For those of you who are concerned/complaining about the speed... Please take some accountability, go to the Settings in the top right hand corner. Those three dots in the top right-hand corner when you pause the video, touch those with your Mouse if you're at a desktop or laptop or if you're on your mobile device touch it with your finger or stylus. You will see approximately 3 lines down something that says playback speed. Most likely next to playback speed it will say normal. If you touch one of the three options above normal you'll be able to slow down your video to a speed that helps you not feel motion sickness. This creative crafter put a lot of time and effort into her video. Whilst having in the back of her head that she still had to pick up her kiddos within a reasonable amount of time. We should all be kinder and more grateful. Constructive criticism is necessary for growth and so is personal accountability. Change the settings and enjoy the video at a rate that is comfortable for you. :-)
Good Heavens, IKEA SHOULD be paying you for this! What a wonderful showcase of their store from a Crafters viewpoint. We just had a brand new and much anticipated IKEA open here in my part of Virginia and NOW I actually WANT to go there.. LOL! Thank you for a wonderful guide.
I had zero issues with your camera work and really enjoyed the tour. I want it all! And they should most definitely be sponsoring you. Have you pursued this?
@@ScrappyWife it seems like, a lot of people are ungrateful. They don't realize how many hours you invested into this video. If they haven't been to and Ikea, they don't realize that just going there is an all-day process LOL even if it's only 10 minutes from your home. Not to mention the hours of conceptualizing your video, filming it and editing. I thought it was fine and at an appropriate speed. We also have the option to slow down our speed of watching in the settings. Most people that are used to CZcams understand that. Unfortunately what you are experiencing in the comment section is pack mentality. One person commented and it just caught on like wildfire and the truth is it's not even that's serious. I've been so frustrated reading these comments and I just wanted you to know I am grateful and appreciative that you did this video. It gave me a ton of great ideas! Rest assured that there are many viewers here that feel the same way I do. Many blessings to you :-)
@@evolvewithmonettellc not a lack of gratitude. An honest statment of how she could improve her filming. And since she clearly has ideas she wants to share, making them more accessible can only help.
Down2This yes but the criticism can be said in a constructive helpful way or a rude entitled way. Unfortunately the vast majority of people commenting on the camera work have chosen the rude "it's all about me way". Unfortunately when one person posts a rude comment it sometimes gives others reading that it is ok for them to be rude too. I think that is the "pack mentality " referred to here. There have been a few comments that have been positive and give really good advice on how to fix some of the camera work issues. I have enjoyed reading those.
I understand your speedy tour. My daughter told me the store is huge & you only have 1 1/2 hour of free child care . I am sure they had fun too. But you did a good job in the amount of time you filmed.
Yesterday, I drove 2 hours from my home to go to an IKEA. The ideas that popped out of my head were crazy! I might've spent a bit more than I planned lol, this is such a fun and cool place (and inexpensive) and I hope to take a trip again next month!
Thanks for some more ideas. I just got an IKEA that opened near me in April. The 1st thing I bought was the Alex. Never had an IKEA near me so it was a lot to take in. But,, I got over it. Lol I do have another suggestion. The small shelves/hutch 4 shelf that is in the kids desk area, it has a green back. It fits perfectly on the big Alex with wheels. The green back part I put it backwards so the white side shows. It hold ink pads and markers with all of their accessories. And the white trash baskets are a must-have. My trimmers are in 1, paper in another. Non vinal rolls in 1 hanging on a cabinet. The vinal rolls is in the plastic bag keeper. Also in the office area, there are large plastic mats . They are awesome. I've used them under messy projects. Paint and glue wipes off like magic. I saw a display in a kitchen display with kid crafts. They are thin. Easy to store.
