  • I created a lovely workspace for my husband who is working from home right now. If you need to set up a home office but need some ideas to make your space neat, tidy and inspiring, this is the video for you. I have installed some Elfa Shelving from The Container Store to tie the space together! As a former Container Store employee, I have some Elfa Installation tips to share with you! I hope you enjoy this video!

    I’ve got a quick tip for whenever you’re drilling holes in dry wall - to avoid the dust going everywhere, I fold a piece of wide painter’s tape underneath the hole like a little shelf with the sticky side up and it ‘catches’ the dust when you drill the hole. It’s hard to describe, but I hope this makes sense. Love your videos. :)

      I use post it notes. I stick it to wall and fold it in half to catch everything. :)

    As a former Elfa Designer and 7-year Container Store employee, I just want to clarify; Elfa shelving is designed to be stable using just the drywall anchors that come with the system. Hitting studs, wooden or otherwise...although great...is not required for stability and I was not searching for one. If I encounter them when drilling pilot holes, I mark that hole with an X and use the included wood screws. I do have a stud finder lol.
    Also: everyone asking about the dope song: ruclips.net/video/gKWE-W0Rlzk/видео.html Thanks for watching!!! ❤️

    • @nosirrahm
      @nosirrahm 2 года назад

      I was worried about that. I’m about to buy a system for two closets. The master closet will have drawers and such so I’m worried if I don’t catch a stud since one rail will not span the entire wall.

    Sidenote: I felt like your music selections teleported me to Stockholm sitting in a cafe sipping on tea while people watching. What a great mental escape during these times. 😆

    This is great! They said having it hanging all on drywall is totally fine, that's the physics of the Elfa System, the weight of the contents acts as a counter balance.
    I like the shelves with the glass doors, looks like Ikea (?).

    To find studs in the wall, you simply tap the wall with the handle of a screwdriver. If it sounds hollow then there's no stud. If it sounds solid, then bingo, there's a stud.

      The Organized Soprano funny...right after I posted this comment I googled “glass door bookcases” and saw those exact ones on IKEA website...nailed it! They are so nice & Great price! I’m gonna get one soon... probably “gray/metallic effect”. I like that the books are enclosed so it eliminates the problem of DUST! Thanks for the reply & confirmation. You’re going to help make my organizational dreams come true! 😅 please keep up the good work. 👍🏼 and Clover is ADORABLE!🐶💛
