Alot of shoes. I really have to get them back in boxes and into my closet. Just never do it. You can probably find some dust bunnies as well, as it is hard to vacuum under there.
We have a homemade rolling shoe platform made from a sheet of plywood and the bottom of a (computer) server rack salvaged from an old job. It holds about 16 pairs of shoes and reaches across our Queen sized bed. Very handy, if I do say so myself. There are also a couple of boxes with odds and ends.
Lurking under my bed currently are the lonely shoes who don't get worn very often, a Tupperware wrapping storage box with wrapping paper and curling ribbon, and a cardboard box with spare girl scout uniform parts in it.
this made me think of a calvin and hobbes strip that i loved. this isn't an exact transcript but it's pretty close:
calvin and hobbes are in bed and there are mumbles coming from underneath the bed. calvin says, "are there any monsters under there?"
"no..."
"there better NOT be, because i'd hate to have to get out my flame thrower!"
hobbes: "you don't have a flame thrower."
calvin: "they lie, i lie."
My cats live under my bed most of the day, along with a box of presents (I buy goodies all year long), and a big Rubbermaid full of all my son's school papers and art projects.
Can I dust first and then tell you?
After the dust there is one plastic storage bin full of "stuff", a pile of books,
several cat toys and hopefully the shoe I was looking for earlier
A construction toy set awaiting rehoming.
A smallish box labeled "momentos" in my dad's handwriting. And his briefcase filled with stuff like his high school football letter.
My water shoes.
A stack of framed photos that haven't found a spot on the wall yet.
A mysterious zippered plastic bag.
2 single socks.
A jumble of shoes and boots that refuse to be organised

A few dog toys find their way under as do the occasional bunny - frame sits too low to store anything, not even shoes ..lillybrook says,
