Loved your craft space tour. Thank you for explaining the peg board attachment. I need something that doesn’t have to be attached to the wall, and think this may work for me, too. My craft space does triple duty (craft space, office, bedroom) and I need to maximize the space I have - I admire what you’ve done. Lots of wonderful ideas. I love Ikea, but get overwhelmed by everything in the store - your video created a great shopping list. Thank you for another great video!
I always try to pre-plan by going online first. I make lists, check them, double check them - try to visualize and later make a purchase. I too get overwhelmed, I'm a visual person and this pre-planning really helps me pick up the right things
We were just there to get this pegboard but unable to get a bracket that will affix to desk, only to the wall. I think the wall attachments will work fine for us.
Yana, I just LOVE LOVE LOVE your space and how you've organized it! Thank you SO much for sharing this--it's fantastic, and one of the most amazing creative spaces I've ever seen because it's efficient, it's attractive, and you have easy access to everything you need and use most. Awesome, chica! Absolutely awesome!
You produce so much with such a little area. Organizing is the key but I'm amazed at what all I have and don't do; 1/10th of what you do. So inspirational - it doesn't take money, space, things to create, just a love of art. Thanks for the tour.
I just found your channel and subscribed. You are amazingly creative and I absolutely love your craft corner. I agree with so many of the comments. One doesn’t need a huge space to produce beautiful cards...you are a testament to that Yana. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and your space. As this is several months old and you mentioned moving back to the Ukraine, I hope you and your loved ones are safe in these uncertain times. 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you so much, Sandy! I'm do glad to have you here as a new subscriber. We are safe, thank you. We are in the western Ukraine, away from all the action.
Thank you I love your craft corner and it just proves that you don't need a whole huge separate space as long as you keep things organized. Very cool looking!!!!!
Ya a, it is great of you to share your space with us. Your cards are so beautiful and you show us a way to make beauty in a craft corner...how is it that we sometimes think creativity is defined by the size of our space? You prove otherwise! Thanks again for your continual inspiration! 😀
Thank you, Yana for sharing your crafty space and inspiring others to create a space they love! I hope you are enjoying your new home. Hugs, dear crafty sister.
I love your setup. IKEA really does we crafty ladies proud with all their wonderful storage solutions and you’ve managed to fit so much into a compact area. I love the drawer unit you keep your stamps and dies in, that’s exactly what I need. Thanks so much for sharing your new craft corner with us, I’m looking forward to your next creations. 💖
I was just at IKEA today looking for craft room ideas! Your video was so helpful and when you mentioned Ukraine it put a smile on my face. We adopted our son Sasha, 3 years ago. He just celebrated his 17th birthday and we can’t imagine our lives without him. Hoping to get back to Ukraine for a visit, soon!
Yana, your space looks beautiful. Thank you for your video showing the Ikea Pegboard System. Since seeing your video I was able to tackle my desk for more room. Without your video I wouldn't have known about this system. Many many thanks to you.
Very helpful video Yana!! I've also moved countries and am yet to open my craft supplies. You have so much inspiration here to help me build up my new craft space.
TYFS! So nice to see a smaller area, particularly one part of a bigger area, so useful and organized. Just shows you can make a craft space if you put your mind do it. Nice job!
Thank you for sharing your space. I remarried six years ago and for the first time I have an actual craft room. Like your space, everything is within reach and organized to make it easy to find things. We have an Ikea that recently opened in my city and I loved seeing items you have purchased there. Gave me some good ideas.
It's so nice to have IKEA near by. We should have our very first one open in the capital of Ukraine by the end of the year, I can hardly wait! For these new things we took a 3 day road trip to Poland.
Dear Yana, thanks for showing us your craft corner and listing all the IKEA products you purchased for it. My family and I are moving into our new house in about 6 weeks and then I can create my first own craft room. Until now all my craft supplies are stored in 4 big SAMLA boxes from IKEA under our bench in the dining room. I only craft when my kids are in bed at night and then I have to put everything out of my boxes. When I am finished for the night until midnight, I have to put everything back in the boxes which takes me usually about 15 minutes. I am so looking forward to my craft room where I can store everything properly!
Great space Yana! Thanks for doing an update, I wondered how it would fit all together. I love how you've utilised the pegboard to add colour & organise. Looking forward to your next video!
