What is your favorite storage piece? Love hearing what you use and what works for you. Let me know in the comments! :D
You can also get door and drawer fronts from other companies that specialize in making them for IKEA products. Semi-Handmade is one company that does this and they can also make custom doors so if you are combining IKEA and non-IKEA units they can make door fronts that tie it altogether.
Wow!!! Great information, Trina! Thank you!!!!
True...there's also several companies that make custom covers for Ikea sofas (usually better quality fabrics!) and one that I heard of that makes legs for their furniture.
Thank you for this video! We love IKEA.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for taking us to shopping with you! That was fun and filled with great ideas!
And look how much money we saved shopping together! LOL :D
Thank you for sharing.
Norrine, been MIA awhile but can not resist a virtual Ikea window-shopping opp'ty! So good to see you! Thank you.
Hope you’ve been well!!!! Good to see you again 🥰
I've never been to IKEA but, WOW never knew all these wonderful things there
A wonderful tour of Ikea. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for coming with me! :D
Great tips for storing items! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Norrine!
You are welcome, Shirley! Thanks for watching!
How fun! I enjoyed the tour. Great tip to check the “as-is” area on Tuesday 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful!
I never thought about IKEA. Thank you 😊 💓
You’re welcome 😊
My organization struggle is a small space serving several needs but I have to have space for a wheelchair. Thank you for your great videos and ideas.
Those storage spaces need to be multi duty for you - and easy access!!! Let me know if you need anything specific. :D
Thanks for these great ideas! You showed a lot in the as is section that I never knew.
I love that silly As-Is section so much! LOL
The As-Is information is greatly appreciated! I had no idea Ikea had a section like that.
Yes!!! I’ve always seen them in the floor where the warehouses but just ask sometimes it’s hidden in the back corner but it’s a wealth of treasures.
You know I love storages, lol
Me too!!! LOL
I’m about 2 hours from an ikea. I’m actually really glad it’s so far away. Especially after your walk thru videos!🇦🇺❤️
That’s a great money saver!! lol
I am also about 2 hours away from the closest IKEA. If I lived any closer...my wallet would be empty.
awesome ikea visit. i don’t have one near me so i must live vicariously thru you! thank you❣️
Oh no! I'm happy to take you with me :)
IKEA is a wealth of ideas and styles!
Hello, my friend!!! How are you today????
@@TheCraftyOrganizer I am good! I joined a class at our local college that is letting the students work real cold cases from our city! I’m so excited to be doing something so interesting and different!
WOW! I am a horrendous organizer. and my crafting area is in my living room and it is taking over! LOL. these suggions will really help me. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome!
Love love LOVE this!! Thank you soooo much for all the tips!!
ang
You are so welcome!
Hi Norrine!!! I love all of your posts, but I always get really excited about your IKEA trips. I want to visit my IKEA as soon as possible. Thank you so much for recording your visits for us! Love you! 😘
I heard from Elisa at The Scrappy Wife also that Tuesday is a good time to go, because Ikea apparently gets a lot of returns on Mondays. These shopping videos are driving me a bit crazy, though. I don't feel safe going in to stores "just because" with this freakin' pandemic still going on. While Mama & I are both vaccinated, there seem to be a lot of covidiots here in the Lone Star State, who just refuse to take basic precautions at the very least, so the rest of us suffer as well. OK, rant over. Seriously, even if the videos drive me crazy, I love going on these virtual tours, especially with guides like you, Norrine! I don't remember the Ikea closest to us having an As-is section when Mama & I went last, but we may have just passed it without realizing. I am soooooo ready to be able to go shopping again! Anyway, thank you for showing us all the cool stuff. Take care, & have a wonderful day! :)
They usually hide them in the warehouse corner. Just ask! And, yes... please stay safe!!!!!! I want you and your Mama healthy.
I love the billy bookcases that are deeper then the normal ones. I bought one with doors that are wood at the bottom so I can store anything in them and use the top shelves for display.
Aren't those great!?!?
I always enoy your videos and have implemented many of your organization ideas. You've inspired me to change the way I organize, to declutter and donate, and free more time to actually create!
Your video on Ikea was a real eye-opener! My next trip to Ikea will be on Tuesday (didn't know about the best day to shop!) and I will take your advice on where to look first! Thanks for all the great hints!
