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…
Exactly! LOL
My whole mail floor is red oak too. I tried to talk myself into living with it but I just can’t. I don’t know what I will do but I have to do something. That’s 4sure!
Well I love a nice dark wood but I think you are talking about the crappy dark wood that almost looks like it’s painted brown (or it is painted brown) not the beautiful kind that pops into my head when I think “beautiful dark wood”. It sounds like you’ve god a lot of work to do painting all that dark wood. LOL
It’s 3/4″ wood but I don’t want to mess with sanding now that the closet is done. But maybe someday.
Possibility to refinish? or is it that laminate crap?
