IKEA cabinet 'organizers' that are worth it?
Comments (2)Hi, shelly_k. Your other thread is here, if you can't find it: Here is a link that might be useful: IKEA cabinet 'organizers' that are worth it?...See MorePlease post pics of your organized cabinets and drawers
Comments (34)Some great ideas - I might have to add them to what I have already done. It is amazing - if you organize it, it tends to stay organized! A bit late as I was traveling Here is my Spice Stack Closed up spices - I have more in my baking area - but this allows me to use standard bottle for most of my general spices. Dish Drawer - still working on the final resolution - I know longer have the 8 lb peg board in it. My baking cabinet - extra flour is in the pantry - but I think I have about 8 varieties... Blind corner - I used these cheap Copco lazy susan units until I get energetic to make something better. i only use on the top 2 shelves. Above oven - similar to others How do you say OCD - LOL :-) The insert is Rev-a-shelf for the silver and just plain knife block from the local vacuum store. I think it is a Wustoff. Vertical drawer dividers so I don't have to unstack most items - but loved the idea of tension curtain rods... More vertical storage Over the top - organized towels!! More baking dishes and wraps as well - wish I made this one a 4 stack but didn't want to have too many wierd lines My bread machine drawer - it now houses my Vitamix attachments as well. I also have a container drawer - love having the plastic in drawers so no more avalanches!! My "jig saw" drawer - these are bins by Made Smart and I literally sat at BBB and put them together to figure out what worked - I have modified a few of the bins - they probably think I am nuts - I keep taking things back and getting different ones. Have fun! PS - Love to come to So Cal to help organize!!...See MoreAre IKEA cabinets worth a two hour drive?
Comments (15)Definitely...we also put them in a rental house we own, and they've held up beautifully thru several tenants. We also put in the butcherblock counters and the metal bracket shelves. The upper and lower cabinets are built like tanks, hold up to a lot of use, and you can't beat the price. The finish is extremely sturdy (we used one of the painted finishes), and the hardware/blum slides are heavyweight performers. For the price, you can't beat it, and I would invest in IKEA cabs for a rental over any cheaper HD or Lowes cab's. Well worth the 2 hour drive, and you should be able to get an entire kitchen's worth of cabinets easily into the back of a large car, SUV, or station wagon, since they arrive in pieces. Believe me, these cabinets will hold up much longer than anything else in a rental, and they will pay for themselves over the long haul. Also...if a tenant damages a cabinet door, you can easily buy just the door from IKEA as a replacement....See MoreIkea drawer dividers/organizers and lighting
Comments (1)The dividers won't fit in non IKEA cabinets due to measurements. If they're like the old Akurum stuff, it also has to clipnto the metal sides as well. The lighting should work with anything....See Morelatimore
