Skådis pegboard stand as awesome craft room divider

Can’t drill into walls? Here’s how to make a stand for the SKÅDIS pegboard.

I bought some attachments to put the SKÅDIS pegboard at the end of my desk but my desk top was too thick.

And I didn’t want to hang it on the wall as I like to change my craft room/ dressing room around all the time. So I repurposed a clothes rail, previously used for hanging houseplants, to create a pegboard stand.

I love that I can move it anywhere I need to.

IKEA items used:

SKÅDIS pegboard (75×56)
SKÅDIS bungee cord accessories

Other materials and tools:

Habitat Arnie clothes rail (£12 on Amazon) (or any clothes rack of the appropriate width)
S-hooks for hanging

Pegboard stand instructions:

Hang the pegboard from the clothes rail using the S-hooks.

Use a couple of SKÅDIS bungee cord accessories on the sides to help keep it vertical against the weight of the items hanging on the board.

And that’s it!

More options:

You can hang an additional peg board below the first one using more S-hooks for a full-height room divider.

How long and how much did it cost?

It took five minutes once I had the idea. The peg board and clothes rail were each £12. I already had the S-hooks and I think the bungee attachments were £3 for a pack of 3.

What to pay special attention to?

Really heavy items on the pegboard will cause it to sway back or bend. The bungee cords aren’t really strong enough to prevent that. You will need stronger side attachments if you plan to hang tools or heavy items.

Looking back, would you have done it differently?

If I can find some attractive zip-tie attachments for the sides I may use those to replace the bungee cords.

Happy hacking!

Hackers Help: How to attach headboard to ESPEVÄR mattress base?

I’m trying to figure out if a headboard can be attached to an Espevar Mattress Base , and how to accomplish that. I’m looking at a standard metal headboard (because I just prefer the look of curved metal to what IKEA offers) and am not interested in a slat base with just a mattress on top, and a wall mounted headboard is not an option due to renting. Thanks for any help! ~ Amy *** Hi Amy I’ve not seen the ESPEVÄR in person but I believe it is possible to attach a headboard to it. From the website, the ESPEVÄR looks like a regular wooden slatted mattress base under a bed base slipover. As to how to attach it, that will depend on the fittings on the metal headboard. So you will just need to get the right hardware to secure the metal headboard to the wooden frame. And make some small openings on the slipcover to let the fixtures to go through.

Should You Decorate for the Holidays If Your Home is on the Market?

‘Tis the season to be jolly, but should your home reflect the joy of the season if you’re also trying to sell it? If you love to decorate for the holidays, missing out on this once-a-year opportunity might sound like torture. On the other hand, you don’t want to miss the chance to sell your home because of your decorations. So, should you decorate for the holidays if your home is on the market? We’ve got some “nays,” “yeas,” and “other considerations.” No, Don’t Decorate An elaborately-decorated home in Houston. Image: Regina Gust Designs Our first two realtors are against decorating for the holidays if you’re trying to sell your home. According to Anita Springate-Renaud, licensed partner and broker at Engel & Völkers Toronto Central , your festive decor can distract buyers from looking at the home’s raw design. “Elaborate decorations can distract and shift a prospective buyer’s focus away from what they should be looking at when shopping for a property.” So what should they

Kitchen renovation reveal: Rhombus wall steals the show

It’s been a while since I did a home tour. If you’ve missed the previous reveals, you can catch up with my Master Bathroom remodel and Guest Bathroom reveal . Today, let’s focus on my kitchen renovation. Hands down, this is the most used room in my home. I spend crazy amounts of time in here, even when I’m not cooking. Just off to the side of the kitchen I converted an awkward space into a reading nook . In the mornings, I sit and read or pray and meditate, before it gets too warm. And on the other side, there’s a work-in-progress plant wall / indoor garden which also takes up a lot of my time. So, all in all, lots of traffic in here, and that’s not even counting cooking and eating time. The kitchen is definitely my favourite room, because the transformation is huge and I love how it turned out. Kitchen renovation: The before House 17 when I first got it, actually had 2 kitchens, which is a very common “Asian” home concept. First, the “dry kitchen”, which is where you make simp
