4 ft X 8ft sheets of pegboard are about $18 at home depot. I had them cut it in half (they will for free!) so it would be easier to handle.
I used my handy dandy sprayer (I’ve used the sprayer on my boys’ dressers, our front door, the green entryway table, and the cart on the front porch and it’s still going strong)to quickly give it a coat of color.
I keep a roller on hand for any drips
I didn’t drill the screws all the way in at the beginning so the hooks would have room to insert easily
I often see
these wire baskets at thrift stores -- they are perfect for pegboards!

After everything was hung, then we tightened the screws against the wall. For bats, I threw them in a bucket in the corner by the garage door. My husband likes basketballs and football kept inside to protect them…
and there we go. I know it won’t always look like this, but I love that everything at least has a home when we tidy up.
we're taking it one wall at a time -- more to come later this month with the tools, yard stuff, etc.
We keep our bats inside in our Utah winters also. Some of them can be damaged by the cold.
ReplyDeleteMelissa,
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful is that! I LOVE the color. We just have hooks we screwed straight into the drywall for most of our stuff, but I might have to reconsider after seeing yours! What a cute idea. Love it. Looking forward to seeing more! =)

I just want to say that I am glad that you are still getting things organized and put away even though you've been moved in for a little bit. We moved at the end of July and I'm still unpacking! I just got shelves put in my craft closet this weekend so I can finally unpack all of those boxes, but there are many many many more to go. I've been feeling so frustrated by still not being able to find so many things and annoyed that it's taking so long. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one!
ReplyDeleteGood to know, thank you
ReplyDeleteYes! Still unpacking, sorting, moving stuff around, it takes a couple of years for me to be truly settled and see what works and what doesn't. :)
ReplyDeletethis is such a cool idea! I have been needing a way to organize our sports junk, er, stuff. Thanks for the tutorial.