Thank you so much!!!!! I love hearing when people are able to enjoy their space again!!!!! Have fun at Ikea!!!! Let me know if you find any good deals!
Good shopping info. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Great ideas! I've got 2 dressers that I planned to give away. But now I'm thinking I can repurpose them. 🥰
Uh oh!!! LOL I'm causing you to keep things! :D
@@TheCraftyOrganizer well, I've had this dresser all my life. My dad gave them to me after I got married. They're solid wood. They don't make furniture like this unless you pay an arm and a leg. 😉 I may just keep 1 bcz the drawers are the right size to add in sections. 😉
Thanks for the tour and your helpful insight!
My pleasure!
Love the As-is section! When we are shopping for something specific we always check there first. Typically we find what we are looking for exactly or a great substitute! Not having to assemble it is a bargain in itself!
Right????? I do love the instant gratification paired with a discount! LOL
Very informative, lots of great ideas. I just get so overwhelmed. I haven't been in my craftroom in over a year. I usually have to put my cricut or silhouette whichever on the kitchen table to use. They stay in their bags most of the time now. Thanks for sharing this.
You are so welcome! You may like my next video then... it's scheduled to come out 11/4 at 10am (GMT)
Very interesting.
Thanks, Pamela!
i wish we had an ikea here in Auckland, New Zealand. i especially like the clearance area. Thank you Norrine...another great one.
Thanks for watching! If you ever visit Southern California, I'll take you to mine!!!!!
I’m sharing this with my hubby!!
Maybe you can take a trip soon!!! Just warn him, if he's not gone before... it's a couple hours in the store! LOL
@@TheCraftyOrganizer oh ya! He is taking on woodworking in retirement, so he may enjoy the ideas. Two hours? Take a lunch break there and make a day of it! 😉
If using the metal bookcases outdoors where the temp drops below freezing be sure to bring them inside for the winter, unless they are specifically guaranteed for outdoor winter use. I’ve had some metal furniture (not from IKEA) that expanded and contacted so much from the changing temps that the paint cracked and moisture got under the cracked paint causing it to rust underneath and flake iff. It definitely depends on where you live and how cold the winters are.
Shame on me.... I do forget there are places with snow!!!! Thanks for keeping me in line, Trina!!!! 💜
Oh I need to go to Ikea! I cannot remember the last time I was there! The as is section is where I want to shop! I also want one of those cute wreaths so that I can jazz it up and give it to a friend for Christmas! Thanks for sharing this video Norrine!
When my kids were really little... I'd take them to the kids play area for the hour they offered, and I'd just go look through the as-is section! Gave me a quick break - and they LOVED playing there! Win-Win!!!
Awesome ideas’
Thank you! 😊
This was a wonderful video! I’m hoping to make some changes to my craft room and these tips will help me immensely! Thank you Norrine!
You are so welcome!
Hi, I bought two, 3 drawers dressers in OfferUp, and placed 1, kallax 8 cubes on top of each dresser. Also got another kallax 8 cubes and placed it sideways, I use it as a top surface. This is a small room, and finding I lock top surface. Thank you for all your suggestions, and T4s
That is so awesome!!!!! I love stacking! I'd love to see a pictures of your set-up! You can share them to my Crafty Organizer page on Facebook: facebook.com/groups/730125317461615/
I love my antique book case with glass doors.
Don’t have an IKEA in my town. Like their pieces though. I ordered children’s beds from them. Saved a lot space in a small bedroom. The cost of shipping was quite high. Thanks for store tour 🛏🪑🛋
I’ve heard the shipping is high…. Not sure how this is working but several people are selling new items from IKEA through Amazon where if you have prime shipping could be free.
I really love Ikea. I have a few pieces of Ikea furniture and a lot of home goods, so this isn't Ikea hate...
I grew up pretty poor. We moved a lot and had a lot of crappy furniture. In the last few years, I have done a lot of research on wood and building furniture, as I plan to go into the woodworking business. Here's what experience has taught me:
Not all Ikea is created equally! Do your research before you buy! Check out reviews online. In particular, make sure you look at reviews from people who have owed the product for at least a few months. Also, look for a change in reviews in long time favorites...has a product that used to get great reviews suddenly started getting mediocre (or bad) ones? It could indicate that a cost cutting measure has changed the design and lessened the quality of the product.
