Ironing Board, Shmironing Board

Who need one anyway?  I’ve used an iron probably twice in the last five years!

This ugly orange ironing board was in the laundry room, behind a door in the spot where I want to build a much needed storage cabinet so it had to go.

I was trying to use it somewhere (because I had it) and the closet made sense.  But it was Uuugly!

So, I took care of that, because after my last house, that orangy oak makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit!

Hate it BUT that is just a personal preference.  I realize some people love it and that’s O.K!

Then I created a pocket of plastic (that I had to crawl in and out of) where I was going to quietly remove a chunk of drywall, add a couple horizontal braces and install the ironing board.  It was MAYBE going to go really smoothly, though I wasn’t holding my breath.

It didn’t!  The existing studs are too close together and  I DO NOT want to move the outlet or the stud so I’m not installing it.

Moving on.  These floors are just killin’ me…

  2. Oh the floors… I had to comment on that! You see I hate hate hate the orangey oak floors as well. And, well, my house is over 100-years-old and has the original oak floor. And it’s ORANGEY!!! Give me cherry or mahogany (the latter is better) but never orangey oak!!!
