Organization Idea: Pegboard

A multi-function space requires excellent organization.  Since my craft room also doubles as my guest room, I must ensure that there is adequate storage for all my supplies, and adequate space for guests. Always on the lookout for simple yet smart storage solutions, when I saw a white pegboard for $1, I knew it would be perfect in my craft/ guest room.  Pegboards are great because they provide storage and organization, without taking up square footage.


 This wall as you enter the room didn't serve much purpose, so I decided to put the pegboard here.  However, I needed to remember that this was going to be the first thing people saw as they entered the room.  Because this is where my guests stay, I wanted it to still be inviting.


I picked out some of the crafty supplies that I use frequently.  But also considered materials that were colorful and pretty to look at.


Next, I laid everything out to ensure a nice symmetry and that it would all fit.  Because a pegboard is so flexible, there wasn't a lot of pressure to get everything perfect.  It can always be changed as needed.



Anyone else rockin' a new pegboard?

Double Duty: Guest Room and Sewing Space

Many of us need rooms that can serve many functions.  I have recently made a few inexpensive and easy changes to help my guest room double as my studio space.  I love to have a comfortable space for guests to relax, however it seems that my guest room is only used a few times per year.  Perhaps that says something about me...haha.  Either way, I don't want to dedicate a whole room to one purpose that gets little use.  So here are a few ideas that could help to make your room multi-purpose.
