You may recall a certain fantastic part of my home office makeover...
You all know exactly what I am talking about... those little white cups are truly amazing right?! In fact, I know you all think so because I got oodles of emails asking me all about the little beauties!
They actually came from Ikea, surprise surprise I know! And I am in awe that I don't see more of these around the blogosphere {unless it's just because it's such an obviously awesome solution that's already been over shared and I missed the memo?}... it's such a simple combination!
Yep, just take one Bygel Rail plus a couple Bygel Hooks plus a couple Asker Cups, and boom, instant storage and organization that is uber adorable to boot!!
They are wonderful in the laundry room, for holding a sponge used for quick cleanups:
And gloves also used for cleaning:
And although I find these containers to be perfect in both my office and laundry room spaces, I could see them working just about anywhere, for anything, from holding utensils in the kitchen to corralling beauty supplies in a bathroom, the too cute options are really endless!!
Now I would love to hear what things you have repeated throughout your casa, because they are just so fantastic. Anyone have any news that bares repeating over and over? Please, don't contain yourselves!
I do love them in your office and now in the laundry room too. I'll have to try that Ikea system somewhere in my house...now where???? Thanks for sharing. As always, an informative post!

Oh, you're making me antsy to decorate and spiff up my laundry area! My landlord is going to think I'm bonkers when he sees it. But I'm totally realizing it's worth it!
ReplyDeleteThis is SUCH a great blog! Just found you while blog hopping and I'm adding you to my daily reads. I SOOOOO need help in the organization department!
ReplyDeletei wish there was an ikea closer to me!!! they don't sell very much online i found. so sad! those look very handy!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these pencil holders/storage cups! I've seen them before in other spaces and had a small idea that they came from IKEA but couldn't find them on their website. Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Jen! I know this is a super old blog post, but I was just wondering about those adorable flowers that you have hanging above those white cups in your office. Are they from IKEA too? I'm new to your blog and LOVE it! My husband can not believe how much time I have spent looking over your past posts..yikes! I love it, keep up the great work!

ReplyDeleteI searched the asker cup online at IKEA and they didn't have them.:(
ReplyDeletei cant find these eaither. is there a special link?
DeleteI don't think they carry these anymore.
DeleteOK now I see the link you have to them! Thanks!:)
ReplyDeleteCould you please tell me the maximum number of cups can fit on the rail?
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!:)
The most I have fit is 4.
Deletexoxo,
Jen
Is that for the 21-34" or the 39-1/4" rail? Thanks!
DeleteI always use the shorter option. :)
Deletexo,
Jen
Hi Jen, Love your ideas! On your blog photos, I saw some laundry canvas totes with monogrammed labels for "whites" etc. on them. Where did you purchase those? Thanks for your awesome organizing ideas.
ReplyDeleteHi there!
DeleteHere is the post on the labeled bins. They were partially DIY'd: http://iheartorganizing.blogspot.com/2012/02/laundry-land-labels-and-some-tips-too.html

I need...in a bad way, this above my kitchen sink. You think your kitchen is small??? You haven't seen mine! It's about a 1/4 of the size of yours & I'm having a really hard time getting mine to where "I heart" it, as you say. I'm an avid baker & love to cook so I have all the kitchen gadgets & appliances with nowhere to store them. I would say my kitchen is about the size of most average people's bathrooms, maybe smaller! Wish you made house calls because I'm having serious issues coming up with a 'plan' for my kitchen! I am going to try to organize my fridge & freezer though because I only buy groceries once a month & stockpile a lot of things & your tips will really help me. Keep up the awesomeness! ~Joni~
ReplyDeleteHello, Can you send me some ideas for organizing a very small kitchen. Fortunately I will have a blank slate at our new house; unfortunately it will only by approximately 9*8; must fit a small rectangular dining table with 4 chairs, a window, and three doors. One door would be on the top right hand corner, while two down on the bottom right side corner, almost together (one is a bedroom door and one is a hallway. Any ideas for organizing a kitchen from scratch would be helpful. I need all of the ideas I can get and really want to do it right the first time. The rest of the house is pretty much as small so no way that I can spill out into another room for dining.
DeleteI have been searching everywhere for those asker cups. They would be perfect in my room with air plants in them. Not at Ikea online, nothing on ebay, nothing even close anywhere. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Hi Jen! I absolutely love your blog! This is exactly what I have been looking for my closet office ( copycat alert!) I really want to say thanks for your inspiration in my home. My daughter (16) I also loving your great posts on your blog, we spend hours trying out these ideas! Much love to you and your family, Sarah
ReplyDeletewhere do you find your asker cups? Are you from Canada? Because on the ikea.ca they did'nt have this one :(
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi,
DeleteIt is my understanding that IKEA has since cancelled the ASKER products. :(
xo!
I don't see those Asker cups on Ikea anymore. How long ago did you get them? I love them!
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny!
DeleteUnfortunately I purchased them many years ago now. Maybe check eBay?
Best of luck!
Jen
I can't find the Asker Cups on Ikea. :( I really love these. Could you help me find the correct link or another name of the product?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, IKEA has since discontinued these particular cups, and I haven't found a good replacement. However, they offer a variety of rail/cup combinations in their kitchen storage department, which should still offer the same functionality.
