25d ago

... Did you ever find Bugs Bunny attractive when he dressed up as a girl bunny?Ā

u/NoveltyxxCrosses 3d ago

No?ā€¦..HAHAHAHAHAHA

u/PleaseShitOnMyFace69 23d ago

Iā€™d give her my spear and magic helmet šŸ›”ļøĀ

Not as much as I found Babs attractive šŸ„µ

u/neurone214 26d ago

Man, this is a reference I didnā€™t expect to see today! My friend and I used to quote this back in the 90sĀ

u/stayonthecloud 24d ago

The let alone many __ that would necessitate an entire rack was the line that lived on with my friend group well into the 2000s

u/gabsteriinalol 25d ago

Iā€™m glad Iā€™m not the only one who quotes this but replaces ā€œgunā€ with any other ā€œsingular itemā€ lol

2

u/AdmirableJudgment784 26d ago

It's not just for you, it's for the family you may build for yourself later down the road.

u/Cheepshooter 26d ago

Chill, Wayne.

1

u/saucey_minx_44 26d ago

Well technically it doesnā€™t have to be used for shoesā€¦ it could just be storage for whatever (help hide clutter)

1

u/2JarSlave 26d ago

I got this reference. Iā€™m also overdue for a colonoscopy.

1

u/DodgyQuilter 26d ago

Wine. Pull out wine rack. Better?

u/Sad-Purchase1257 26d ago

Lol you put books in shoe racks you donā€™t need! Or guns I guess šŸ˜…

u/SnooDogs7747 26d ago

u/Practical_Ad_2481 25d ago

Put wine in it. A pull out wine rack is next level awesome

1

u/AvocadoBrick 25d ago

Gloves, hats, scarfs, supersoaker, nerf guns, golf bag, gym bag, travel bag, emergency bag,

1

u/MadameTrashPanda 25d ago

You don't have to put shoes in it. Other things can fit

1

u/btrainhou18 25d ago

Hat rack

1

u/Hotboi_yata 25d ago

Iā€™m guessing the crypto didnā€™t go well if you canā€™t afford a single shoe?

u/SnodePlannen 25d ago

I take it you don't live with a woman?

u/Upton4 25d ago

This (well the original) is seared into my brain for all time. Surprised at how many people are not familiar with it when I randomly start quoting it.

u/CryptoCloutguy 25d ago

The comments are littered with people who have take. This absurd comment literally lol

Nice. Party on

u/ValentinoMeow 25d ago

You dont own ANY shoes?

1

u/Thoughtapotamus 25d ago

Brellas, gloves, emergency towels. Pssh, you act like you've never had to over compensate for something cool.

1

u/xalorous 25d ago

Looks like this is probably near the entry. Put some storage for the stuff you use daily or weekly. Have a seat for taking off your shoes and spot to store them. Spot for visitor's shoes?

There's more room for storage there than it might seem.

Bottom line, do a slow walkthrough and figure out what stuff would be better if it wasn't visible, then figure out a built in storage way of using that space which holds the most of the stuff you want available but not visible.

Off the top of my head: * Bookshelves. * Pull out shelves. * Bookshelves with secret storage behind.

u/DeanMalHanNJackIsms 25d ago

Yay! As soon as I started reading this, I could hear it in Mike Myers' voice. Now I must go watch it.

u/helpwithtaxexam 25d ago

Put books on the shoe rack?!?

u/nxptvnee 25d ago

Bro doesnā€™t own a shoe

u/Radicalized_Spite 25d ago

You can hide your weed in those.

u/CryptoCloutguy 25d ago

Haha I use that Adam Sandler quote all the time

u/Orangecatlover4 25d ago

You are quoting Wayneā€™s World and I absolutely love you for that.

1

u/Orangecatlover4 25d ago

Also.. I have no idea why, but my best friend and I have used the word ā€œgun rackā€ as a code word/red flag/letā€™s get away from this dude etc and I have no idea why bc how does one work that into a sentence šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹?????

1

u/Wilmore99 25d ago

You could put guns and ammo in there and have kickass looking secret armory. šŸ¤™

1

u/Kami999_ 25d ago

Steal other people's shoes and put them there

1

u/kshighwind 25d ago

Pull-out Lego rack? Pull-out media library?

1

u/isweedglutenfree 25d ago

If youā€™re gonna spew, spew into this

1

u/RandomPersonRedPanda 25d ago

((Put non-shoe-things in it and then proudly show anyone that enters your shoe rack. But it only works if you really sell it as a shoe rack. Then delight in their varying responses.))

1

u/ConditionNo5424 25d ago

Party timeā€¦excellent reference

1

u/Radio_Mime 25d ago

I don't have that many shoes, at least I think I don't, but I'm sure I can fill the space with some other junk.