When you are in the showroom, do not be kind to the displays. Shake them. Bounce on the couch. Lean back on the back legs of the dining chairs. Do all the stuff your kids do when you aren't around, and worse! And look at the pieces with a very critical eye. Are there cracks in the joints? Has one of the hinges broken off of the doors? Does it wobble? Does it just seem too light? Remember, if the piece can't survive the showroom. it can't survive if you should ever move!
Also, check out your other options too. You will be amazed by what you can find on Facebook marketplace, thrift stores and yard sales. Sometimes, all it takes is some paint and nee hardware to make an old dresser into a stunner again! Just look for real wood pieces and you can't go wrong!
Also. don't assume you can't afford custom work. You would be surprised. Last year, we were looking at redoing our kitchen cabinets. We checked out some ready to assume options online, as well as off the shelf options from Lowe's, etc, and the Sektion system from Ikea. And, just because I was curious, I called 3 local cabinet makers for bids. Surprisingly. I got a bid for all birch cabinets, installed by the cabinet maker for $2000 LESS than the other options we had looked at! So, make some calls...it certainly can't hurt!
All such GREAT advice!!!! You should make a video! Thanks, MissBeans! xoxoxo
@@TheCraftyOrganizer I'm thinking more and more about that...maybe we could chat about it?
Thank You! ✨Very Informative As Always! ✨ I Value You! ✨
I'm interested in a custom shelf with storage underneath. I have a Micke large desk in white and wanted to make it have more surface area to work with. My dining area is my office/craft room. I made some as is items into a custom table already lol 😆
Email me! I have some ideas :) Norrine@Crafty-Organizer.com
❤️
Loving looking at what Ikea offers! Your Weight Watchers adventure is working, Norrine, I can see a definite slimming in your face. Keep up the good work, you inspire me!
OH MY GOSH!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! I'm down 16 lbs so far!!!!!!
@@TheCraftyOrganizer that's fantastic! Your hard work is paying off!
I found a twin bed over the be rack in Kohls it was 20$ I don't remember the original price. It had 2 shelves and when I looked at it I could see that it would fit right over my drafting / art table it was great to store artist canvas and I added hooks all around the lower shelf so I could hang my paint tubes on. For me it was the find of a lifetime. Ive given to my Granddaughter now because I have another system ,I am building in my studio. Slowly but surly I will get it all done. I love Ikea but alas there is only one in the state of Minnesota and it is 175 miles away.
Yikes!!! That is quite a drive for an Ikea!!!! Although, I did drive from Portland Oregon to Seattle Washington about 20 years ago..... LOL
Love all of the storage ideas! I hate that we don’t have an Ikea, store here, or near, but when I travel, later this month, I will be sure to search the area(s), because I ABSOLUTELY love the as is section of the store u showed. 😍 so thanks for sharing! 💕 also, I see the calendar is still set on my birthday, 🥰I’m thinking about celebrating again! 😂🤣
LOL I did that just for you! :D I don't know why I kept forgetting to change it! LOL I noticed while editing, and just didn't have it in me to change it and re-record. Happy Birthday again! 🎉
Awwwww 🥰 ❤️ thank u! 💕
I have had a "hankern" to go to Ikea for a while now. The closest one is about four hours a way...now I think that's probably a good thing. I have not seen the As Is department before. Yes it is a very good thing.
LOL I am always tempted when I go.... thankfully, I am a very timid buyer! LOL
When I was staging our house to sell, I shopped online at IKEA first. Having the article number makes it easy to find the right item in store (i bought lots of plastic plants!), and I also can shop the prices easily (the similar plants were double the price at Target!) If the plants are in plain containers, I use the white plant vases to drop the plant into. Those are the container/cups a number of us use for pencils, etc. I see one on a shelf behind you!
Watch the sizes of the Alex drawers. The depth and width are unusual. I found that the GRÅSIDAN set is wonderfully sized for the Alex drawers-the largest is 11x11. And for only $9.99 they are a steal!
I also found great lap blankets (to "toss" at the end of the bed), a nice tray and espresso-sized cup sets for the end of the bed. All at unbelievable prices!
Isn't it nice that you can buy only the number of dishware and flatware that you need? No buying extras because the set only comes in one quantity.
Think of those tealight holders with M&Ms or Holiday candy in them!
YES!!! I love shopping by price too. GREAT idea for those little tea lights with candy!!!!