OMG, What a FABULOUS FIELD TRIP! LOVED IT SO MUCH! So many WONDERFUL PRODUCTS for ALL CRAFTERS & Multiple uses, too! So appreciated your “tips/thoughts” throughout the tour of Ikea! TFS and HAPPY CREATIN’ n’ SHOPPIN’ n’ CRAFTIN’! :-))
If you have a cutting machine such as a Silhouette, they used to do 15 or 16 inch square table mats. Make them sticky with some repositionable glue, they make great machine cutting mats - and were only 99c in Spain, probably around a dollar in the USA.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video, it has been a long time since I visited IKEA. All of the storage in my craft and sewing room is from IKEA but I bought it second hand which saved me a fortune. Your tour showed me some things I could use especially the peg boards so I think it is time I visited the store again. I'm in The UK so some items might not be available here but there is bound to be lots I can use. Thanks for making this video, great inspiration xx
I have had an Expedit (now tweaked and called Kallax) unit (4 x 4) and ( 2 x 2) with attached table for ten years. It is the best purchase I ever made for my studio area. I also have Alex drawers that I love so much! The Raskog cart is also pretty spiffy! If I could give any crafter/artist advice it would be GO to Ikea for your items! Thanks for the video!!
I very much appreciate your Ikea tour. They have so many products that would be really helpful throughout our homes and some that would be terrific in our RV. Storage is an enormous challenge in those traveling homes. I have been in Ikea a couple of times and just felt overwhelmed by the experience. Your video has given me some new ideas and areas to search through, so I will be going back soon. Thanks for sharing your ideas and perspectives, they were quite helpful.
Thanks for the video! Being Swedish it is fun to watch something so mundane as a trip to Ikea through a crafters eyes! It always cracks me up hearing Råskog being pronounced in different languages😉. Next time I go there I will look a bit closer what could be used in my craft room. A good advice is if you find anything you like storagewise buy enough of it at once, Ikea change stuff a lot and next year the boxes you loved are gone😉!
WOW. I've been going to IKEA for almost 2 decades (though not much recently) and i have TOTALLY been under-utilizing Ikea! I got some great ideas! thanks :)
JUST IN TIME! I’m moving into a larger craft room, my son has left his large IKEA corner desk in the room. Thank you for the EXCELLENT tour and idea tips , extremely helpful for me .👍👍👍
Great video, so much fun seeing all that they have. I didn’t know about the As Is Area. I’m sooo excited to get back there again. Thanks for sharing 😊💕
Really great way to help train your eye to look at things for storage. I admit I get completely overwhelmed when I go into an Ikea and this was a good way to prioritize and visually "edit" what I need. 👍🏽
Just spent the afternoon with my hubby at IKEA yesterday picking up some more organizational items. One of his finds, was the over-the-cabinet-door storage that can be wall mounted with one of the bar things from the kitchen area. I plan to use it to hold my paper trimmer, scoring board, and large rulers. Great ideas.
Thank you for sharing. I had never been to Ikea but its probably for the best or I would have to rob bank to buy everything I liked lol. And don't listen to the "critics" you made an effort to share something and some people are just unappreciative. Have a great day! ❤

Which doesn't make any sense, especially when they each have the option to slow the video down in the settings. I don't think they realize how much work it takes to film and edit.. It's literally hours of time that she's invested into this. And I am grateful.
ONCE YOU GET IN THERE THEY TRAP You and you can't get out until you are about to have a panic attack. There is nothing in there that is worth the maze design created in the store to keep you walking in circles for hours. It's the worst. You are not missing a thing. You can buy this stuff online for same price, free shipping or just cheaper. I am a real crafter. I like to spend my time crafting. I dont care what my craft room looks like, it's me. I am not going to go shopping on purpose to find out what anybody has to improve my craft room.. I prefer to spend my time crafting. I might have a huge beautiful coffee cup (which was a gift) for my crochet hooks but it's me I love it and it matches nothing LOL.
@@louisedery1049 I don't have. Craftroom and for that reason I would like to get some of the Alex shelves I think they are called so I could keep my stuff in categories and neatly organized.
