Marleene Craft Room

Marleene has a beautiful Craft room in what I think is her attic. A lot of IKEA elements, including the favourite of Crafty Storagers, the Raskog trolley and a STENSTORP kitchen island.

I strongly recommend to visit her gallery over at Two Peas in a Bucket, but I would like to highlight two great ideas:

A corner kitchen unit that rotates, perfect to utilise 100% of the space.

And that she uses a medium sized square Expedit (UK) unit over a Hemmes (UK) chest of drawers , both from IKEA.
