The Swedish Store

[MummyNaomi]

MummyNaomi- that's a lot! how do you use the 4x2 in the entry?

I'll have to look at the GORM system too. We'll be selling the garden shed, as it takes up too much room, so I want to be able to store things off the floor in the garage.

Yes, yes its a lot, but um, well, someone has to contribute to IKEAs profits, it may as well be me
The Entry 4x2 is just actually on the ground (no legs) and we use the bottom row for shoes and bags (not heaps otherwise it looks way too untidy), and the top row has books and photo's. Then on top we have a few ornaments and a mirror in the entry way. Its a nice neat piece thats useful as you enter the house..

I just realised we have the IKEA hat rack for our hats and coats next to it, gosh, I should do a stocktake of all the products I have! I'm a little mad really, but I have an obsession with decorating and storage!

And yep, totally agree with WYSIWYG, we always time a visit with lunch for Meatballs too

A photo of the Gorm so you can see how it works and how awesome it is for storage! (The cute kid is probably the only thing we didn't bring home from IKEA)

Ooh. If you're doing photos, can you do the entry Expedit too?

Wysiwyg - I was thinking of cutting out cardboard to fit the Expedit square, then cutting a small semicircle that I could hook my finger into to take it out. Or sticking a cloth lever on at the top, but thought that may be over engineering it. Once I learn how to use Spoonflower, I can then design fabrics for it instead.

We loved that bed Nay! DH wants to build something similar for DS.

As does DS - OP he thinks its a cubby house bed! Once he is old enough and we turn it up the other way so its a mini bunk I reckon he'll pee his pants with excitement!! LOL

Ooh. If you're doing photos, can you do the entry Expedit too?

Just for your L&B https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...2316-entry.jpg

Thanks Naomi - that's exactly what I want to do. I've been looking at tables, but they all cost more.

Does anyone have the Stuva bench? It's kids furniture, but I was thinking of using it as a storage bench. Would it take the weight of an adult sitting on it? I was thinking of getting some foam cut to size, then covering to make a cushion. I've looked at ottomans, but they're all expensive too.

I'm really trying to get as much as I can for as little as possible