Tfs. I have been interested in Ikea storage, as I see it in peoples craft rooms but they have soooooo much for storage. You really did help me get off my bun and go there unfortunately is tooooooo far away to go often, so I need to be really organized BEFORE I go. Thanks again,
@Amy’s Krazy Crafting - And you will never get your craft room organized or remotely finished because the focus is on everything but a useful and usable craft room. Do something well and it will not be cookie cutter. Worry about cookie cutter, never have cookies
Great ideas ☺️ In Jan, 2014, we drove an hour to our nearest IKEA, in a snowstorm, to furnish my tiny sewing room. It was so easy to customize a table/legs/drawers, along with 3 expedit units to fit a very small space. I’ve since moved into a larger room, with closet space, but the IKEA still serves me well....minus a couple of expedit cubby units that my daughter needed when she got married. 😂😂 Hoping IKEA builds closer to me soon 👍
From the comments, it looks like I'm in the minority of enjoying how quickly you went through the store. Maybe you should edit your 'about' section to suggest that people click on the settings icon to slow down the playback speed. I know I'll be doing that on a rewatch to take a closer look at some of the products that looked really interesting to me. No Ikea's near me and it would mean a long drive and a hotel stay to shop there but you can get lots of their things online too. Thank you for the great tour!
You totally gave away all my finds! But I hadn’t seen the cart yet! Awesome. I just repurposed cabinets that have been in my studio space, my living room, my garage and are now back in my new studio. Only IKEA! Thanks!
As a Swede I find it facinating that IKEA is basically all over the world, but feeling for you guys who have to pronounciate what must seem like very exotic words and names! 😆 You know, us Swedes actually know what they mean ! 🙃😂 Anyway, thanks for the tour - always good to remember to check Ikea for org hacks.
First time finding your videos. Love your craft room looks like it set up pretty good & looks organized. Loved the tour my daughter the super crafty lady just went through IKEA last week & became a member & said she loves it but her husband cringed to think she would spend more money. LOL But she makes good money with her crafts she just needs a much bigger room right now she has the smallest bedroom full & another bedroom not all the way full yet. But these pieces of furniture would really help her organize. I think I have also found a wonderful store to go to for organization items. Once I get back into a house instead of my small apt I will be setting up a great craft room. Thank you Thank you so much
I have been collecting Ikea furniture since they opened here in 1986. We must have at least 40 Billy book cases in the house (lots of books, AND craft supplies). On the Billies in the craft room I use the BINZ clear kitchen bins that can stack - they come in all kinds of sizes. The CD shelf unit you talked about - I have one to store all my Sizzix Bigz dies. The regular standard size fits perfectly. My crafting desk is a pine kitchen table we picked up for a great price in 1989. Yes, I can attest to both the storage possibilities (and the crafting materials!) that Ikea has to offer.
I agree with everything you said with one exception. If there is a crafter who ever complained that all Ikea craft rooms look the same, then he or she isn’t a crafter. For Pete’s sake, it’s a blank canvas, do something with it! Sponge paint, decoupage beautiful napkins or use all your scraps, alcohol ink the melamine, use your stencils, graffiti spray paint, ROYGBIV 360 around the room, go sedate or go crazy but there’s no limits and I mean none. Hardware stores have beautiful molding strips with flourishes, flowers, carved bead trim... apply these to the fronts of shelves and styles. Stain them, antique them, make them match your home’s motif. Add cornices to the top corners of shelve units with beefier top crown molding. Endless opportunities, so endless you could keep customizing so long you’d never make another card or layout, lol.
Great tips same as you I love Ikea, husband hates it! But I am a crafter and I love craft and storage ideas! Plenty to think about here! Thank you for a great video!
Great video for the anyone who hasn’t been an IKEA shopper for awhile. There are several companies that make storage modules for paper, ink pads, markers, etc specifically designed for use with the IKEA Kallax and Alex units. I have lots of IKEA.
Great tour! I also live 10 minutes from Ikea, & always come home with way more than I had planned on buying. But everything does get used. I'm reorganizing my craft room/office, so it's time for another trip. TFS!
Well, just as I resolve to cut back on my crafting budget, I come across this. I saw several items that would be a huge help in my craft room. Thanks for the tour and commentary.
Thank you. It’s a five hour drive for me. I’ve been working on my shopping list for next weekends trip for a few weeks now and i saw things I didn’t know about.
I love Ikea, I have to go to Edinburgh or Glasgow for my nearest store. I had to laugh about the "escaping mummy" expression, I remember that feeling well!
I have never been to an IKEA- I think it is 4 or 5 hours to the closest one. I kept wishing you would slow down a little, so I could see without feeling dizzy. It is probably a good thing I don't live near one--Thanks for sharing!
