Because if you can, somewhere there's a decorator on the lam. I feel sorry for that poodle and beagleish-looking thing on that hideously patterned bedspread, surrounded by more hideously patterned accoutrements. The final insult? Pegboard. Nothing says "creepy dented-can store" like pegboard.

Like everything else, pegboard has its place. I have a sheet of it on my art room wall. I would NOT use it as a headboard.

Okay - but seriously, I want that little pink horse!

Not only would you hit your head on the shelf, but the shelf is made of glass and I've known plenty of pegboards whose grip on their pegs was hardly secure. One false elbow while you're trying to relax in this corner and you'll spend the rest of the day cleaning up.

Salmon - not my first color choice.
Plus, you'd hit your head on that shelf.

Actually--that's not too bad--just too pinkish! If it weren't in such a major animal organ color scheme it wouldn't be too bad.
