Have any of you seen the new cat bed insert for the Kallax at IKEA? It looks cute and not very expensive. I'm going to check it out when I'm there next week. I have a cat who likes to hang out with me while I'm in my craft room since I have a big window with lots of sun shinning in. With all my purging I could probably give up a cube to put it in.

I finally got my new shelf unit put together on Tuesday. Thank goodness I had one cubby unfilled. Maggie wouldn't have anywhere to sit otherwise. I think this a great idea.

Yes, we have one and it works great...if only she would sit in it! We took it out to reorganize some of the cubbies and then she curled up and went to sleep!

I was so bummed that IKEA was out of these cat bed inserts yesterday. Actually I was bummed and surprised how many things (big & small) were out of stock. It's likely linked back to COVID, but it was really noticeable all over the giant store.

We bought our cats some back in March cause DH was upset that our girl cat had a Unicorn bed that our older more "thicker" cat couldn't fit in to. And our grand-dog that was staying with us at the time also had a Unicorn bed and he felt that Chubs, the older cat, was being left out! 🙄 Nevermind that we had 2 other open cat beds for him to sleep in that he never used! Anyways, he saw these when we where at Ikea and decided that Chubs would fit. I had to buy 2 to make it even! And they where like 5 bucks each. I just tucked blankets into them and they do love them. I call them their apartments! I had to remove a few albums to make space for them. This is in the living room.

I want two, but I don't even have the Kallax - LOL.

We have one of these in the craft room and my cat sleeps in it all the time, especially when I'm in there scrapbooking. He loves to be near.

Right now, I have a dog bed set up on a chair because she likes to be up high. I swear she's part cat.

On the 2nd floor.

I am still purging in my craft room and would have totally had room in my Kallax for the cat box/bed. Oh well maybe next time I'm at IKEA they will be back in stock.

On the 2nd floor. Yes, that is Chubs, Chubby bunny, or Sir Chubs-a-lot! But, he has slimmed down quite a bit so the name is just a moniker now. Or when the kids named the new cat Ellie, I took to calling her Ellie May and him Jethro Bodine.😂 Seemed to fit with how big he was and how tiny and delicate she was!

Slightly off topic - but what were the Ikea units like this called prior to being redone and given the Kallax name??

expedit, I think Has anyone tried the wine bottle inserts for scrapbooking stuff? With narrow refrigerator bins? Both Ms and Ikea sell them. If I can figure out how to upload a photo, I will share a picture of mine. This was what inspired me http://instagram.com/p/CSawWLsrCwY

This was what inspired me http://instagr.am/p/CSawWLsrCwY I really want to try this, but I am in Canada and the cheapest I have been able to find the fridge bins is $14 each, which makes it a bit pricey to buy 9! I so wish Ikea would come up with a bin like this.

Yes - Expedit! That's what I have. If I remember correctly from years back, there's a slight difference in size?

I looked into that wine insert/bin solution, but those refrigerator bins are pricey!

I found some narrow refrigerator at Marshalls, I think they were only $3.

This was what inspired me http://instagr.am/p/CSawWLsrCwY I want these inserts and I'm debating making a trip to Ikea this weekend (it's about an hour from me, so once in a while I will go). I've been scrolling scrapbook/craft organization on Instagram (it's like a black hole, I get sucked in!!) and now I want to reorganize my work area downstairs even more. I'm also eyeing a new kitchen table and chairs from Ikea, if I go, I might pick it up. They sell these type of inserts at Michaels? for the Michaels' cubes? I've not seen those.