I love all your ideas! I hadn't thought of some of them! I have one more space to fill in my room, I think I"m going back for that wood topped cart! Thanks!
Awesome. You packed a lot in this video. Since I'm a crafter with mobility issues you really saved me the physical exhaustion, while showing me things I can list and just pick up. Thanks
Wow! What a great video. I love IKEA but I am 4 hours away from it. I took a road trip last fall to get new Alex units for my craft room. Love IKEA! Thanks for doing this video. It has helped me with more ideas for my craft room.
Hi Elisa, how are you? I loved watching this video. You are blessed having an IKEA near you. Your craft room is Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Take care.
I love IKEA! They were going to open one ear me, but then changed their minds. 😢 The nearest store is 3 hours away. I have to order from them online when I want something. I used to live near the Philadelphia store and couldn’t shop there enough. lol. I have 2 Raskogs, and my daughter’s each have one...great for cleaning supplies and planner/journal supplies. Thanks for the tour. Time to take a closer look at my catalog.
I have quite a few of the items you showed from Ikea. Lots of ideas there if you think outside the box. I do quilting, sewing and embroidery so storage is very important to keeping me organized.
Ikea is my favourite day out. My work area is plain wooden shelving with one shelf as a work bench. My husband uses his shelving for his large vinyl record collection. But don't forget the damaged goods section as not all items have actual damage.
Awesome tour, Elisa! Our closest Ikea was over 2 hours away, but I just found out there is a slightly closer one. Still a long ways (over 100 miles), but I am excited! My mom & I are planning our own "field trip" there, hopefully soon. I'm reorganizing the space along one wall of my craft room, and need different storage than what I have. I've decided on a combination of purchased pieces (ready to assemble) and scratch-built shelving (that I can make myself), so I get exactly what I want/need. Still in the planning stages, but hopefully I'll be ready to shop 'til I drop soon! LOL Thank you for sharing this. Have a wonderful day! :)
I've never been to an Ikea or even bought anything from there. I found I had to go into settings and slow the video down so much and then I couldn't understand what you were saying, but no big deal, I just put CC on. I could put it on 25, and that was nearly too fast. Ugh. I am actual nauseous.... gotta go lie down for at least an hour. Loved the information on the video. Please know, I only brought this up in case you make any more "speedy" videos, and that I really do appreciate this video. I saw much more this way than if I were at the store in person. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the great video! IKEA is definitely my favorite shopping place & one just opened up about 30 minutes from me! I was just there in April & I can't believe how much new stuff there is already!
Min. 5:14 I too love the black and white shelving and they way they're placed! Perfect for a smaller office, makes smart use of a small space without giving up on style!
Ooooh..... I’ve never been to an Ikea yet, but now I must go to the one that opened a year ago and only 40 mins. away. I had no idea they had so much interesting stuff!
For all the people who took the time to complain about getting motion sick, at the top right of the video there are three dots click on them.You will see speed click on that and get speed options. You then have to mute the video or she will sound slurred.
I don't think advising a videographer to slow down should be taken offensively If you've never experienced it, you can't understand. Alsi, if you slow the bideo down, the soundtrack slows down. When people post videos, they need yo not take things personally, but as a way to improve the video experience for viewers. Especially since the info was submitted by multiple people. Take it as helpful information, not as a shot against them.
I provided my feedback to help. I adore feedback, especially negative ones because it tells me the person is actually paying attention enough to have an issue but kind enough to tell me so I can improve. I did slow it down but then the verbal info is compromised. I think she was sweet enough to reply "noted" so its a win win. We are artists trying to help other artists. Nothing sinister about it.
I only have a small space for crafting and it's pretty much exclusively Ikea desk, drawers and storage! Their products are so cheap and good quality too. My desk is quit a few years old and in great condition. I can't wait to get a craft room I'm going to Ikea the hell out of it! Great video with great tips. TFS! Xxx
Not gonna lie I’m loving how the oak shelf for compact areas is still in ikea cause I bought one half as I had a small room at first but knowing the rest of the set is still there makes me happy to know I can keep that modern wood aesthetic
Love this! There’s an IKEA about 90 miles from me. Pretty sure I need to go now! 😂 ps- your video is just great because it shows that you were really there. That’s what videos are for!
