Remember week 1 of the One Room Challenge? One of my objectives was to install a pegboard to hide that ugly pipe.
Well, I did it (I mean, we did it because I couldn’t have done it alone! Thanks, honey 😊)
For the One Room Challenge, hosted by Calling it Home, I’m giving my craft room a makeover. Or more accurately, I’m making a craft room that can be called a craft room! You can see the recaps here:

How to install the pegboard
This post contains some affiliate links for your convenience and at no extra cost for you. Click here to read my full disclosure policy.
What you need
- 2 x 3 studs
- Screws
- Wall anchors
- Pegboard
- Pegboard hooks and accessories
- Spacers
So first, I bought 2- 2×3. They were the same depth as the pipe. We installed the 2×3 using screws. We also used wall anchors when the 2×3 were not aligned with the wall studs.
Then we cut the pegboard to the size we needed. We also used spacers to make sure the 2×3 didn’t block any holes of the pegboard.
Once installed, we fixed the Billy CD/DVD shelf unit that we had for sooo long on both sides. But the pictures for that will be for the reveal week only! 😉
Now, here’s a sneak peek at what the pegboard looks like. Can you believe I have too much space?
Any suggestions on what I could hang on my new pegboard?

Such a clever way to hide it and I love the peg board
Thank you Amber!
Basement piping is so difficult to work around and this is a wonderful solution. Love it.
That’s right! Thank you Leanna
This is brilliantly clever! Thanks for sharing this at the #HappyNowLinkUp
Thanks Jen!
What a smart idea! I’ve been wanting to add pegboard to our storage room for quite some time, and we ended up with ugly pipes running outside the slightly less ugly soffit. This looks like a fantastic solution. Thanks so much for sharing at the #happynowlinkup!
Thanks, Leslie!
How clever!
Thanks! 🙂
GREAT idea! I’m hoping to add some peg board to my sewing/wrapping area for a little organization help – it’s GREAT way to hide something too…please come share at Reader Tip Tuesday: http://www.jodiefitz.com/2017/08/22/reader-tip-tuesday-party-crafts-recipes/
Hope to see you there xo
Thanks Jodie. I did enter your party! Thanks for the invite!
Thanks Mary! My next step will be to hide them all the way to the ceilling. I still trying to figure it out!
This is such a clever idea. I also have pipes like that but they are in the corner and I don;t know what to do with them. I really like your solution. Pinnning.