Yippee Yana! I’m left handed too!!! I do the same, I keep the things I reach for the most to my left side. I definitely need to get the peg board from IKEA ! Love your craft corner, thanks for sharing it with us, hugs from a fellow lefty!!!
Fun to watch and some great ideas on how to store when you have a small space. On another note, super impressed that you could do a full video like that and just keep talking and presenting in one take 🤩🏅
Thanks for sharing your creative corner. I have a corner in my living room but without the proper furniture to create and store my supplies it just looks like a mess. I love IKEA furniture and the pieces you are using look ideal for crafters. You've given me great ideas for redoing my corner space. TY!
Thanks for sharing your space! I spent yesterday re-arranging my craftroom & have a IKEA trip planned for today. I'm happy you showed your pegboard system because that was on my list to look/ buy. Thanks again! Great video!
A great craft space, just goes to show if you are organized you don't need a huge room. The pegboard attached to the desk is a fantastic idea for this craft as there are so many small things to use but keep track of as well as to have at hand. Love that.
Thanks so much for the review. I have a room but it is very small. Love that tall cabinet and the peg board is perfect! So enjoyed all the details. Hope you are loving your new home.
What a great little work space. I have so many interests therefore I have many places in the house to store my lovelies! My main area for paper crafting is in my living room. so most of it is there. At least you can hide all yours in your bedroom! Great use of space - and I like your less is more. I love your ink stash! Loving the peg board, wish I had a place to put something like that. I have to get up for everything I want drag it out and then put it back. Thank you for sharing your space with us! Funny to see you in bare feet ...... the Barefoot Crafter! I'm always in bare feet! LOL! You work is amazing Yana - to gifted! Can't wait to see you in your work space again now that I know what is looks like!
I love your craft space! I use a lot of Ikea in my craft space also. Im so glad you use the peg board and I could see it in use I saw it and liked it but did not want anything else to attach on the wall and since you showed that it can attache to the disk I will give it a try. thank you.
First, I just want to say that you look super cute in your overalls and white t-shirt. your bare footed style completes the look! And I love the design of your craft corner! You have utilized your small space so. well. I took a few notes because I think your basic layout (flipped for me, a rightie)would be perfect for me. Those peg board units seem to be well designed. nice set up, Yana.
thanks, Ruth! These overalls are my favorite 😁 yes, I'm so happy with my current set up! I'm sure I'll change something along the way, maybe add something else, but it's just perfect for me right now 😊
Thanks SO much Yana for this helpful tour! You've set things up so well - everything at hand to create your amazing cards. I really appreciate you listing the Ikea products too - I'm looking at their pegboard and your system and explanation really helped me. And fab find on the Alex inserts! Thanks for sharing :)
You've accomplished a lot in a short time, Yana. Very nice craft space and well organized. I can't wait to see the art you create in your updated space. Thanks for sharing, it's always interesting to see how people organize their supplies.
Hello Yana, thank you so much for this video, you can't even imagine how very helpful it is for me. Love your board (so happy that it can be attached to the table and it must not be attached to the wall), and the way you are storing your stamps. Now I know, what to purchase for my craft corner in our new apartment.
Thanks that was useful. I wanted the grids for my desk but I have electric outlets that would be in the way. Was thinking about getting a standing table and could attach like you have. Good to get a better idea of which shelves/hooks would be useful.
Yana cute space. Just something to keep your eye on... The Alex shelve bottoms will tend to start sagging if you put too much heavy stuff in the drawer. I had to redo mine. Watch out with all those ink pads. Love the peg board.
Yana, thank you so much! This was super helpful because we are moving next week and i'm going from a craft room to a craft corner! Yours is great and so functional. Thanks for sharing!