ThankU for this Video. I've never been to IKEA. Now I have a peek. If the Weather wasn't so bad today, I would take a trip out there. HavA Wonderful & Blessed Day!😁
I just loved going through IKEA with you and meeting your kids. I had no idea that so many items for me were even there. I am now one of your new subbie, thumbs up, and hit the bell.
Great video, well presented. Some of the price tags I didn't catch.. If you do this again, make sure you hit those up in the viewfinder for us Frugal gals!
thanks for the tour. we don't have an IKEA here in Corning NY, so it is difficult to imagine what 'could be' in our craft rooms. now we have a better place to start when we go to the website.
For those of you who are concerned/complaining about the speed... Please take some accountability, go to the Settings in the top right hand corner.

The speech slows down too. Weird.
I am not caring about looking the same. I want clean, organized and white everywhere. Excited to see your video!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Yay! Glad it helped!
The real problem with IKEA is that once you get on, you can’t get out. Like a maze from the twilight zone.
Haha, they do design it to keep you in!
This is funny but true. My sister told me just follow the arrows onnthe floor. IT WORKS 🤣🤣🤣.
There are short cut doors if you look around for them 🙋🏽♀️👍🏽
Yes, that is a really big problem, to me. There's no easy in and out. Hostaged.
I have a friend who calls it the Blue Palace of Satan.

In Jan, 2014, we drove an hour to our nearest IKEA, in a snowstorm, to furnish my tiny sewing room. It was so easy to customize a table/legs/drawers, along with 3 expedit units to fit a very small space. I’ve since moved into a larger room, with closet space, but the IKEA still serves me well....minus a couple of expedit cubby units that my daughter needed when she got married. 😂😂 Hoping IKEA builds closer to me soon 👍
songbird857 you can always shop online and have it delivered to you. Not as much fun as going to the store, but you can still get what you need.
👍🏻
From the comments, it looks like I'm in the minority of enjoying how quickly you went through the store. Maybe you should edit your 'about' section to suggest that people click on the settings icon to slow down the playback speed. I know I'll be doing that on a rewatch to take a closer look at some of the products that looked really interesting to me. No Ikea's near me and it would mean a long drive and a hotel stay to shop there but you can get lots of their things online too. Thank you for the great tour!
I got motion sickness watching it.. lol
@@brookeshull7820 me too! Great video... but woooow... i'm so dizzy now!
👍🏻
I wish Ikea had a crafters (space) section showing off everything, you have given me some good ideas and I was just at Ikea yesterday.
Yup--I wish they had great EXPEDIT boxes for crafting/scrapbooking. They don't really have any good options for paper storage...
It is crazy if they don't. So many crafters make their rooms from there. Never been, but I was thinking the same thing when she was showing the video
That would be so cool!
You totally gave away all my finds! But I hadn’t seen the cart yet! Awesome. I just repurposed cabinets that have been in my studio space, my living room, my garage and are now back in my new studio. Only IKEA! Thanks!
Haha, I love that! IKEA can be used anywhere!
As a Swede I find it facinating that IKEA is basically all over the world, but feeling for you guys who have to pronounciate what must seem like very exotic words and names! 😆 You know, us Swedes actually know what they mean ! 🙃😂 Anyway, thanks for the tour - always good to remember to check Ikea for org hacks.
Haha, yes the names are definitely challenging for us! 😂
First time finding your videos. Love your craft room looks like it set up pretty good & looks organized. Loved the tour my daughter the super crafty lady just went through IKEA last week & became a member & said she loves it but her husband cringed to think she would spend more money. LOL But she makes good money with her crafts she just needs a much bigger room right now she has the smallest bedroom full & another bedroom not all the way full yet. But these pieces of furniture would really help her organize. I think I have also found a wonderful store to go to for organization items. Once I get back into a house instead of my small apt I will be setting up a great craft room. Thank you Thank you so much
💜💜💜
I have never been to an IKEA! I see a trip in my future. TY!
Have a fun time!
Oh great now I have to go to ikea today. Lol needed some planting containers anyway. Thanks for the video!