100k yay!
Getting closer!!!!! :D
Thanks for showing this. I've been looking online at Ikea, but the closest one to me is Atlanta. I'm planning my studio and want the Alex cabinets. I might just have to do a U-haul road trip. They have a lot more than I thought.
I’m so sad. I don’t have a store near me!
Come visit me! I’ll take you on a tour ;)
I want go see those slip covers so bad! Looking for a cover for my ektrop 2 plus 2!
That's what I used to have too..... I didn't see any of those. :( I ended up getting custom covers and they were great!!! comfort-works.com/en/ I did choose some that were on sale, think it was $400 for my couch and 2 chaise lounges I had. Felt expensive at the time, but so much cheaper than new furniture!!!!!
@@TheCraftyOrganizer wow.. up to 600! What I paid for sofa!
I’ll have to look online for new items. My IKEA is 3 1/2 hours away. Bummer.
Can you please do some IKEA storage dupes, as I am nowhere near an IKEA.
That would be fun! Let me think of what I could do! :D
IKEA has sold pillow covers for years.
Yes!!! Love that they are doing this with seasonal now too. 😊
Helpful ideas! ✌️🕉️🐞
Thanks, Friend!!!! 💜
I wish I did have a IKEA near me🤬
I'll keep sharing my tours with you, until they open one near you. 💜
New subscriber
Welcome!! Hope to see you again in the comments! :D
I love your video and all of the information about options. Could the cabinets be used in a kitchen for storage of pots and pans and small appliances??? Thank you for your help 😊. Valerie from Kansas
Yes, I would just use pine boards for the shelves so that they are stronger for the weight of the pots and pans.
@@TheCraftyOrganizer Thank you!!! 🤗💜
Hon that was amazing yes u gave 👍
Me ok ideas 👍 thank u!
How's your new Job GOING? Am 🙏💕you loving! It ❤️👍
Yes! I finished official training a few days ago - now I get to start actually working this weekend. :D
@@TheCraftyOrganizer am Soo happy 😊 for you yes !! Know u can do your thing!👍💪🌞keep smiling! Have a good weekend
And let us know in vadio how your new journey is going 👍💞!!
So many awesome ideas! Thank you so much.
Also, I’ve been experiencing my comments being deleted by TH-cam lately. I wonder what that’s about?
TH-cam does some wacky things sometimes!!!!! I respond to comments every day. Sometimes I'll log on and find comments from weeks ago suddenly pop up! No idea where they came from, or why they are just now posting to me! Sigh.....
Nice store tour.
I do visit my store here in Atlanta…..
We do not have a big section of reduced and discontinued items like yours……
I always look at the items not for what they are using or sold for……but how they could be hosed in my space.
As always very informative and lots of ideas you give .
🥰
My stores are pretty out of stock right now... but they are pretty good with the
discount items!
What are the shelves that you have behind you? That's what I am looking for.
I got these off Amazon…. They used to be inexpensive- the price has now TRIPLED!
Thanks for getting back to me. Tripled that's crazy.
Great video--I haven't gotten to Ikea in a while. New sub.
The emphasis on green may be due to the fact that a number of paint companies have indicated various shades of green as "color of the year."
NB: The gnome: In Bruno Bettelheim's "The Uses of Enchantment," he presents a psychoanalytic analysis of fairy-tale characters. The grotesque ones, such as gnomes and dwarves, indicate fear of aberrant sex. Grain of salt info, but they are creepy.
Welcome!!!! Happy to have you here - I think saw you comment a few days ago too... Love the info on the gnome!!!!! Yes.... creepy. LOL
@@TheCraftyOrganizer 😍
I do like IKEA products, but I get completely lost. It's like a nightmare of a maze.
If you are ever in Southern California.... I'll take you all around! I know those stores well. LOL
Can you purchase the as-is from IKEA online?? Or do you only get those in-store??
Sadly only in store...... And each store will have very different things!
@@TheCraftyOrganizer hmmm that stinks because I am for sure I don't have an Ikea near me!!!
🇬🇧🥰🎄
😘
🤲🏼💗🌸💕🌸💕🌸💕🌸💕🌸💕😃🙋🏼♀️
Thanks, Linda!!!! 😃
Movement was waaaay too much for me. Had to stop watching. 🤢
So sorry, my friend…
