Ikea question

[packerfan]

I have the priviledge to go to Ikea on Thursday. I haven't been in a long time. What are some of the hot buys that I "need" in my stamping room/house?

Thanks!

I bought this wooden frame with plastic buckets that slide in and out from the kids bedroom area for my stamp room. The buckets/tubs come in different sizes. I use them to hold punches, embellishments, envelopes, stamps (that I haven't cut out yet), etc. Last time I was at Ikea I noticed they had 2 sizes - a short and a tall one. The tall one holds 6 - 8 buckets/tubs. I have two of them and they sure help me in the craft room with storage since I have a very, very tiny craft room.

They have a metal file cabinet which I bought to hold my paper (not 12x12 but I have a lot of 8 1/2 x 11 and 8x8 sizes.)

I always browse in the office furniture area and in the area with smaller gadgets for the office.

Bought some of their candles too to stamp on.

The kids area has a roll of white paper - I use that on the table when I am stamping.

Have also bought their cork trivets - round, rectangle, and small square coasters to stamp on.

Gee - I think I want to go shopping now!! Have fun on your trip.

I have these Bygel metal wall rods (in the kitchen section) on my wall - and one one of them I have metal baskets to hold things...on the other I have plastic buckets...I also have the S hooks hanging off them to hang my scissors and various other things that can be hung up.

BEST THING - Clevel Lever punches (like SU and Marvey) fit perfectly on the rail for storage

I also have the Bekvam spice rack - it is wide enough to store bottle of primas or other embellishments

They also had these plain metal noticeboards (white and silver - should cost less than $10) - I put one up in my craft corner so I can throw cards or printouts up o it so I don't loose it on my messy desk

They jsut got some new plastic baggies... red and green. Fun ones with prints on them. I just picked up a box for putting my swaps in!

Love my "Alex" drawer unit for the scrap room. It was easy to put together, don't be put off by all the drawers. Great for all kinds of storage and fits a ton of product.

I also like the "Markor" book case. Have it under a window. Holds 12 x 12 albums perfectly, etc.

They have a lazy susan that I put my tool tote on so it spins. It was $7.

I use the Antonius system for putting all my stamps into. Slide out drawers work nicely with a little counter space on top.

I really want one of those traktor chairs. I think it would be perfect.

They have those metal magnetic strips (and the boards too) that were really cheap.

They have all kinds of different plastic boxes.

I wish I had money to do my room up the way I want!

I have that! I love it! I also have a Vika table with a storage unit. You have to buy the pieces separately (table top, legs, storage unit). My husband put it together and said it was a breeze (they gave great instructions). I also have a Jules chair (not the swivel kind with wheels). It's very comfortable! I LOVE IKEA!