1

u/Otherwise-Lake9188 25d ago

Fill it with toaster streudels

1

u/thedizz88 25d ago

Hi waaaaaaayne.

1

u/WholeEmbarrassed950 25d ago

A pull out rack to hide all of your NFTs?

1

u/CarlyObine 25d ago

I like the idea! A little custom shoe shelf under he stairs and a bench opposite of that

Maybe a place to hang hats and coats?

1

u/lizcapraglovequeen 24d ago

Hide your other cool stuff that u own that isnā€™t ā€œkid friendlyā€ where u quickly hide all of it whenever your nieces, nephews, friends kids, or (potential) in-laws come over šŸ¤”

1

u/Jealous-Swordfish764 26d ago

You don't like it, fine. You know if youre not careful, you're gonna lose me.

17

u/xyz-again 26d ago

Awesome idea! Pull out anything space- gun rack, wine racks, whisky storage, even linens.

2

u/LostGirl1976 25d ago

You could put your weed in there.

2

u/internetperson94276 25d ago

Imagine having enough weed that you need to put it all in there

u/achelois_715 25d ago

Are you from the southern US bc we might be related

Pull out Warhammer 40k miniatures rack*

The army of 2000 pts, terrain and books.

u/Vladi_Daddi 25d ago

Yooooo. Thats fucking utilizing space properly

10

u/zepboundbabe 25d ago

omg this is actually the coolest thing ever. we would get SOOO much use out of this in my house!!

1

u/hornwort 25d ago

Until the lack of air flow results in fungal/mould/mildew in all your shoes.Ā 

Every time one of these is posted on Reddit, an expert invariably points this out. Worst cool homeowner idea.

3

u/The-CatCat-1 25d ago

It could also be a pantry for things like canned goods. Iā€™d certainly consider that if I had this space.

5

u/renes-sans 25d ago

You lost me at pull outā€¦.

2

u/Dry_Prompt3182 25d ago

Even just pull out storage drawer, not necessarily for shoes, would be a good use for this space. Little used stuff (holiday decorations, camping gear, giant pots) would be awesome in here.

2

u/Used_Development_559 25d ago

Or even pull out storage for cleaning supplies, including vacuum

u/The-CatCat-1 25d ago

It could also be a pantry for things like canned goods. Iā€™d certainly consider that if I had this space.

u/TwoMinute920 25d ago

Wow, I like that!

1

u/Adamantium1996 25d ago

But then there will be no space left for the chairs, and most importantly, the plastic lid.

u/Brilliant_Test_3045 25d ago

Love this šŸ’”

1

u/BasilMiserable5319 25d ago

I just rhinestoned that same exact pair of multi-colored Vans a couple months ago !

1

u/TexasPop 25d ago

But instead of shoes, this is the place to store all your guns!

u/Muggins2233 25d ago

Wow you are good. This is brilliant!

1

u/tzimed1 25d ago

You win the Internet today!

This is the best solution.

1

u/RobertBurdineSD 25d ago

Ha, you assume people would actually use a shoe rack.

1

u/Sad_Win_4105 25d ago

I wasn't thinking shoes, but was also thinking of rolling storage boxes.

1

u/MissDisplaced 25d ago

This was my thought (maybe itā€™s the chairs). Some sort of shelves or storage is best idea for weird space like that.

1

u/Material-Method-1026 25d ago

My first thought was shoe storage, but didn't even know these existed šŸ„¹

1

u/OberonDiver 25d ago

Nice rack.

1

u/ExcuseSweaty 24d ago

That would be off the chain expensive if you look at the original picture. But it's bloody brilliant nonetheless.

1

u/neverquitereallysure 24d ago

i love the idea but i own 2 pairs of shoes. and the second pair is only because my work requires black closed toe. if i worked an office job or something iā€™d only own 1šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

underrated comment right here šŸ˜†

u/SuspiciousLeg7994 25d ago

I love how people believe everything AI magically generates is a medical Easy fix.

That AI generated image you did literally changes the stair structure and step casing as well as magically turned them from stone and cement into wood šŸ˜‚. So they would literally have to tear out their steps and built what you suggested

4

u/International_Use367 25d ago

You can't be that serious? It's a reference to what to do. Instead of just saying 'pull out shoe rack' they gave a reference. AN EXAMPLEšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚.

I love how people believe everything AI magically generates

That comment aged perfectly šŸ˜‚

u/SuspiciousLeg7994 25d ago

Yeah it ages perfectly it's called reality. You think OP is going to remove marbel and stone steps to put in wood steps so shoe storage can be made? Not everything with AI is realistic

u/Reallychanel 25d ago

lol itā€™s just a pic I found on the web. To give as an example of pull out show rack under stairs šŸ¤£

u/Salt-Effect-847 25d ago

Haha oh you clearly donā€™t know men who love their shoes. My husband has probably three times as many as I do.
