"As much as I love the concept of a " purse drawer" - a drawer dedicated to all of the things you keep in your purse, to make switching bags easier - I have nary an extra drawer in my apartment to make one. Its cousin the " purse bowl " is a clever alternative, but I don't trust myself not to completely overflow the vessel and create a small volcano of clutter."
"Not to mention, my apartment has no entryway to speak of. You step right into the living room, so there's no real spot to add a piece of furniture with drawers or even set down a chic bowl. There is just one thing I have space for: a small, three-tier bamboo shoe shelf. So, I decided to try out my own spin on the purse receptacle solution by adding a bin to the top shelf."
"The thing is, I swap bags all the time, from my farmers market tote to my work or gym bag to my going-out purse, and I'm constantly losing and forgetting things in the process. It's sort of like a Mary Poppins meets Amelia Bedelia situation, except the antics are less silly-magical and more "I forgot my wallet again.""
A small three-tier shoe shelf topped with a storage bin provides a compact purse docking station for homes without entryways. The bin prevents clutter and overflowing that occurs with open vessels, and centralizes frequently swapped items like wallets, keys, and receipts. Low-profile storage bins are multipurpose and can hold craft supplies, cat toys, and extra linens elsewhere in the home. Placing the bin on the shoe shelf keeps essentials visible and accessible while leaving floor space free. This approach simplifies bag changes, reduces lost items, and adds an inexpensive, space-efficient organizational solution.
