The music is a bit loud and distracting (but a good match for your tempo). I will definitely be utilizing Ikea organization in my home once it's built!
Hi Mark. We finished our IKEA kitchen late 2021 and I used those corner cabinet solutions. I also used drawers/hidden drawers for most of the base cabinets. This kitchen is the best! And I have you to thank! Your previous reviews of IKEA’s products really helped in the decision to use IKEA. Good work!
Shallow pantry are it for me. Mamam (my grandma), had single shelf storage and I LOVED it. So easy. Right now I have these metal wire racks but once it's warm enough, I'll build my own shallow shelves and then Annie Sloan Chalk Paint them fun colours. For the Lazy Susan, that half-way one, I like the railing. That's useful. But like you, I'm not a fan of that corner space either. Lots to still do on my kitchen like the lowers under the sink. I like those long draw pulls and I love the drawers that come out. Excellent stuff. Not sure if I'll be home during your live stream today but if I am, I will be there for sure. If not, I'll catch the replay as I'm working on the kitchen. Cheers, Ivy.
Hey Mark, great video, as always! About those wire baskets that you are not crazy about: I think the concept is a good one, for keeping some vegetables that need to allow air to circulate around them to prevent nastiness developing, it’s just the execution here that doesn’t live up to the usual IKEA standards. Maybe that will step it up in the next iteration.
Love these storage/organization features. Are you familiar with Form Kitchens? They are available in the US, made in Germany. They seem to have a lot of great storage solutions and am wondering if they might be higher quality than Ikea.
Thanks Mark. I always love a good ikea products video and this one did not disappoint. Also - I giggled when you said, "See, I can be reasonable." If you know, you know! 😅
Thank you for these ideas. I just wanted to mention though that the background music is really annoying. I want to listen to what you have to say but I find the music very distracting.
You didn’t mention the brand new Uppdatera series! This has me very excited, especially the pegboard drawer organizer. Much more flexible that the fixed drawer dividers! They also added some more utensil/silverware options for 15“ deep drawers, which is great for people like us, who have 15“ deep cabinets on the back of a peninsula.
Ikea has shallow drawers so you can still have drawers under the sink with through-the-floor plumbing as long as you have the drain at the back of the sink. What I did in my kitchen. I really don't like the "attached face" pullout - they always seems super rickety and like they are going to break, so I did a 15" and 10" shallow drawers, then the fixed 5" with a fake handle to match the rest of the lowers.
Necessity the mother of invention…..most of my organization came from me needing a solution….so think people…lol…yes IKEA is great…I look for every day things and repurpose them yet with flair…makes you scratch your head and say….why didn’t I think of that😜…..don’t want it to look odd or stick out like a soar thumb yet makes you have that nostalgic feeling on the inside remembering that lil something that brings back a good memory ….now I don’t dumpster dive…hey if you do go for it…but maybe find something in the garden house, barn, or maw-♥️maws homestead and repurpose with theses thoughts…is it aesthetically appealing, is it useful, and how do I display with purpose…that’s just me. Not every one is the same…but you would be surprised at the things that are useful…keep up the good work and yes…TOP OF MY LIST ORGANIZING….and the rest will fall into place👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Blessings & Great Success to the whole Tobin Crew👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Why need cabinet that later on put junks in it .. no matter how beautiful I prefer pantry for simple easy to find items at one door only . I had Ikea kitchen cabinet before in my apartment but trouble looking at all my kitchen cabinet doors
I love my super suzan. It does have a weight limit but it is perfect for what we are using it for. I also have the upper cabinet suzan. The shelves are adjustable for my height.
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! Thanks! Music in the background is too much though and distracts from your much appreciated knowledge and tutorial of awesome advice on IKEA products. LOVE your Videos! You have a Great eye and your Videos are so knowledgeable. Had no no idea of the spectrum of products. Thank you!
Hey! Super appreciate the feedback. I've heard that quite a bit and started removing music altogether. If it takes away from the content, it's not worth having. Thanks again for watching!
I did a Rev A Shelf corner. It was the only thing I could find that would work for our odd shaped blind corner without wasting a ton of space. That was an online order and not cheap. :) Angela
One of the "corner solutions" I've yet to see but that would make some sense would be to use the standard 24" square space (plus maybe more) in a corner to fit in a shaft-like and potentially two-level "appliance garage" that (hydraulically?) rose from below the counter to let you use (or take out) what you need and then just send it back below and out of sight. To hide the resulting seam you could top it with a movable cutting board or basket to enhance the functionality of the corner counter. Kind-of like a 21st century "dumb waiter"...
Hey Mark, I've sent a request for contact on your website a couple of times but have not received any reply(first one was back in November). Are you taking on new clients at this time?
Hi Darlene. Send me an email direct to marknamytobin@gmail.com I am taking clients and I've looked through spam folders on both of my accounts and didn't see anything. Not sure what's happening there, but would love to chat about your project.
Depends on the mount for the rails. If you can manage a full width drawer (or one that is cut around the plumbing), with side mount rails, then yes. Worst case, drill through the sink mat, for a bottom mount and silicone the screws. Not perfect, but at least you can protect the cabinet base.
You know i love kitchen corner solutions. I have a fantastic lazy susan unit. But i also have Ikeas lazy susan unit and it is not nearly as good imo. The moving part is easy to small for the box leaving a huge gap that stuff can fall into. I did decide to use mine for oversized storage and cooking items less likely to fall off. Thx for the video:-)
