Peg Board Holder

The previous owner set-up this peg board system in the craft room and I decided to leave it up and intact.

I've started to hang random crafting and home improvement tools on the wall.   And I just love how they take on a strong artistic look as the collection builds.   The pop of yellow from the hammer...the spiraly look of the hole puncher...even the deep red from the scraper.

I plan on painting the peg board a vibrant color---maybe Kelly Green?---as I add more hooks and tools.

Almost all of these tools are used or vintage in nature.   I really don't think it's terribly important to buy new hardware when you're planning on using it just sporadically. Believe it or not, flea markets are a great place to find a well-loved tool for very little money.  Plus, having splatters of paint here and there just adds charm and character.

Yeah everyone. Just wanted to share with you this cool piece of software called comment kahuna. It is 100% free and there is nothing to buy here. If you are an online marketer this is a good way to search blogs for your related intested or website topic and comment. It also picks blogs that follow urls. It is proving to be a great SEO tool for quick inbound link building. I have been using it on my Troy Management page and I am climbing the ranks. As I said it's 100% free with no upgrade needed. I hope this brings you more sales! www.commentkahuna(dot)com Cheers, Matty T

I think the Kelly Green would look awesome! I know a lot of people who dislike like the color, but I think it works in many types of spaces. I should probably have an aversion to it since it was one of my high school colors, haha. But no, I think in your space it would really pop.

Also if you have a chance, this month's issue of "Domino" magazine has a room redone in Kelly Green, looks great!

Happy belated birthday, Danny! I hope it was a good one. I use a peg board to hang my pots and pans in the stairway of our basement, which is close to the kitchen. It works great and frees space in the kitchen.

I have seen pegboards with outlines of the item stored so it's easy to replace tools to the right spot. The outlines also make it easy to see what's missing. Enjoy this blog! Thanks for your hard work for our environment!!

I use a peg board in my art studio - I spray painted it hot pink to give it some style.

I agree. A tool is a tool and like a pair of jeans that you wear all the time, they are handy to have around and don't have to be perfect or new. Cool peg board. Sort of keeps in all in place and easy to look for rather than sorting through a box for this or that.

[Home Improvement]

The first step towards successful Home Improvement Remodeling is to find out how much your home is presently worth. The next thing you need to know is what is the top sales price in your area - for totally updated and refurbished homes - of the same approximate size as your home. The difference between the present value of your home and the ceiling price of 'like' homes in your area is your maximum home improvement remodeling budget for all and any works you plan to do around your home. http://contractor-remodeling-home-repair.blogspot.com.
