I have one whole wall with peg space.

Ksdot: What a lovely studio, designed to use every inch but still maintaining a openness. Thanks for the peak.
Suzie: I'm not dreaming that big, not that I couldn't fill up a whole wall.

Thank you all for the advice and ideas. Especially love the pictures. I believe I will go ahead with my plan for pegboard. If I ever get the room in some kind of order I will post pictures! This board and its members are the best!

i so agree! I love, love mine! I love using the baskets too. You can see the extra piece that was cut off. I want to use it for thread but only wall space holds family photos. Haven't been able to bring myself to take them down...yet.

I am in the middle of a reorganization in my craft room right now, but have always had a half sheet of peg board on the wall and hang lots of tools on it. I am sure it will go back up after the room gets a fresh coat of paint. The other half sheet is on the carpet under my chair so it will roll easily. Works better than one of the plastic ones and doesn't slide around on the carpeting.

Love using peg board, I hang as much as I can so I see it and use it.

Just wanted to share something I saw on another site. Since I am carpentry challenged, I have always shied away from the framing part. I saw someone use the "binding" method using hot glue. What does everyone think of this as a method to finish the edges?

Snooze & Emilias: your pegboards are works of art!! What wonderful organization!! I have been looking at pegboards the past month or so and will probably get a 4x4 and see how that goes. I think it would be easier to mount 2 4x4 (if needed) boards than one 4x8 - they are heavier than they look. Thank you all for sharing your thoughts. We just moved two months ago and it really is helpful.

I have a center bearing wall in my basement (sewing room) so I threw up some pegboard on both sides to house all my embroidery threads, rulers, quilting items, etc. I'm getting ready to add a few more pegboards under the embroidery thread pegboards as my quilting company changed the size of their spools so they no longer fit in my rolling cart properly. I bought my hooks from the Office Supply Store online as I could get them much cheaper than local plus they have a number of different sizes to choose from.

Here are a couple pics of mine.

Airwick, you can get pegboard at Home Depot, Ace Hardward, basically any lumber yard should have some. Possibly even WalMart but don't count on that idea. I ordered my hooks at Office Supply online as I found them cheaper and more sizes to choose from. If and when you put your pegboard up onto a wall, remember to add at least a 1 inch spacer on the back side so your hooks can slide and not hit the wall behind. I framed mine just for kicks since it would become part of my sewing room. I'm adding new ones under my embroidery thread racks as I need more for additional quilting threads. Bought 1 x 2's and had my neighbor route a groove down the center of it the width of the pegboard to slide into, cut the 1 x 2 to size necessary and will hang them up hopefully this week. I miss cut one board so have to purchase another one to replace it. I know measure twice, cut once. When will I ever learn?????
