The great thing about this, is you can use it in other rooms tooI may do something like this in my laundry room. I have tiles on my wall over my counters in my kitchen, so I'm not sure how I could do it there. -
This whole systems if the Fintorp Wall storage system from IKEA. They have various finishes and basket styles, as well as other options for caddies. -
I can't believe that IKEA won't let y'all order from their online system. I live minutes from IKEA...if anyone out there REALLY wants this system, let me know. I'd be glad to get 'em and ship 'em out for ya! :) -
I live 20 minutes from Ikea! Going there today for curtains. I will check this out too. -
You could do the same thing with decorative curtain rods and decorative hooks...might save a bit of $$ -
great idea! thanks -
Not for me and we have an IKEA and I went there...not impressed. Maybe I should take orders and ship to all who have no IKEA???? -
Aoopsdd to this post...

yep michelle i was thinking the same thing my self, curtain rods and maybe some good metal baskets from hobby lobby would work think i'mm gonna try that for my bathroom. this is a wonderful idea, love it in you kitchen looks great. I tried on ikea web sit also and couldn't order. i think we have an ikea in nashville but not sure. -
Don't want to be a wet blanket, but I once installed this kind of thing in a kitchen...the items pick up grease and dust anyway, whether they are on or off the counter. Then you have extra cleaning because you have to clean the hardware that hangs them. Just declutter and keep only essentials, and right the counter. You'll have to wipe them down once in a while anyway, no matter what you do. -
I LOVE THIS! -
i love this better than mine! i got mine from big lot w/ cpn 25% -
I agree with Cherie. A plain painted wood or glass shelf would be easier to keep clean. I have wood shelves and find them easy peasy to keep things organized and since they are painted in high gloss white enamel paint they are easy peasy to keep clean with a swipe of a sponge. -
Love Debbi C's idea of the shelf! Makes sense! :) -
looks like a nice way to have a place for everything -
I love this ikea system. I have it in my bathrooms as well as my kitchen -
I loved this idea, but really didn't want to spend that much (yeah, I know it's not really alot) so I went another route. I went to my local, favorite thrift store, bought a decorative curtain rod, some cute shower curtain hooks and some various wire baskets that I spray painted. Looks cute as can be, and I think I MIGHT have a total of $25 in it. When you're poor, you must learn to improvise...LOL -
I'm sorry, but I don't see this as much improvement. The clutter is simply moved to a higher level, and you have the additional clutter of all the shelving/baskets. A better idea would be to minimize the items you think you "have" to have out on your counter and consolidate the rest into small groups so everything is not strung out all over. Just my opinion. -
looks nice but its taking up alot of wall space where nice little metal or wood pictures could be hung up...something more to clean as well.... -
looks nice and neat but in reality at the end of the day all those cute little baskets would end up as a catch all... -
i really don't see any advantage to this at all. It just moves the clutter up a few inches. Since most kitchens have a tile back splash I wouldn't want to go through the effort of drilling through tile to mount the system. The rod and basket will get dusty and greasy as well and just give you more to clean. Great idea in theory but not practical. -
We don't have an ikea in our state either and I've never found anything I wanted that was available for shipping. Anything I've wanted is available in store only. -
this is the best idea I have seen yet! absolutely love it . .
-
What a great idea! This would be great in a craft room. -
You can buy the stuff to do this at Ikea...I've seen it there and they give you choices on the look too