💜💜💜
I have been collecting Ikea furniture since they opened here in 1986. We must have at least 40 Billy book cases in the house (lots of books, AND craft supplies). On the Billies in the craft room I use the BINZ clear kitchen bins that can stack - they come in all kinds of sizes. The CD shelf unit you talked about - I have one to store all my Sizzix Bigz dies. The regular standard size fits perfectly. My crafting desk is a pine kitchen table we picked up for a great price in 1989. Yes, I can attest to both the storage possibilities (and the crafting materials!) that Ikea has to offer.
I agree with everything you said with one exception.
If there is a crafter who ever complained that all Ikea craft rooms look the same, then he or she isn’t a crafter. For Pete’s sake, it’s a blank canvas, do something with it!
Sponge paint, decoupage beautiful napkins or use all your scraps, alcohol ink the melamine, use your stencils, graffiti spray paint, ROYGBIV 360 around the room, go sedate or go crazy but there’s no limits and I mean none.
Hardware stores have beautiful molding strips with flourishes, flowers, carved bead trim... apply these to the fronts of shelves and styles. Stain them, antique them, make them match your home’s motif. Add cornices to the top corners of shelve units with beefier top crown molding.
Endless opportunities, so endless you could keep customizing so long you’d never make another card or layout, lol.
I agree, definitely a blank canvas!!!
Anita, totally agree! People who complain about IKEA just don't have an imagination. I LOVE them.
Great tips same as you I love Ikea, husband hates it! But I am a crafter and I love craft and storage ideas! Plenty to think about here! Thank you for a great video!
💜💜💜
Craft room goals !!! 🤗🤗🤗 It's so organized. I love it!
💕💕💕
That’s actually not a wasted basket, it’s a plastic bag holder and I love it too!!! Great tour- thanks so much for the insights.
Thanks for watching!
Oh I love IKEA, from Singapore, to New York, to Las Vegas, I just love love love!!!!
Me too!
Great video for the anyone who hasn’t been an IKEA shopper for awhile. There are several companies that make storage modules for paper, ink pads, markers, etc specifically designed for use with the IKEA Kallax and Alex units. I have lots of IKEA.
So true! Lots of possibilities
Great tour! I also live 10 minutes from Ikea, & always come home with way more than I had planned on buying. But everything does get used. I'm reorganizing my craft room/office, so it's time for another trip. TFS!
I love how there are always new things to discover at IKEA!
Well, just as I resolve to cut back on my crafting budget, I come across this. I saw several items that would be a huge help in my craft room. Thanks for the tour and commentary.
Haha, we’ve all been there! Thanks for watching 💕
Wow! I thought I knew everything about IKEA!
Thank you, thank you, thank you❣
👍🏻
Was just thinking about using IKEA as I set up a crafty/office space in my small apartment. great video chock full of ideas.TFS!!
Thank you!!!
Thank you. It’s a five hour drive for me. I’ve been working on my shopping list for next weekends trip for a few weeks now and i saw things I didn’t know about.
It is always good to plan ahead!
I love Ikea, I have to go to Edinburgh or Glasgow for my nearest store. I had to laugh about the "escaping mummy" expression, I remember that feeling well!
😊
Wow,thanks for taking the time. This will help alot!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
some fab ideas for storage already got my shopping list ready
Great!!
IKEA is amazing and your boys are adorable!
Thank you!
Wow! Ikea should put you on their payroll. Excellent video.
I would kinda love to work there if for nothing else but the discount 😂
I have never been to an IKEA- I think it is 4 or 5 hours to the closest one. I kept wishing you would slow down a little, so I could see without feeling dizzy. It is probably a good thing I don't live near one--Thanks for sharing!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love all your ideas! I hadn't thought of some of them! I have one more space to fill in my room, I think I"m going back for that wood topped cart! Thanks!
😊
Awesome. You packed a lot in this video. Since I'm a crafter with mobility issues you really saved me the physical exhaustion, while showing me things I can list and just pick up. Thanks
I've heard about IKEA but have never gone. Thank you for your thorough video! Looking forward to checking it out!
Awesome!
What a great video! Best one I’ve seen. Thank you so much.
