Without directions or guidelines, designing and executing a pegboard so that everything lines up cleanly takes a lot of thought. Fortunately, Justine's husband Chad has done the work for you. Total time to make one? About four or five hours. Not easy, but definitely doable in one day.
1. Sand baseboard and create a template
The border is measured from the edge of the board to the center of each hole.
Small center holes mark where to drill larger peg holes.
2. Drill holes from both sides.

3. Sand holes
The completed baseboard. You're halfway there!
4. Cut dowels into six-inch pegs
5. Cut six-inch lengths for shelf boards
6. Cut shelves into various widths.
7. Sand the shelves
8. Drill holes in shelf pegs with countersink bit

10. With countersink bit, drill holes in each corner
Congratulations, you've finished this not-so-easy DIY!
11. Drill base to wall, and arrange shelves and pegs
