Today I am thrilled to be guest posting at the fabulous Remodelaholic.com again on a project I love!
If you are like me, who can never have enough room on a desk, then this is for you! It’s a simple and easy diy that not only helps to reduce clutter on your desk, but also adds a unique piece of modern decor on your wall!
If you are super organized, unlike me, you can use it on your desk or as a book end!
The brilliant idea of making a wall hanging pen holder came from my dear hubby.It’s made with a piece of reclaimed cedar fence post!
MY LATEST VIDEOSAnd of course, I am also sharing my favorite part – some diy failures!! Check out the full tutorial at Remodelaholic, and see how a failure is always a stepping stone to a success!

This is fabulous, I could do with one of these as I always put pens in a miniature bucket I have but they always go missing. I love your DIYs, you’re so creative, it’s wonderful.