Yana, I just love how you have things organized! The peg board on your desk is ideal for hanging your most used supplies! So cool!! Thanks for letting us have a look into your craft room...looking forward to seeing all the gorgeous cards you make ❤️
Wow Yana! You’ve made me rethink my craft work area. I too work out of a small space. It’s about the size of a closet and it’s filled to the rim! You’ve inspired me to take a very good look at what’s working for me and what I can do without. Although it’s difficult for me to get rid of anything cause... you know us crafters. We hoard everything! 😁 I’m going to use your cardstock make ready idea. It’s a time saver! I like how you’ve set everything up! Thank you for sharing your wonderful space with us! Hugs 🤗 all the way from Cypress, Texas! Sandi
I always believe that less is more, so I constantly purge and only stick to the must haves. It's a bit suffocating (to me) to have it all. At least not in a space this size
Thanks for sharing your cool small space. It's very bright and pretty. I wondered about why you store your most used things - stamping platform, trimmer, score board - in the very bottom drawer of the Alex? It seems harder to reach. Is that bottom drawer bigger (deeper?) than the other drawers? I think I would put the most used things higher and least used lower.
Thank you so much for the tour. I'm always looking for ways to organize my crafts and you have given me some great ideas. I don't have an Ikea close by but the next time I am in one I'm going to look for some of the same items. Love the drawer organizers.
I really enjoyed your tour. Motivates me. I've been stamping since 1994 and have lots of stuff including painting supplies for pastels. watercolor, acrylics and oil. So I have a bit of too much! You've done a super neat organizing of your supplies.
It is lovely to see someone with a compact space...those big craft rooms look beautiful but would involve a lot of walking and stamping. I was gifted a big desk with a return and while it held more it was less functional than the 160cm length table I purchased. I have my Gemini junior to my left, adore it....shoulder /arm issues ,so l Judy love it beside me and no cranking...best investment. I love those big drawers for the stamps....they are tempting as I use baskets, cane and plastic rectangles for now. But they work! Thanks.
Looks like I’ll be heading to ikea! Love the peg board idea. My system isn’t working for me, and I want the bigger Alex drawer for inks. Great ideas, thanks Yana!
Love how well you've taken advantage of your space. The Alex units with their shallow drawers are perfect for crafts. I wish I had the space for one. To do that we'd need to completely dismantle the ell shaped floor to ceiling open wall unit (from IKEA) & buy replacement units. Not in the budget right now.p, someday! Currently I organise my things in bins that serve as organised kits & just pull them out as needed.
I was a bit hesitant about this Alex unit, but it does fit s ton of things. And if needed I can move it under my desk to get it out of the sight and hide it
I love the peg board I must get one of those. I store my embossing powders and a lot of other things like that in a drawer I get the white round labels and emboss or color in the label and then stick it to the jar lid so I can see all the colours when I open the drawer. Also maybe you can split up your recollections cube storage and put one cube each on top of the expidit for little used items.
Thanks Yana for giving me a great ideal. I just moved and the only place I have to put me a craft area is in my kitchen. I'm only going to have a small space and you just gave me a great ideas.
Love how you have made a small space functional for your. Well done! Goes to show one does not need a huge craft room to create beautiful designs:) I am happy to hear that the peg board from IKEA can be attached to the desk too not necessarily the wall :) I have to get a few of them when I go home for my island although I am in Sweden right now near an IKEA store LOl!
Great space! I too like that you have a peg board that isn't attached to a wall. You have so much within arms length and yet it doesn't look cluttered or as if you are crowded out of your space. Thanks for sharing! I love IKEA :-) God Bless
I used to draw, make diy cards, anything that has to do with color pens and pretty card stocks. Then marriage and motherhood happened, I set my passion aside in order to prioritize my family. Now, I'm planning on doing it sgain, 23 yrs later. While I'm still saving and planning what type of die cutting machine and the different kinds of supplies and rools should I buy, I'm familiarizing myself or preparing myself by watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your passion thru your videos. A fan from the Philippines.
that's fabulous!, I'm like you, I don't have a craft room, I have a desk in the living room, could you provide a link to the pegboard? I couldn't quite catch the name of it
Great work comes out of your "L"-shaped craft room, loved the tour, so neat & organized, i have an entire unused bedroom & it looks like a hurricane came through it, lol, time to clean up, which you have inspired me to do, ty!!!🌹☀️😁 Stamping Up used to sell an ink caddy, it holds, i believe 50-60 ink pads, it maybe discontinued though, worth it to check it out.
