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…
LOL orangy oak LOL! I wish you could come to Utah now that we are taking the plunge and building our own home! I need advice from the queen!!! I’m feeling a touch overwhelmed by all of the decisions. I’ve posted a few pics of what we r thinking. springerfanclub.blogspot.com/2012/01/journey-begins.html
EEK!!!
Seriously, you crack me up. No ironing board for me. Only for a very special occasion!

OOOOHHHHH! I need one of these! I tossed my rickety ironing board just before we moved. It never really got used much except for sewing/crafts and ironing on girl scout patches. Just seemed much too bulky to bother with anymore. I had been using a towel on my granite counters to do the occasional ironing, but really like this idea much better. Thanks!
My child was four when he first saw me iron and had to ask what the ironing board was! That’s what my steam dryer is for.
Me too and I have an ironing board for that room…or maybe THIS will go in there. Epiphany!
