Shoe store - a pricklysauce.com client project.
Follow the build and fitting of a unique shoe storage cupboard for one of my clients.
The brief was to provide a shoe store by the front door for visitors shoes, out of the way visually and from their great dog who really likes to chew shoes...as I found out!
The shoe store is to replace an already existing fitted open shelf unit.
Due to the lack of depth I devised it for shoes to be hung on simple turned oak pegs or larger boots or more delicate footware can be placed on the floor of the store.
As the shoe store is located beside the stair I wanted a set of sliding doors and came up with maybe a unique solution of a 'train' of sliding doors that all slide together both opening and closing.
I was unable to find a latch that would achieve this and so built my own with the use of magnets to attach the doors together and a simple sprung latch to release the magnets.
the way the doors slides add a little bit of theatre to the public entrance of the home.
With great thanks to the clients for the opportunity to build this truly unique shoe store for them and in allowing me to release the video of the making of it onto my YouTube channel for all to watch.
Great creativity needs great clients.
Also many thanks to 'Silent Partner' for their funky tune 'Walking the dog'...seemed appropriate really...available for free use through the YouTube creative suite.
