Viv, does the Bonde hold 12x12 albums as well as cardstock? I think I may be getting the Ikea Expedit when I move. Love your room.

I'm trying to comvince Mum that we need a trip to ikea at the weekend- anyone know when bristol is open over this weekend? I am having the whopper of the shelf like that one above, and may try and salvage some of the rotted wood on my NEW cube storage (wasn't 12x12, cheap argos stuff) and pop it on my desk

I think these pictures show my scrappy corner enough.... the opposite corner is where I am sitting at my PC and the other two walls each have 6ft free-standing shelving units on which are books.,albums and boxes of embellishments, ribbons etc.

Nothing fancy from IKEA here, sadly....

Not tidy, exactly, but my living room now is, which is why I moved it all in here!

Yes Boo the Bonde does hold 12x12

(thats the one on its side).

The Expedit is the other shelf unit which is split into 4x4 cubes. Though you can get different sizes.

On the two bottam corners I have got lekman plastic square containers. These I store my ongoing projects (mini albums) and page packs. So they hold 12x12 paper fine too.

Have to say if I had known about the expedit when I had first got my scrapbooking room that would of been the one I would of got. The expedit is *definetly* easier to put together!!!!

And the desks I got from ikea too were really cheap as I got the top and then the legs to go with it (think one was under a £10 and the larger one not more than £20)

cheers viv you angel! Looks like they are open as normal for the weekend- not sure if I will go yet but me and the mother bear could do with a girly day out shopping!

oh im sooo jealous of al these rooms, boo hoo! I currently have a spare bedroom to myself for a craft room with an old kitchen and workbench in it, lol...lots of storage....but as im expecting in april i'm 'relocating' to the cupboard in my bedroom...then i will NEED to be organised..

.. have to say the best thing i did yesterday was organise my embellishments in to colour instead of by item... scrapped last night and it was sooo much easier to find and use things. Why didnt i think of that earlier, lol.

good luck sorting your room.

Don't have any pics handy but I have a square shelving unit much like the ikea one, two six drawer rolling narrow (but wide) storage units from Lidl and a return desk from MFI. One return has my pc and other computer bits, the other return is from my scrapping. I love the glass because it doesn't impose too much on the small room and is scrubbable and doesn't stain!

**Boo** · 29-12-2006, 09:22 PM

Thanks Viv.

As it will probably be my daughters constructing the units, I will tell them Expedit it is.

Love those plastic storage boxes to fit in the cubes too. They will hide a multitude of sins. Thanks for sharing.

Well that's a shame, it was a great reference for planning a scrap space. Will need to tell MA......sorry ladies

Viv your room is GORGE! V jealous

Here is mine - I have the cabinet and the baskets to the side - the shelves are a mixture of mine and OH's! Hence the mess they're in!

Also please ignore the mess the cabinet is in inside! That's a new year job of sorting!

The cabinet is an IKEA Effectiv one - its a modular jobbie, with a filing cabinet underneath. The filing cabinet takes A4 suspension files, and ours is full of household paperwork at the mo, but i intend to use it for papers eventually.
The third piccie is of some 12 by 12 cardstock in one of the suspension files so you can see what it looks like - it fits fine - although obviously its a bit bigger than the size it should take, the drawer closes fine.

Hope this helps with your IKEA purchases Boo!
