Storage Ideas: The Best Little Cart Ever...

The Ikea Raskog Trolley: Storage Ideas for Every Room!

A few months ago I was desperately (yes desperately) searching for a second-hand library cart for all of my kid’s books and there was not a library cart to be found in the freakin’ northern hemisphere under $400. HOWEVER, there was this…

The Ikea Raskog Trolley

Why is this little cart so great?

Because it solves MULTIPLE storage issues at once with its weeeee little handy trays (said in a Scottish accent preferably).

Mr. Raskog comes in at a whopping $69.99 and here are some of the things he can do…

I bought one of these for both of my girl’s bedrooms as they’re so darn handy!

I use the Raskog in our homework closet. It corals all of the pens, paper, and supplies we need for work AND for fun!

Hi Kylie,
Thanks so much for the ping back of my Happy Color Cart. I love it so much for its functionality, I added a second one to my studio. You’ve inspired me to share.

Thanks again,
Lisa

Just ran to Ikea and bought two turquiose carts for my pantry. So much storage and easy to put together. Thanks Kylie for the idea.

Hey Kylie,
What is the color on your daughter’s bedroom wall? It looks exactly like what I’ve been looking for! If it’s not an SW color would you mind suggesting a comparable SW color? Thanks for your amazing posts. Since buying our never-updated early 90’s house 7 months ago, I have read nearly every post you’ve ever posted and I’ve learned so much! 🙂

  Ooo, it was a few years ago now and I don’t remember! It would have been similar to SW Tame Teal though 🙂

  Hi Lola, I just had to crank pretty hard on those bolts with a wrench and they haven’t budged since!
