My hubby cut a 4X8 sheet in half, then he spray painted it the color of my choosing, which was a cheery pink color. Then he framed it out and hung it on a wall for me. I love it. I have a limited flat storage space so I use the pegboard for hanging everything from needles to rotary cutters, to painters tape, to measuring tapes. Anything that can be hung on it, will be hung on it. Oh yes, I also hang my rulers on it. I love my pegboard. And, it can be as plain as when you bought it, or you can paint it and decorate is to be a real decor focal point. One of these day, I want to take everything off of mine and paint some flower or something along those line to make it even more festive.
