My new cutting table...
3 Attachment(s)
A while back there was a post of a cutting table that I just knew I had to make myself. Now I am not good with instructions I'm more of a visual. My fiancée and I went to Ikea and purchased the items needed to create this table and I actually had fun making this. It's not close to what the one quilter had done but I'm happy with the results. BTW Ikea no longer carries Expedit instead they replaced it with the brand Kallax which is about the same.

Excellent table .. you should be proud and very happy ! I have an IKEA within walking distance ...I might just have to try to tackle this project.

Excuse the mess from the cutting table as my sewing is still a work in progress since moving into our home. I wanted to share with you that we also bought the Kallax 8 cube from Ikea. Please note **THESE ARE NOT MEANT TO BE HUNG ON THE WALL** What my fiancée did is he put a 2x4 wood underneath it and then used strong brackets attached to the studs. This holds very well. And we bought two unfinished wall cabinets and painted it white with some nice hardware pulls. I love it!

Nice job. Just wish I had that much space to work with! Enjoy your new sewing space.
|
what a great table
|
Looks Great! Enjoy!
|
I wish we had an Ikea close. The closest one to us is about 500 miles away. But, I love your cutting table. Great job and it's very pretty, too.
|
Nice, very nice.
|
looks like a great space to be creative !! Love your cutting table.
|
Wow you are creating a wonderful space!
|
WOW!!! Your sewing space is wonderful. Please post pictures after you get it completed. I think I am turning green with envy as I type!
|
Looks like you have a great fiancée that can help you with getting organized. Be sure to post the photos when you have finished getting organized!! I like your bins since they will keep any light off your fabrics.
|
Looks great! I am waiting patiently for our new Ikea, which won't be finished until sometime next summer. I love your cutting table. Definitely more useful than mine, which is just a raised dining room table. It works well, but like the storage in yours.
|
What a wonderful space and you are filling it nicely
|
Sure looks great. Wish I could use the wall space better in my sewing room. I am not quite 5 ft tall and would have to have a stepladder or stool out in the way all the time. I love the look you got from yours. Great job
|
You are creating such a wonderful space that you will get lots of enjoyment from in the future. So nice to have help in creating it as well. I love your new coutting table especially the drawers and the wall unit he made is fabulous. So keep us posted on your progress and enjoy the new creativity space.
|
Very, very nice and lots of storage.
|
Thank you all for your kind words. I got the idea and instructions from ikeahackers.net, under crafts. It shows it in blue but I loved the birch. I wanted to use white as my top though and just love the way it came out. For me Ikea is about 1.5 hrs away from me far but close enough. :D
|
I'm impressed with your teamwork for a custom workroom!

Well I love your table and all of it's nooks and crannies for storage and your wall cubes are perfect.....and I'd hang on to that boyfriend if I were you! Nice job!

Great table and room!!!
|
You can go online and place an order for most anything in the store! I'm lucky to have an Ikea about 40 minutes away.

Looks great!! Are you leaving it on casters for mobility? Great idea for it to make way for needed floor space!

Yes I plan on leaving with the casters and there are locks in it. Honestly the table is heavy enough I don't need to lock it but for mobility it is excellent! |
Hi Lillian, love your area....I sent you a PM
|
great table..good job..
|
I wish I had an Ikea near me... love your new cutting table and it's handy storage.
|
ENJOY your wonderful table and your other furniture. GREAT
|
For those without an Ikea do you have a walmart near you? I found a similar shelf with the same layout and really similar in size to the Ikea one there IT is in white and brown. I am trying to see what I can come up with for them.
Online they have other colors was a bit cheaper in my local store but gives you another option http://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Hom...olors/29741114 |
