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!
And 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!
Before you go, you may love to check out other fun DIY ideas for your wall, like this wall cabinet with open shelves–
Or, this simple Birch Forest Shadow Box made with paper!

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.
