Scrapbook room furniture?

I bought a six piece credenza at a furniture store. It wants cheap though. Wonder if you check you local ads for a going out of business sale or on Craigslist. I also have two good sized ladder shelves (made sure they were the right size) that holds a bunch of paper and baskets.

Ikea has a lot of affordable furniture that's perfect. I love the Alex drawer, the Kallax units and their linmon desks.

I would say 75% of my craft room is made up of IKEA furniture - galant desks, Alex drawers, raskogs, plus a couple of other pieces no longer sold. The rest is from Target - bookcases and cubes that are like the Recollection cubes.

Mine doesn't arrive until next week, but I bought this from Walmart for my scrap room. I'm hoping it's sturdy because is looks like it can hold quite a bit.

I have a combo of Target tables, Martha Stewart craftroom pieces and ikea....they work well togethernand are really efficient..

A lot of people say that Ikea is expensive, but in comparison to what you'd get from office stores that do similar things (and not nearly as well or as multifunctional as Ikea) it's actually not that expensive. Kallax and Alex lines are the best in terms of affordability and functionality for a variety of things.

If I ever get to do the remodel that I want to do, I'll probably even order some of their kitchen cabinetry for storage, too. It's not as affordable as other Ikea items, but you can customize the cabinets with drawers and other pull outs for a lot less than you can just about anywhere else.

most of the furniture in my scrap room is either from Ikea or the Container store. I have had a set of Container store shelves for probably 20 years now; they move from house to house with me. THey're these shelves: elfa shelving example. (not this exact configuration, but this gives you a general idea. I think maybe Home Depot or other stores sell the same type of shelving, now...

Basically, you screw an upper track to the wall at ceiling height, and hang the upright pieces from it. Then you buy shelf brackets and shelves in whatever shelf 'width / depth' you want. They're easy to configure, crazy-strong, and you can put together any combination of shelves you want.  I have 4 or 5 shelves that are maybe, 6 feet wide?  a couple are deep enough to hold 12x12 Iris containers, and the other ones are 8 inches deep. 

I also have an ancient desk from the Container store, basically this one-  one set of wire mesh drawers, a desk top, and a set of two legs. 

Everything else in my craft room is a mishmash of random bookcases and leftover furniture (like our old Ikea kitchen table, lol), plus three Ikea Billy bookcases and one 4x4 Kallax cube (which is where I keep my typewriter). 

I really want ONE LARGER work surface-- the desk is only 54x24 inches, and the kitchen table (butted right up against it) is a slightly different height.  I'd like one larger work surface that's more in keeping with the 3x6 tables at the retreats I attend.   I stand quite often, too, so a taller table wouldn't be bad, either.

Has anyone here made a desk out of a door + bookcases, like the DIY ones you see online?

My scrapbook/craft room is part of a spare bedroom. I use a metal wire 5-shelf unit I bought at Aldi's with heavy duty wire (you can get the came thing at Walmart or Lowes, etc). I cut to size and put foam poster board on the shelves and my albums are on the bottom row. The next shelf up are the Iris 12x12 clear containers that are cheap on black Friday sales at Michael's to store stickers, papers, embellishments by theme. things. I use the clear Cropper Hopper things to store paper and cardstock. I bought 2 of the Creative Memories medium storage containers to store my journaling cards and Project Life stuff. The other shelves basically have small Iris containers or clear plastic containers that have my small ink pads and daubers and any other items.  I have some other containers for other craft items such as yarn.

For a desk, I bought a small farmhouse kitchen table that was a floor model at Kmart. There were some scratches I just covered up with black and brown sharpie pens. I have my Tombow markers on the desk and a small carousel that holds my Kiwi Lane template.
