I just dropped a TON at IKEA -- $2000 + in one weekend to totally redo the laundry room and my craft room. And I still have two more items to buy that were out of stock. But I have taken a YEAR to plan out the two rooms and I'm getting really excited, if I can just finish emptying it so we can paint the two concrete walls and put the laminate floor in.
I thought for sure I would go with the Expedite like I have seen in so many awesome studios in the gallery, but I surprized myself and went with Billys with half-height doors -- I want to be able to hide away a lot of what I have, and since I am in a windowless basement room, I wanted a lot of white to lighten it up. And I knew I needed the Beenos to hold stamp sets. Plus I already have 14 Jetmax cubes and couldn't see myself getting rid of them (though if I DIDN'T have them already, I would look at the Store in Style brand instead -- larger and much more durable - if you can find them)
Try the Galant file cabinet... if you leave one of the small drawers out and place the paper rails in the wide position, it holds 12 x 12 paper!! I got three to place side by side and they will make my cutting station.. big shot, papercutter, and cricut.

another tip I got here is to use a shoe cabinet to hold 12 x 12 paper - the Stall has three compartments each divided in half:

Mine hasn't been assembled yet so I will show you where I got the idea:

And if your room is small like mine, I found a great laptop desk that mostly folds away when not in use:

anyway, hope to finish the room in the next 2-3 weeks and I'll post a photo.