I downsized into a porch which has so much more light, and arranged very similar, so I don’t have to keep getting up as I have replacement knees and hip. I’m very envious of all your ink pads. I’ve mainly got mini’s as I don’t do much inking per say. Thank you for sharing. X Ros
Hi Yana, I thought the SPRUTT unit you are using for your stamps was the answer to my prayers, but you say it is no longer available at IKEA! That is very sad! Could you give us the measurements for it? It looks perfect for many different types of stamps! Do you know if they make something or if they are planning to make something similar to replace it? Thank you so much for showing us your craft space! Your cards are always beautiful!
Love your space! I want to set up a corner as well in a spare room. Problem is my desk won't face the wall. So the pegboard... It can just be mounted onto the desk? No wall needed?
I just bought the large pegboard from ikea with all the hooks and such - went back and got two smaller ones lol - now to find room for my Alex unit lol!
A great looking space...I have a question about the desktop. Purchased the top that comes with the two legs that were made for the Expedite about five years ago but have part of the clam that "hooks to the top and bottom of the shelves of the Expedite (now using a Kallax instead). The problem is the drawers will not work with it. Did you buy your top more recently as I asked and they said they weren't selling the one I had any more. I know they now have the option to "create" your own desktop and mine is getting all scratched up and fought looking. Since the attachments that hook the desk to the Kallax are visible and in the way I'd like to replace so I can do the same. The top left of mine has the drawers (which can be used in both the Kallax and Expedits which I used for Dylusions paints, gesso etc and have another on the top right but really wanted to put drawers on the bottom as well but probably only the front one as I have a plastic drawer system that works well of paper clips and other miscellaneous office supplies that are nice to have handy but not too handy know what I mean? The struggle is real. I need the Alex drawers...can you advise what top you purchased because it has a nice, clean look to it. Also I have those white containers in the lower back but they're in my lower right and not quite practical in the front as it's too easy to put stuff in front. Love your setup. Thx
When I bought it years ago it came together with the Kallax, like a system. Sorry I don't know the name/code for it. But, it does prevent me from putting drawers or any kind of insert for that matter into the 2nd from the bottom cubes because of that top/desk attachment. The 1st from the bottom, 3rd and 4th can have attachments no problem.
This is great! Thanks for sharing! Maybe someone mentioned it already but if you want you could have a rod coming out from the top of the shelf on the left that your camera could be mounted on and then you wouldn’t have to have a tripod on your desk. Just a thought.
Thank you for sharing your awesome space. I have that wall system and I put my most used ribbon on that bar that you have some washi tape on in this video..
Gorgeous craft corner. I have the peg board but haven't put it up yet, really handy to know that it can be attached to the desk instead of the wall. Also I love your art-work, where is it from?
You're so cute - you can tell you spent a lot of time in the states - using the word "thingy"!! :) Hope that your return home is treating you spectacularly well!
Loved your craft space tour. Thank you for explaining the peg board attachment. I need something that doesn’t have to be attached to the wall, and think this may work for me, too. My craft space does triple duty (craft space, office, bedroom) and I need to maximize the space I have - I admire what you’ve done. Lots of wonderful ideas.

We were just there to get this pegboard but unable to get a bracket that will affix to desk, only to the wall. I think the wall attachments will work fine for us.
krrobu I have the peg board and it is really sturdy just clamped to the desk. I liked it so much I bought a second one.
I love I love I love your space. It's very functional and organised. I also love how you made it so bright and cheery
thank you, Shirleen! :)
Yana, I just LOVE LOVE LOVE your space and how you've organized it! Thank you SO much for sharing this--it's fantastic, and one of the most amazing creative spaces I've ever seen because it's efficient, it's attractive, and you have easy access to everything you need and use most.

Yeah, how are you doing today Mary?
I am left handed too! It is so nice to see a craft space set up for a lefty. I LOVE your cards as well.
Same here, how are you doing Ashley?

Yana Smakula I’m so glad to hear that Yana.❣️

Amazing, very workable use of space! So organized! Hope you are very happy in your new home and new craft corner!

Yes! They have so many awesome storage options that really do work well for a crafter!
The peg board is a must for a craft corner. You are so organized ! Thanks for sharing it. Greetings from Greece xx
Great job on organizing your craft supplies! Loved the way you did your corner! Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week.
I was just at IKEA today looking for craft room ideas! Your video was so helpful and when you mentioned Ukraine it put a smile on my face. We adopted our son Sasha, 3 years ago. He just celebrated his 17th birthday and we can’t imagine our lives without him. Hoping to get back to Ukraine for a visit, soon!
