My New Crafting Desk is Here!

I'm assembling my new crafting desk. This is IKEA TORNVIKEN Kitchen Island. Love it!

[@christinelatham5973]

Yana - I’ve looked at this several times and thought it would make an amazing craft table. Please report back to us after you’ve had time to use it and let us know what you think. I love the storage space!! Thanks for your amazing videos. I get so much inspiration from you.

[@cropnkathy]

That is awesome. Now if only we could all build in fast forward hyper speed. 😂 Enjoy the new space.

[@Yana.Smakula]

So true! 😂

[@KarenBliss-wu8en]

I wish I put together something that fast. Looks great, you will have to share how it is working for you.

Hello, Congratulations Cool 👍👏👏👏👏

[@Yana.Smakula]

Thank you 👍

[@kimsharabba5386]

Jiminy, you're a rock star putting that thing together. I had a VERY OLD Ikea Kitchen "island" that I have in my office. I love it. Yours is beautiful!

[@Yana.Smakula]

Aww, thank you! 🪛🔧🔨

[@suebouch4074]

Good for you! So impressed that you put it together without help! Thanks for sharing your new set up. Have a great day! 🙂

[@Yana.Smakula]

[@helengrunow5094]

Lovely!🌻thats a nice organised space you’ve created.💙💛

[@Yana.Smakula]

Yes! Thank you! I love this new desk 🔧🪛

[@cursivesmiles]

Extra storage…always a great thing!! Beautiful new desk; I hope there’s enough leg room for you. Where did you get those awesome clamp lights & the overhead rail system?

[@Yana.Smakula]

Yes! There is plenty room for legs on the other side. The lights and camera rail is from Neewer - amzn.to/40JQe9p

[@Via_Von]

I am SO happy for you sweet girl !!! That's awesomesauce!!!

[@Yana.Smakula]

Thank you so much!! 🔨🔧🪛

[@shellyp8731]

Wow! I can’t believe you did that all by yourself! 🎉Awesome! 🎉 So empowering! I’ve been thinking about a kitchen island instead of a desk. Is the island counter height , so you stand up to work? Or do you use a higher profile chair? Looks amazing in your space! I bet you wish it went as fast to put together as your video! 🥰

[@Yana.Smakula]

It is higher, yes, and perfect for standing. My chair is regular height, but if you are short and might need a higher one. I only sit when I color

[@shellyp8731]

@@Yana.Smakula Thanks for letting me know. That’s so helpful! 🩵

Love IKEA! Just redid my craft room with furniture from them. Can I ask what lighting setup you’re using?

[@blondecardsncrafts]

It looks fab, Yana! 🩷 Can I ask what lights you use, please 😁

[@Yana.Smakula]

thank you! Yes! These are by Neewer, here's a link - amzn.to/3QBHPQy

[@sue5547830]

nice new area to work, can I have your old desk ;)

[@Yana.Smakula]

come over and grab it :D

[@melissaedwards2332]

​@Yana.Smakula I agree! I would use.your old desk and add storage underneath! Lol😂

[@Dan-sb5sf]

This island is a standup desk, as in it is very tall especially for a short woman, right?

[@Yana.Smakula]

Well, it is tall, it isn't tall enough for me when I do detail work (coloring), I need to sit down on a tall stool to color, but I do like it for standing and crafting. I'm 172 cm tall, 5'7. How tall are you?
