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…
I take it Wes does his own ironing then? 😉
If neither of you do it please share your secret – I hate ironing!
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!!!
