Over the past few months, we've been updating our home decor room by room. My craft desk was previously in my breakfast nook area in my kitchen, but it just wasn't gonna work there anymore. At the same time of my redecorating, I'm also doing some serious decluttering (using particularly the Konmari Method, stay tuned for more info) which means I really wanted to downsize this area.
My before area worked for a while like I stated, but I had a lot of stuff! I've slowly been downsizing all of my craft/planner supplies and for my new space I did not have room for my two sets of Alex drawers. With losing a full set of drawers I decided to use a pegboard for some extra storage.
I purchased this pegboard from Home Depot for about $20 which they cut down to my requested size. My new desk top (found here) was 47 and 1/4in so I got the pegboard cut to 42" to have a little space on each side. Also at Home Depot I purchased two packs of pegboard accessories for around $4 each.
Starting in the top right corner. I've taken a floating wall shelf and placed this on two shelf brackets from the accessories set. On this shelf, I've placed my Labrynth POP dolls that my husband gave me for Christmas. Below this I've placed my sticker books which were previously getting lost in my drawers. To the right I've hung my crochet circle with a quote from the podcast My Favorite Murder (great show if you like true crime).
The bottom left is housing my scissors and hole punches. Do I really need three pairs of scissors? Nope, but they're cute. Also above is my wire cutters for all of my artificial plant arrangements, which makes that job SOOOOO much easier. Also on this side is a binder ring holding my washi samples.
The middle is holding four rows of washi tape. The accessories pack included S hooks and then I purchased a dowel for 97 cents at Home Depot which my husband cut into 1 foot pieces. This freed up a ton of drawer space and also looks pretty cute.
The top right corner I've placed a Nate Berkus wall organizer from Target. I believe this was around $9.99 and includes the gold binder clips for photos. The clipboard is an older version from Target Dollar Spot with a card from a Lillie Henry order.
And lastly on the bottom right I have three baskets which were also purchased at Home Depot for $9.94 for the set. In the top I have two galvanized plant holders from Ikea which is holding my excess amount of pens and markers. The medium size basket is holding my thank you notes and envelopes I use for my Etsy store. And the smallest basket is holding a few more washi tapes since they fit perfectly.
Overall, I love this thing. I did have this board cut at 6ft in length so it could rest on the ground and not have to be fully secured into the wood paneling walls. My husband placed three nails in the top with a nail gun which leaves very small damage to the walls, but holds the board tightly in place. Peg boards are cheap and adorable way to help organize areas in your home, not just crafts! Show me your peg boards!