Loved your corner, it is so organized! No wonder you create such beautiful cards!
Awww, thank you 💖
Me too,it lovely, how are you doing?

@@Yana.Smakula Now I wish we had one in South Africa
Dear Yana, thanks for showing us your craft corner and listing all the IKEA products you purchased for it. My family and I are moving into our new house in about 6 weeks and then I can create my first own craft room. Until now all my craft supplies are stored in 4 big SAMLA boxes from IKEA under our bench in the dining room. I only craft when my kids are in bed at night and then I have to put everything out of my boxes. When I am finished for the night until midnight, I have to put everything back in the boxes which takes me usually about 15 minutes. I am so looking forward to my craft room where I can store everything properly!
Great space Yana! Thanks for doing an update, I wondered how it would fit all together. I love how you've utilised the pegboard to add colour & organise. Looking forward to your next video!
Me too, how are you doing?

How are you doing Ingrid, how are you ?
Super cute. You did great for working in such a small space. Gave me some great ideas
Me too, how are you doing?
It turned out so inspiring! I want to sit right down and make a mess. TFS.
Love your craft corner. Looks like a great place to create.

Hello Yana, thank you so much for this video, you can't even imagine how very helpful it is for me. Love your board (so happy that it can be attached to the table and it must not be attached to the wall), and the way you are storing your stamps. Now I know, what to purchase for my craft corner in our new apartment.
Beautiful space Yana!! I’m now excited to reorganize my craft space!! Keep creating!
Yeah, how are you doing?
I love your craft corner. I too have a corner space but in my garage. Thanks for sharing with us! 😊💗

Thanks! Love the ideas. Could you tell me which camera you use to record the videos? Thanks!
Beautiful space!! I love the idea of the L-shaped crafty space where verything is at your fingertips..Yes..saving time!!
Yana, I just love how you have things organized! The peg board on your desk is ideal for hanging your most used supplies! So cool!! Thanks for letting us have a look into your craft room...looking forward to seeing all the gorgeous cards you make ❤️
Hello Kim, how are you doing?
Great use of your space. I have a little corner in my bedroom too :) Yours is much more organized and prettier than mine. Love your space! Tfs
You have answered some of my questions. Thank you. I was looking into peg board and have attached to table and you’ve shown how it works. Thank you.
I love this system. Always updating my setup- so glad I got it
Yana, so nice to see you. Love your crafting space. Im still working on mine & this is so inspirational. Hugs Cindy
That peg board is a great solution! I waste the vertical space in front of my desk at the moment. Thanks for sharing Yana, love your crafty corner!
Thank you for showing your craft area, it helps since I also do not have a lot of room.
Glad it was helpful! I have since moved to a different area and it has more room, but I still try and keep it every limited and compact.
Wow Yana! You’ve made me rethink my craft work area. I too work out of a small space. It’s about the size of a closet and it’s filled to the rim! You’ve inspired me to take a very good look at what’s working for me and what I can do without. Although it’s difficult for me to get rid of anything cause... you know us crafters. We hoard everything! 😁 I’m going to use your cardstock make ready idea. It’s a time saver! I like how you’ve set everything up! Thank you for sharing your wonderful space with us! Hugs 🤗 all the way from Cypress, Texas! Sandi
I always believe that less is more, so I constantly purge and only stick to the must haves. It's a bit suffocating (to me) to have it all. At least not in a space this size
Thanks for sharing your cool small space. It's very bright and pretty. I wondered about why you store your most used things - stamping platform, trimmer, score board - in the very bottom drawer of the Alex? It seems harder to reach. Is that bottom drawer bigger (deeper?) than the other drawers? I think I would put the most used things higher and least used lower.
Thank you so much for the tour. I'm always looking for ways to organize my crafts and you have given me some great ideas. I don't have an Ikea close by but the next time I am in one I'm going to look for some of the same items. Love the drawer organizers.
It lovely, how are you doing?
I really enjoyed your tour. Motivates me. I've been stamping since 1994 and have lots of stuff including painting supplies for pastels. watercolor, acrylics and oil. So I have a bit of too much! You've done a super neat organizing of your supplies.
Me too, how are you doing?
