Roundup: Peg Board

Peg board is a utilitarian finish we're accustomed to seeing in garages and workshops. It can be perfect, though, for displaying collections or keeping arts and crafts materials in order. Take a look at these examples of peg board busting out into the rest of the home:

FIRST ROW:
• 1 Julia Child's blue peg board, via the Smithsonian Blog
• 2 craft storage DIY from Southern Living
• 3 Portland artist Amy Ruppel's studio
• 4 DIY'd peg board lighting by Modern Nests
• 5 an entire peg board wall displays photos and more at Better Homes and Gardens

SECOND ROW:
• 6 an action figure collection on display, via Limes and Xanadu
• 7 magazines displayed in a peg board wall unit via Design Sponge
• 8 artwork of sorts made of peg board by designer John Dilworth
• 9 Clips and peg board work together for this 2D art display. See how at Just a Girl
• 10 pegboard art and cord storage at Instructables

Hey, Regina, it's Kelly!

Thank you for this post! The house we just moved into has these and I was debating over how to move forward with them!

You can get frames and pegboard panels in your choice of colors at http://www.design-divide.com. The frames can be freestanding or attached to a wall, so you can put them anywhere. Change the panels anytime to create a completely different look.
