DIY Decorating Ideas

1. Vintage, rustic storage boxes are very popular in home decor now, but they can be quite expensive and hard to find. You can make your own for fraction of the price and get the exact size you want. Vintage Wood Crate Tutorial

4. Pegboards are great for organizing all sorts of things, but they don’t always look that attractive. Give one lots of style by covering it with a bold fabric, like this chevron pattern. Plan out where you want each item and make tiny slits in the fabric to allow for the hooks. Fabric Covered Pegboard Tutorial
