Wow, that looks great! I might be going to Ikea in a couple weeks, but if not, maybe I should check out Walmart (I HATE shopping there, but might be worth it....)

I absolutely love it in gold!! I wish I could justify a use for one of those. My craft room is on the second floor so lugging it downstairs would be silly. I have one in my scrap room and another in my office. I love the extra space it gives me in both rooms. In my mind, I know I can use the office one if my scrap space ever changes.

I looked at Walmart today and they didn't have any. Right next to the folding chairs there was a big empty space. I'll have to look again the next time I go.

From the dimensions it looks like that one is almost 2 inches shorter, but otherwise just about the same.

You didn't spray that indoors did you? If you did, I doff my cap to you- I would have trashed the room.

That gold is GORGEOUS. What a great idea! Re: What to keep in them. I have three of the raskogs. One is a rolling 'vanity' next to a floor-length mirror and stool in my bedroom and holds all my makeup, hair dryer, etc. One is in my office next to my office desk and holds my purse and office supplies. And one is in the playroom under the crafting table; it holds essential crafting tools mostly -- atm it's stuff like my trimmer, heat gun, watercolor pads, watercolor board, paper towels, etc. When my hoard was much smaller, I used it to hold all my mixed media paints and such. You can fit one of the Antonius bins from IKEA in there and it sorts things nicely, or you can take two of the Samla boxes (also IKEA) and you can fit them with lids side by side in each basket shelf with room on top to slide something else. IMO, look up "raskog" on Pinterest and have a fun afternoon staring at all the gorgeous setups people have.

That is some fine spray-painting there. I want one and I have no use for it.

PolarGreen12 I love the gold! Brilliant idea! I just ordered one and can pick it up tomorrow! I'm going to pack it with tools, including my Big Shot Plus. I have all of my tools tucked away and I know I would use them more if they are in plain sight. I do wish it was just 1/2 inch bigger so it would hold 12x12 paper but I just know I'm going to love it.

Love that gold!
I just changed out the supplies in my Raskog cart - it's now my "mixed media" supply cart. I have some Plaid paint rolls (a long panel with pockets that hold acrylic paint bottles) and they are attached to the outside of each tray. Now all my "messy" supplies are close at hand!
My Raskog is grey, but I'm thinking about painting it red (I just changed the colors in my craft room/office to Disney red, black and white!).
I'll definitely be using Krylon paint as I used it to paint a JetMax unit and it was so easy and came out so nice.
Happy Cart Hunting & Filling, Steph

Tell me what you guys keep in these carts? I keep my manual die cutting supplies in mine. I have the old Epic 6 with 12" platforms. It all fits nicely. On the top I keep containers of my acrylic stamps from Felicity Jane in envelopes, standing upright in plastic boxes from Target, from years back.