Turned out very nicely. Have FUN
This is very simple and logical. I love it! I am keeping this video to refer back to as I buy more store and organization tools. Thank you so much.
Great Craft Space layout I also love your cards! I was wondering in this video what pallete of Daniel Smith watercolors is that? Thank you!
It is lovely to see someone with a compact space...those big craft rooms
look beautiful but would involve a lot of walking and stamping. I was gifted a big desk with a return and while it held more it was less functional than the 160cm length table I purchased. I have my Gemini junior to my left, adore it....shoulder /arm issues ,so l Judy love it beside me and no cranking...best investment. I love those big drawers for the stamps....they are tempting as I use baskets, cane and plastic rectangles for now. But they work! Thanks.
I love how you organice the wallhanging.
Looks like I’ll be heading to ikea! Love the peg board idea. My system isn’t working for me, and I want the bigger Alex drawer for inks. Great ideas, thanks Yana!
Me too, how are you doing?
Love how well you've taken advantage of your space. The Alex units with their shallow drawers are perfect for crafts. I wish I had the space for one. To do that we'd need to completely dismantle the ell shaped floor to ceiling open wall unit (from IKEA) & buy replacement units. Not in the budget right now.p, someday! Currently I organise my things in bins that serve as organised kits & just pull them out as needed.
I was a bit hesitant about this Alex unit, but it does fit s ton of things. And if needed I can move it under my desk to get it out of the sight and hide it
Great use of space. Love the pegboard!
Me too, how are you doing?
Love the space!! You are so good at making small spaces work!
Yeah they are...how are you doing?
I love the peg board I must get one of those. I store my embossing powders and a lot of other things like that in a drawer I get the white round labels and emboss or color in the label and then stick it to the jar lid so I can see all the colours when I open the drawer. Also maybe you can split up your recollections cube storage and put one cube each on top of the expidit for little used items.
Спасибо большое, Яна. Я тоже не распологаю большим пространством для моего хобби и поэтому ваше видео было очень полезным для меня. Еще раз спасибо!
Thanks Yana for giving me a great ideal. I just moved and the only place I have to put me a craft area is in my kitchen. I'm only going to have a small space and you just gave me a great ideas.
It lovely, how are you doing?
Great space!! Ilove that Spratt unit..... to bad it’s no longer available 😔😔😔
I know! I wish I could get 2-3 more for my craft room. Would be very handy
Great ideas! May have to make a trip to Ikea! You are so pretty!
Me too, how are you doing?
Love how you have made a small space functional for your. Well done! Goes to show one does not need a huge craft room to create beautiful designs:) I am happy to hear that the peg board from IKEA can be attached to the desk too not necessarily the wall :) I have to get a few of them when I go home for my island although I am in Sweden right now near an IKEA store LOl!
It’s a lovely and a very realistic craft corner which I am sure a lot of us can relate to .
Yeah, how are you doing?
Thanks so much for the tour, Yana! I've gotten a lot of ideas from you...especially the wall system...Thanks!
Me too, how are you doing?
I love the peg board idea on your desk, I’m going to get my husband on to something similar for my area
Great space! I too like that you have a peg board that isn't attached to a wall. You have so much within arms length and yet it doesn't look cluttered or as if you are crowded out of your space. Thanks for sharing! I love IKEA :-) God Bless
Yes! That's exactly why I wanted to get this board! Very functional and pretty, too
It lovely, how are you doing?
I used to draw, make diy cards, anything that has to do with color pens and pretty card stocks. Then marriage and motherhood happened, I set my passion aside in order to prioritize my family. Now, I'm planning on doing it sgain, 23 yrs later. While I'm still saving and planning what type of die cutting machine and the different kinds of supplies and rools should I buy, I'm familiarizing myself or preparing myself by watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your passion thru your videos. A fan from the Philippines.
that's fabulous!, I'm like you, I don't have a craft room, I have a desk in the living room, could you provide a link to the pegboard? I couldn't quite catch the name of it
Thanks! Check the description of my video for names and codes of all the pieces I have in my craft corner
Brilliant. Great tour and video for such a talented artist and paper crafter ❤️
Yeah, how are you doing?