Thank you for the kind words! 😊
I don't live within 200 miles of IKEA and have always wanted to visit one of them. Thanks so much! Now I'm envious!
They are super fun. The good news is that other stores like Target and Walmart are now starting to carry some similar functional pieces.
@@ScrappyWifeMichaels, too!
Wow! What a great video. I love IKEA but I am 4 hours away from it. I took a road trip last fall to get new Alex units for my craft room. Love IKEA! Thanks for doing this video. It has helped me with more ideas for my craft room.
Thanks!
Great video. Inspired to head to IKEA today. Tfs.
Have fun shopping!
A Mom that has just escaped!!! Love it!!!
Hi Elisa, how are you? I loved watching this video. You are blessed having an IKEA near you. Your craft room is Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Thanks!
I love IKEA! They were going to open one ear me, but then changed their minds. 😢 The nearest store is 3 hours away. I have to order from them online when I want something. I used to live near the Philadelphia store and couldn’t shop there enough. lol. I have 2 Raskogs, and my daughter’s each have one...great for cleaning supplies and planner/journal supplies. Thanks for the tour. Time to take a closer look at my catalog.
Bummer I live in the area but the Plymouth meeting one is the one I go to
I love IKEA!!!! Thank you for making this. I love your craft room.
Thank you 😊
Looks like so much fun! I would love to go there.
It is a fun place to visit!
I have quite a few of the items you showed from Ikea. Lots of ideas there if you think outside the box. I do quilting, sewing and embroidery so storage is very important to keeping me organized.
Those are hobbies that definitely require organization...tons of small bits and pieces!
This is awesome! I have an IKEA near me but I rarely go. Im going to plan a "day at IKEA".
Sometimes it takes a day just to take it all in!
Ikea is my favourite day out. My work area is plain wooden shelving with one shelf as a work bench. My husband uses his shelving for his large vinyl record collection. But don't forget the damaged goods section as not all items have actual damage.
It is such a fun outing. And yes, the damaged goods section is always a great place to find deals!
I love IKEA and thank you for showing this great ideas for storage and more
Thanks for checking out the video!
I see the word IKEA and I’m hooked!
Awesome tour, Elisa! Our closest Ikea was over 2 hours away, but I just found out there is a slightly closer one. Still a long ways (over 100 miles), but I am excited! My mom & I are planning our own "field trip" there, hopefully soon. I'm reorganizing the space along one wall of my craft room, and need different storage than what I have. I've decided on a combination of purchased pieces (ready to assemble) and scratch-built shelving (that I can make myself), so I get exactly what I want/need. Still in the planning stages, but hopefully I'll be ready to shop 'til I drop soon! LOL Thank you for sharing this. Have a wonderful day! :)
Enjoy your field trip! It is a fun place to go with lots of cool pieces. It’s so fun planning and setting up craft rooms 🤗
I've never been to an Ikea or even bought anything from there. I found I had to go into settings and slow the video down so much and then I couldn't understand what you were saying, but no big deal, I just put CC on. I could put it on 25, and that was nearly too fast. Ugh. I am actual nauseous.... gotta go lie down for at least an hour. Loved the information on the video. Please know, I only brought this up in case you make any more "speedy" videos, and that I really do appreciate this video. I saw much more this way than if I were at the store in person. Thank you very much.
👍🏻
Excellent information. Thank you for taking the time to do this one!
Any excuse to go to IKEA!
Great video! So many GREAT ideas! Thanks! And there is nothing wrong with your camera work. Keep up the fun videos.
Thank you!!! I will!
I didn't find anything wrong with the video & I get motion sickness very easy. She wasn't twirling round & round. I thought it was great.
Thanks for the great video! IKEA is definitely my favorite shopping place & one just opened up about 30 minutes from me! I was just there in April & I can't believe how much new stuff there is already!
It always surprises me how often they are able to update!
I need a whole craft room full of IKEA’s cubbies or book cases for yarn storage.
👍🏻
Min. 5:14 I too love the black and white shelving and they way they're placed! Perfect for a smaller office, makes smart use of a small space without giving up on style!
Me too!
Thanks for the info! So many great ideas, many of which I would have missed (I get so overwhelmed!) P.S. Your boys are adorable!
