board & paint – $12
hardware – $9
magnetic strip for tools – $9
baskets – $2
shelf – $8
brackets – $4
I organized everything so that the things I use the most are near the edge of the board and lower. Higher up and toward the middle of the board houses items I use less frequently.
The little baskets hold rubber stamps, molds and paints that I use for beadmaking. Mason jars, bamboo pencil holders and ceramic dishes hold items on the shelf.
I painted the peg board a bright color to avoid the ‘garage’ look. To see it in living color and read more about my studio makeover visit my blog.
*Expenses for the peg board display only – there were shelves, plastic bins and a broken window that added up!

March 11, 2010 at 4:35 pmConsidering that I just spent a whopping $585 on something that will organize me pretty, you win the race on this one, dear Heather! Looks great. I can see that much creating will happen in this space! Enjoy the day! Erin

March 11, 2010 at 4:56 pmAwesome! My biggest problem is putting tools and beads away after I'm done……

March 11, 2010 at 5:09 pmWhat's that saying? "if your desk isn't cluttered you probably aren't doing your job."
I say if your workspace is cluttered you can't do your job.
I hope you can still find everything. I don't what to see a sign in your Etsy shop that says,
"shop closed til I can find my stuff to make beads."

March 12, 2010 at 2:01 pmErin, I would much rather have the printers cabinet than a peg board anyday!
Jeannie, I worked really hard to design this space to work with me. It won't stay this clean, but I don't want it to look like a natural diaster ever again.
Beth, no one is going to make you clean your room! I needed the mental space to work on my book. I feel like it's like the nesting pregnant women do!
