A Pinterest-Inspired Peg Board

Back in October, I gave my friend, Kim, a Pinterest gift.  I gave her the supplies to make something from her Pinterest board and promised I'd make it with her.  We did our shopping last week and got together yesterday to put our peg boards together.

I made my board for Kennedy's room so I chose knobs in tones of blue and green, and added in a couple of fun ones like a clock face and a peace sign.  The knobs all came from Hobby Lobby ... their selection is fantastic and if you catch them at 50% off, they're also extremely affordable.


I spray painted a leftover board with Rustoleum Heirloom White, then sanded it and rubbed it with a dark Minwax stain.  I drilled holes for the knobs and added picture hangers to the back.  Done.



It looks really cute in Kennedy's room {although we're debating about whether we'll take down the wall decal dots underneath} and is perfect for hanging hoodies, purses, and all the other junk that's currently cluttering her floor.  One can always hope.

  2. I'm glad you got to do that. I read your original post about putting the gift together for your friend, and I used that as inspiration. I gave my sister the supplies for some of the projects she pinned for Christmas and her birthday. She loved them. Thanks for the suggestion!

  3. How cute! I tend to be somewhat of a dreamer, more than a 'doer'. I've planned on making something similar for YEARS, only instead of using drawer pull knobs, I plan to use old, antique doorknobs I've collected. I think it would be a cute place for hanging coats & jackets, and such. I guess I've procrastinated since I don't really have the right spot for hanging it. I think I'll get off my tookus & make it anyway, though. Thanks for the inspiration! :-)
