Creative Uses for Pegboard
Pegboard is an inexpensive and easy way to organize supplies just about anywhere: garage, office, kitchen, craft room, kids room — anywhere! Slap a coat of paint on it and it can even match your decor and look much less brown and utilitarian. But pegboard is good for more than just hanging on a wall to hold your stuff. Check out these 15 creative uses for pegboard:

For Kids
Kid’s Closet Organization: Think outside the box — pegboard can organize so much more than tools! Slippers By Day used painted pegboard to both update and organize her baby’s closet and toys.

Pegboard Display Wall in a Kids’ Shared Bedroom: If you have kids who are constantly fighting about what should be on the walls of the shared room, or who are perpetually redecorating — make it easier with a full pegboard wall where they can quickly and easily change the display themselves. You can sneak in some useful organizing, too! See more of this pegboard wall at Ramblings from Utopia.
Headboards
Union Jack Painted Headboard: If you need a simple headboard that can stand up to some rough-and-tumble kids play, painted pegboard can fit any theme you choose! A pair of wire baskets give room for nighttime reading, glasses, or a clip-on lamp. See how House for Five painted her Union Jack headboard.
Simple Method for a Tufted Headboard: A tufted headboard is a classic look and an easy DIY. 320 Sycamore makes it even easier with a shortcut to tufting by using pegboard.

Lorene has been behind the scenes here at Remodelaholic for more than a decade! She believes that planning projects and actually completing them are two different hobbies, but that doesn't stop her from planning at least a dozen projects at any given time. She spends her free time creating memories with her husband and 5 kids, traveling as far as she can afford, and partaking of books in any form available.
I love the pegboard vertical planter and the pegboard Christmas tree!
