Hey guys!  I’m back to share a tutorial for the super cute Pegboard that I made for my friends nursery!

If you missed the West Elm Inspired Dresser that I made with it, you can clickHEREfor the tutorial!  This pegboard was sooooo easy, under $20 and it only took an afternoon to build!  I love it for the nursery but it would be cute in an office or a kids room too!

Here’s how I made it!

I purchased a 2×4 pegboard from Lowe’s

and spray painted 2-coats of our favorite, Heriloom White in satin. Yes, the board is already plain white but I wanted it to be a cream color to match the dresser ?

I purchased 2 – 1×4 @ 8ft. pine boards at Lowe’s and cut two boards at 21″ and 2 boards at 45″.

To cut our boards, we use our Miter Saws!  You can check out our detailed video tutorial on how to use this sawHERE!

If you aren’t ready to make a purchase like this, you can buy this hand saw and miter box below.  This is the perfect project for a saw like this:

Amazon.com WidgetsAfter the boards were cut, I just drilled pocket holes with myKreg Jiginto one end of each board.   We also have a video tutorial on how to use a Kreg Jig that you can check outHERE!   It does not matter which end, just 2 holes at the end of each board and you can piece them together after!

I stained them with another favorite, Dark Walnut and I used my Corner Cat to distress all of the edges!

Now, just piece them together withKreg Jigpocket hole screws. I like the pattern that I used.  It gives it a more industrial/rustic feel.  Notice, each board overlaps the other.  It is not the typical pattern that you would use to frame something out.

Now, just flip the frame over and use 1-inch wood screws to drill the pegboard onto the back of the frame!

Loving it!  Here, you can see the pattern of the frame that I mentioned above!

To finish this off, I purchased a 1×2 @ 6ft. to trim the top with.  Just cut it to the exact length of the frame and nail it to the top (keeping the back of the board flush with the back of the frame.  It will overhang on the front.  I used my brad nailer to add the trim ?

Finish it off by distressing the trim and that’s it!

I dressed it up with pegboard baskets and peg hooks that I found at Lowe’s (on the garage storage isle).  I’m loving it!!!  It makes the perfect changing station for my friends new baby, adds a unique look to the room and it’s so versatile so it can grow with him!

I’m getting ideas for all kinds of places that I could use these in my home ?  If you love this pegboard, I would LOVE your pins!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
