I headed off to IKEA last night in search of some of the orange cat fabric I have seen online.
I managed to snag a few yards for myself and for my friend.
It is kind of a light weight canvas.
It would be great for bags or for outdoor cushion covers.
These bees were kind of cool too.
As I was walking out I saw everyone's favorite cart and say WHATTTTT????
Look at those magnetic bins attached to the sides!!!
One more way to increase storage without increasing the footprint in my sewing room!
I always seem to have little "things" that need a home.
I wasn't keen on the food pics, but they come out and the top is clear.
This way you can see inside the bin.
Or I suppose you could make a photo and put it on the cover too.
Another thing I do in my room to maximize the space utilization is put my mini ironing board
on top of my cart.
It's handy and it is movable. I
even recovered the board with the metalic reflective peel and stick ironing board cover material. (made by Bo Nash and you can find it here)
I love using this!
Easy to change and multiplies the heat.
Another space saver is a shoe holder that fits over the door.
I use it on the back side of my door in my sewing room.
It's a great place for me to keep things like cards, floss, tule, and bits and bobs that are too big for those canisters and not used frequently but I can never seem to find otherwise!
LOL.
As I was taking photos in my room, Hallie was "helping".
You can tell the difference between her and Autumn as Autumn is a little bit of a thing and
Hal is a chubba wubba.
HAHA, I love my calicos!
Enjoy your weekend and make time to do something that makes you happy!

Cool space saving ideas. Love the ironing board idea since mine is currently on a small collapsible table, I have been considering the TV tray, but your idea is much better.
If you order on line, do you have to put it together?? or does it come assembled. I couldn't find that answer on the cart ordering page. I like the idea though! Btw, the antique tractor show is the last weekend in July in Boyne Falls/Walloon Lake, MI. I will google it for you and get the link.
Great ideas and fabric finds. Thanks for sharing. A trip to Ikea in on tap for tomorrow. Hope they have the orange cat fabric.
Some days I REALLY miss IKEA ... what great fabric!
You know the carts are being discontinued. It was posted at the Charlotte NC store back in April
!
Where are you finding fabric at IKEA? I went to one in Seattle area and looked for the fabric, couldn't find any?

I went to an IKEA store for the first time this past winter. I was pretty overwhelmed with all the 'coolness'!