Thank you!
Great video. Great suggestions. Wish I lived only 10 minutes away from an IKEA.
It is dangerous living so close!
Nice video. I really enjoyed seeing all of the Ikea products and your ideas.
Thanks!
Ooooh..... I’ve never been to an Ikea yet, but now I must go to the one that opened a year ago and only 40 mins. away. I had no idea they had so much interesting stuff!
It is such a fun place to visit for sure!
For all the people who took the time to complain about getting motion sick, at the top right of the video there are three dots click on them.You will see speed click on that and get speed options. You then have to mute the video or she will sound slurred.
I don't think advising a videographer to slow down should be taken offensively
If you've never experienced it, you can't understand. Alsi, if you slow the bideo down, the soundtrack slows down.
When people post videos, they need yo not take things personally, but as a way to improve the video experience for viewers. Especially since the info was submitted by multiple people.
Take it as helpful information, not as a shot against them.
I provided my feedback to help. I adore feedback, especially negative ones because it tells me the person is actually paying attention enough to have an issue but kind enough to tell me so I can improve. I did slow it down but then the verbal info is compromised. I think she was sweet enough to reply "noted" so its a win win. We are artists trying to help other artists. Nothing sinister about it.
Good tip.
I only have a small space for crafting and it's pretty much exclusively Ikea desk, drawers and storage! Their products are so cheap and good quality too. My desk is quit a few years old and in great condition. I can't wait to get a craft room I'm going to Ikea the hell out of it! Great video with great tips. TFS! Xxx
Love it!
Not gonna lie I’m loving how the oak shelf for compact areas is still in ikea cause I bought one half as I had a small room at first but knowing the rest of the set is still there makes me happy to know I can keep that modern wood aesthetic
I❤️ IKEA! Thanks for showing all the cool ideas! Happy shopping!
Thanks for watching!
Love this! There’s an IKEA about 90 miles from me. Pretty sure I need to go now! 😂 ps- your video is just great because it shows that you were really there. That’s what videos are for!
ThankU for this Video. I've never been to IKEA. Now I have a peek. If the Weather wasn't so bad today, I would take a trip out there. HavA Wonderful & Blessed Day!😁
It’s a fun store to explore for sure!
Great video! Love IKEA. Enjoy your boys, it goes by too fast. I know because my boys are turning 30 in a couple of weeks.
💜💜💜
Loved all the IKEA ideas.
💕💕💕
Lovely informtive blog. I also had no no trouble to hear you xx
Thank you for the extensive tour. I just purchased the tornviken kitchen island for cutting table and love it.
Wonderful!
Thx for all he ideas, and time you took for this video. The video did make me a bit dizzy though.
Yup, this was one of my first “live action” videos. Working on getting it smoother now💕
I agree! Definitely need slower movements. Maybe you could slow it down in the editing. Content was fantastic!!
Set up a studio when I retired. All Ikea. A dresser, closet insert, desk, chair, shelves- even a daybed.
Wish there were an Ikea near me. You are so lucky!
I know!
I just loved going through IKEA with you and meeting your kids. I had no idea that so many items for me were even there. I am now one of your new subbie, thumbs up, and hit the bell.
So sweet, thank you!
Great video thank you. Sadly no Ikea in little old New Zealand..... looks like a very adictable sort of store!!! Cheers, DEB T
It is!
Great video, well presented. Some of the price tags I didn't catch.. If you do this again, make sure you hit those up in the viewfinder for us Frugal gals!
Good advice! I will remember that next time!
@@ScrappyWife This video was really helpful! I went yesterday and your help opened my eyes
This was great inspiration! 👏🏽
💜
thanks for the tour. we don't have an IKEA here in Corning NY, so it is difficult to imagine what 'could be' in our craft rooms. now we have a better place to start when we go to the website.
Yay! Glad it was helpful!
Hands down the best IKEA craft video I've seen! And I've seen quite a few!🙋 TFS!💕
Aw, thank you! So sweet 💕 What can I say, I love IKEA!
And I thought I hated Ikea! I am going to think of it in a whole new light now!
Definitely don’t go on a weekend though...it might make you hate it again 😂
