Pegboard studio storage spiff-up

I love these new pegboard walls that I copied from Lisa Stamper Meyer‘s studio! They have made a huge difference in the storage space by providing hanging places and supply screening. Here is a side view and back view – you can see how well the pegboard walls hide a multitude of stuff!

And here’s what you need if you, too, want to make a storage wall shelf like these.

A metal shelf, 4’x8’x18″ – I bought mine from Costcohere’s a link. These shelves are on casters so you can roll them around easily if you need to. When I bought them, they were $98 each, very sturdy – I think they hold 1200 pounds.

A sheet of 4×8′ pegboard, primed white. I bought mine from Home Depot. Here’s a link for those. They are a little bit unwieldy to manage but if you have access to a truck, you can just lay them in the back. You will probably need a helper – Mike helped a lot with this project.

A bag of 8″ cable tieshere’s a link. This is the neatest trick. You just thread the cable ties through the pegboard holes and pull them tight to the shelf posts. We used eight ties per shelf, three on the sides (top, middle, bottom) and two in the center to hold them steady.

Lisa even attached brush holder to her pegboards using cable ties – she’s an organizing genius! If you have any questions about this easy project, send me an email.

  1. It looks beautiful – you were a busy girl this weekend! It was necessity – I am good at organizing because I have so much stuff!

  2. Love the addition of the pegboard to the rolling shelves! I have plans for one of these shelf units to corral some plastic drawers so they are more mobile. I will now be adding the pegboard to the back for additional storage/organization. Brilliant!!!

  3. My brother suggested I would possibly like this web site. He used to be totally right. This publish truly made my day. You can not consider simply how so much time I had spent for this info! Thank you!
