Small Space Kitchen Organiser

Materials: KNUFF Magazine file (set of 2), Craft wood (I used one 3 inch by 36 inch by 3/8 inch piece), wood screws, small hand saw, power drill and paint

Description: In my kitchen, there was the weird spot between two cabinet that was just there, and SUPER NARROW. At only 8 inches across, it was too small to add in a pre-build cabinet. Here is my solution using the KNUFF Magazine Files (I refer to them as 'holders'):

1. First using a hammer, I popped out the small front side of both holders. Now, you could leave them in and skip step 2.

2. These are attached together, like a puzzle and I wanted my edge to be flat, so using a small saw, I cut off the tabs. The wood is relativity thin, so it cuts easily.

3. Next, because the width of the two holders together was less than my 8 inch gap, I cut two base pieces from craft wood, 8 inches across. I then drilled and screwed the base pieces to the holders. This step could also be skipped or altered, depending on where you are mounting this.

***NOTE: At this point, you will notice that one of the the holders is smaller than the other. To solve this, I just added a filer piece, behind the shorter side, when I screwed it to the wall.***

4. Paint! I painted mine via black spray paint.

5. Once it is dry, time to mount! My wall has a stud where I planned to hang it, but I would recommend using drywall anchors if there is no studs available.

I drilled and used a total of six 1.5 inch screws. There are two on the top edge and one in the base of the holders. Remember to use a small piece of wood behind the shorter side, so it mounts flat against the wall.

6. Add the items you want to store! I knew I wanted to use this for my cutting boards, but it also works well for foil, plastic wrap, and plastic storage bags.

My sister also suggested that it would make a good cookbook holder.

KNUFF - Magazine Holder - Makeover

Materials: Knuff , Svep (handle), walnut stain, black paint

Description: A fast, small, and great makeover for Ikea's KNUFF magazine holder.

First I stained them with color walnut, then painted the end black with water based paint. Waited half an hour, and scraped off some paint. Sanded the whole black side light.

Then added the handles and some wall stickers (His & Hers).

I have more hacks and DIY, see my blog.

Knuff is e-knuff

Materials: Vika amon custom table, Knuff

Description: I was really in the need of someplace to store my 11x17 paper for my large format printer. I was storing it on the floor under the desk but I kept kicking it. Then I had it on a HOL storage cube that we store our blankets in. That became a pain. So I went down to our favorite Swedish furniture store with a mission. I came across the Knuff magazine files and a spark went off.

I first knocked off the front piece of the Knuff. It came out relatively easy with a smack from the utility knife I was going to use. Then I put some small screws into the front just to hold them up loosely to the bottom of the Vika Amon top. Then I opened up my toolbox and found a lot of IKEA hardware that I never bother to put on from my Malm dressers. And Voila!