Great work comes out of your "L"-shaped craft room, loved the tour, so neat & organized, i have an entire unused bedroom & it looks like a hurricane came through it, lol, time to clean up, which you have inspired me to do, ty!!!🌹☀️😁 Stamping Up used to sell an ink caddy, it holds, i believe 50-60 ink pads, it maybe discontinued though, worth it to check it out.
Love the new peg boards and containers, I’ve been looking for a way to store my Nuvo drops and embossing powders. Thanks for sharing.
I downsized into a porch which has so much more light, and arranged very similar, so I don’t have to keep getting up as I have replacement knees and hip. I’m very envious of all your ink pads. I’ve mainly got mini’s as I don’t do much inking per say. Thank you for sharing. X Ros
Having good light is very important. Glad you love your new space! ❤❤❤
Hi Yana, I thought the SPRUTT unit you are using for your stamps was the answer to my prayers, but you say it is no longer available at IKEA! That is very sad! Could you give us the measurements for it? It looks perfect for many different types of stamps! Do you know if they make something or if they are planning to make something similar to replace it? Thank you so much for showing us your craft space! Your cards are always beautiful!
Thanks for sharing - I hadn't seen the SKADIS peg board system - it's now on my IKEA shopping list.
it's super new. I first only saw it in white. Now I see it is available in kraft and black! So fun!
Love your space! I want to set up a corner as well in a spare room. Problem is my desk won't face the wall. So the pegboard... It can just be mounted onto the desk? No wall needed?
yes, just be mounted to the desk. And this way it can also be used on both sides (like a space divider)
Love your space so much, Yana! I love how minimalistic it is too. Thanks for some of the ideas! :D
I just bought the large pegboard from ikea with all the hooks and such - went back and got two smaller ones lol - now to find room for my Alex unit lol!
Yay! How awesome! I'm planning a trip to IKEA soon as I need to get a few more things to expand my craft corner.
A great looking space...I have a question about the desktop. Purchased the top that comes with the two legs that were made for the Expedite about five years ago but have part of the clam that "hooks to the top and bottom of the shelves of the Expedite (now using a Kallax instead). The problem is the drawers will not work with it. Did you buy your top more recently as I asked and they said they weren't selling the one I had any more. I know they now have the option to "create" your own desktop and mine is getting all scratched up and fought looking. Since the attachments that hook the desk to the Kallax are visible and in the way I'd like to replace so I can do the same. The top left of mine has the drawers (which can be used in both the Kallax and Expedits which I used for Dylusions paints, gesso etc and have another on the top right but really wanted to put drawers on the bottom as well but probably only the front one as I have a plastic drawer system that works well of paper clips and other miscellaneous office supplies that are nice to have handy but not too handy know what I mean? The struggle is real. I need the Alex drawers...can you advise what top you purchased because it has a nice, clean look to it. Also I have those white containers in the lower back but they're in my lower right and not quite practical in the front as it's too easy to put stuff in front. Love your setup. Thx
When I bought it years ago it came together with the Kallax, like a system. Sorry I don't know the name/code for it. But, it does prevent me from putting drawers or any kind of insert for that matter into the 2nd from the bottom cubes because of that top/desk attachment. The 1st from the bottom, 3rd and 4th can have attachments no problem.
This is great! Thanks for sharing! Maybe someone mentioned it already but if you want you could have a rod coming out from the top of the shelf on the left that your camera could be mounted on and then you wouldn’t have to have a tripod on your desk. Just a thought.
Thank you for sharing your awesome space. I have that wall system and I put my most used ribbon on that bar that you have some washi tape on in this video..
Thanks a million for sharing your craft room set up. Got some good ideas from you.
Gorgeous craft corner. I have the peg board but haven't put it up yet, really handy to know that it can be attached to the desk instead of the wall. Also I love your art-work, where is it from?
You're so cute - you can tell you spent a lot of time in the states - using the word "thingy"!! :)
Hope that your return home is treating you spectacularly well!
haha! I use it when I lack the proper word in my vocabulary :) works every time! thank you :)
Lovely craft corner, Yana! Thanks for showing us!
Love how your corner looks
Great crafty corner! :) I want that peg board too (I've been eyeing it...) but I don't have the space for it right now! But it very handy!
It lovely, how are you doing?
Amazing space! Love the way it's organized.
It lovely, how are you doing?
