Drawers for Ivar Desk
Jus a few more photos of my small (but deep) ivar desk drawer! Note the slightly cut down cuttlery holder to put my pens and things in! – it works a treat!

Ikea IVAR Shelf Cut-Out
I added a cutout to an IVAR shelf, so I didn’t keep knocking myself out! I think it looks good.
Installed My Custom Ivar Drawers
I finally (after being able to get back to my office) installed the IVAR drawers I made. They work great. Using the slow close, fully extending drawer runners was worth it I think. It gives me far more storage, and in keeping with what I love about IVAR, it’s flexible, […]
