desk tour | featuring the ikea kallax unit

October 19, 2018

desk tour

Y’all, I finally have a crafty space that I absolutely love! While my entire space is still a work in progress, my desk set up is pretty much complete to how I want it at the moment. And rather than waiting until I’ve painted my room, hung my gallery wall, etc. to do a full craftspace tour, I’ve decided to give you a little peak at my desk specifically with this fun desk tour featuring the Ikea Kallax Unit.

So the way I have my desk set up is pretty simple. My Ikea Kallax Unit cubed shelf is really what’s supporting the weight of my white table top, also bought from Ikea (cause really those two adjustable legs I have there are just for show). My desk is positioned up against my wall because I’m in such a small space. I utilized my vertical space and added a white Ikea FALKHÖJDEN Tier Shelf to house all the little bits and bobs I wanted on my desk, but in a neater, non-cluttered sort of way. I went with white because I am going to be painting my walls a lighter shade of teal (so more of a light mint) and I love how it’s already making my space look a bit brighter.

I’m so happy to finally have the majority of my crafting supplies all in one place! Seriously, using the Kallax unit like this as under-desk storage is genius! I have all of my tools and papers at hands reach. If I need anything, I really don’t have to get up from my desk cause it’s all there. I even purchased these wonderful Stack and Nest Trays from We R Memory Keepers* for my pattern paper, so that I could easily organize and store them in one of the Kallax cubes. I love these trays! They are quite possibly my favorite purchase!

Anyway, I don’t want to repeat everything in this post. I’ve thoroughly explained everything in this desk tour video that you can watch below. I hope you enjoy this little peek into my craft space. If you have any questions, let me know in the comments below!

Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I had so much fun with this color scheme and style that I went ahead and made two matching #littleartnotes! This color combo is super rare for me (Titan Buff and Titan Mars Pale with Payne's Gray marks), but I'm really digging it! 

Happy Friday Loves! xx
When I originally set up these pages in my @getmes When I originally set up these pages in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal, I left a lot of space to write about what blooming means to me. It means growth, blossoming, and becoming. It means to flourish. It also represents nature and the restorative power of being in the wild. 

Bloom means a lot to me and yet while finishing up some of these half-finished pages, I was at a loss for words. This is when I found that word phrase stickers really help get the message across. xx
Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Seas Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. A lot of these pages were already in progress, so it's interesting to see them finished. I'm sure I had other intentions for what they were going to look like a couple of years ago when I first created this journal. Now, I'm content with matching colors, adding paint, and a few scribbles. This journal is all about the process of creating for me now, which I think is still a source of growth. xx
Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I rather like how this one turned out! I'm quite obsessed with using this Payne's Gray NeoColor crayon to make some scattered marks on my page. You might see a lot more of this in future spreads from this book. xx
I've been enjoying following along with the @getme I've been enjoying following along with the @getmessyartjournal #getmessymay prompts. I've basically been just watching them as they are posted. But the other night, I attempted the Happy prompt and it literally has gotten back into simply playing around with my supplies. I pulled out this very old Seasons of Bloom journal that is SO CLOSE to being finished. I figure I'd channel all of this creative energy I have right now to finishing it up!

I'm not responding to any particular prompt, just using the processes and techniques shared to finally complete this journal. xx
