My husband and I made these lights out of pegboard four years ago and my love of pegboard still has not subsided. These were very simple to make and fun to put together. A hand saw, some wood glue and the appropriate wiring and these can be put together in one night. I have contemplated painting them in the past, but have stuck with the original white. I also love the natural brown that pegboard usually comes in.

Here is another way to implement pegboard for a new use in your home. This Design*Sponge example implements bungee cords to display some fun items and magazines. They also provide the step by step for creating this fun wall organization unit.
