{Wash, Dry, Press, Fold, Repeat}
Please tell me I'm not the ONLY one who feels this way about laundry!?
So, now that I've gotten a handle on the laundry room, I wanted to actually GET the supplies that go in there.
Yes... I didn't have an iorn, till about 2 weeks ago. haha. Don't judge.
(if you're wondering how I got along... let's just say that a large towel on the kitchen island works WONDERS!)
K... so I was out to find an ironing board... easy peezy right?
WRONG. I was DYING... have you LOOKED for a cute ironing board lately? Almost impossible.
I snagged up the $18 board complete with ugly cover at Walmart and thought... that...that was that.
I was a little peeved that I had spent ALL this time on a "cute" laundry room, and now I was gonna hang up an ugly huge ironing board... WITH a massive ironing board holder that stuck out about 6 inches from the wall!?!?
Uhhhh... no.
I was on the hunt. I looked a couple of places for a great ironing board cover, and almost gave up. And then... I went into to Tuesday Morning. It was my first time in their stores, and I was IMPRESSED! They have some AWESOME stuff at amazing deals!
I found this beauty of a cover, for under $9!!! woo hoo!
Problem solved.
Almost...
Now, I had the "how to hang it problem"
I don't think that this option is bad, by any means...
And by the way, the one at MY Walmart, wasn't even THIS good....
but I just didn't want all the "stuff" out. I'm pretty OCD like that. lol. I wanted it to look... like part of the decor, and less like... a laundry room.
I know, I know. It's weird.
So here's how I did it.
Oh... you want a tutorial...... Mmmkay!
First I got a piece of scrap board that we had left over from another project that we did HERE.
Painted it white...
Sanded the edges... and because I was bein' lazy, and didn't want to pull out the whole glaze mess... just to do this itty bitty board's edges, to get a distressed look, I whipped out the Distress Ink, that I use to make cards and such. lol.
It TOTALLY works. And is SO easy!
Just ran the ink pad on the edges, where I exposed the sanded wood, smugged it with my thumb a bit, and wa-la! Glazed look, without the pain of mixing glaze!
My last step was a coat of this clear spray.
I bought these simple hooks at Walmart... for I think... $2.00 a piece, and had the hubby drill them on the board.
Like this!
Added some vinyl, to remind me of what I SHOULD be doing, instead of blogging...
hung the whole board with those AMAZING double sided Command Picture hanging strips
and there you have it! :)
A simple, fast, easy, fashionable way to hang your new cutely covered ironing board!
You an purchase the Wash, Dry, Press, Fold, Repeat decal HERE
Ahem, Im trying really hard.
ReplyDeleteso cute it almost makes me want to iron.
ReplyDeletemaybe this will remind me to do it!!??
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Did you use the Cricut for your words? I love the Cricut but I've been too creative with it yet. ... Love your blog!! I came over from "Someday Crafts".
ReplyDeleteso hoping to win one of these because I'm so doing this project. I snagged my ironing board (sans pretty cover) from the side of the road - someone was throwing it away, haha! Perfectly good! But I've been stuck looking for a cute cover and how to hang it. Now I know. You've got the best ideas girlie!
ReplyDeleteI wish doing the laundry was as simple as saying those five words!

I just found you on someday crafts and I officially looked through EVERY post from your beginnings! I know, too much time on my hands... You are awesome! I love your personality and of course your decor! It's fresh and bright and happy. I'm with you on the browns, reds, creams being my comfort zone but every time I see a house in the blues, yellows, greens, and creams I fall in love. Thanks for your inspiration!

I really like this idea for storing the ironing board. My husband and I almost had heartattacks the other day when mine fell over and made a huge crashing sound! Great job!
ReplyDeleteLove that ironing board holder...very nice.
ReplyDeleteGREAT IDEA!!!!!I WOULD LOVE THIS!!

ReplyDeleteLove it! Hope I win it!!
ReplyDeleteThat is just too cute!! So much better than anything in the stores by a million miles. And I can't believe that it's being held on the wall by Command Hooks!!
ReplyDeleteAmazingly cute!
ReplyDeleteI am featuring this at somedaycrafts.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteWhat font is the vinyl in?
ReplyDeleteHi. I love what you did to your laundry room. You inspired me to do mine. I googled improvements for laundry room and I found the video for Studio 5. (You were so cute by the way). :) I have incorporated alot of your ideas. I do have a problem, though. You bought your ironing board from Walmart as well as your hooks. I have done the same but my ironing board does not fit on the hooks. Does yours? I know all are not the same, just wondering if you have that same problem? It would fit if I put pressure on it, but then scrapes as I pull it away. Not interested in scratching up my legs of my board even more than I already have. Any ideas? You are more crafty than me? Thanks.
ReplyDeletei shared this on my blog :)

I am inlove with your home! You should go to the Nate Berkus website and s=enter teh House Proud...maybe you could get some national coverage! I am a new homeowner and always thought I had to decorate in the "tuscan" style...cause that's what my mom did. I've recently been turned onto blogs and am LOVING what I see. I want your laundry room. :-P I told my husband that is my next project. Any tips or advice??? Visit my blog please! :) Have a blessed day!
ReplyDelete*gasp* I LOVE this!!! I put in a search ironing board blogspot and came across this! THANK YOU SO MUCH for this, I can't WAIT to do it!!!

Just pinned this--totally need one in my garage!
ReplyDeleteWhat font did you use? This is super cute!!! I already have everything to make one :)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
ReplyDeleteI made one and a clothespin missing sock board, too: see mine
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration.
This was a great inspiration! Because mine is in my craft room vs. a laundry room, I put "press on" on it. I love not having my ironing board on the floor anymore. Thanks for the great idea!
ReplyDeleteThe new seafoam edition is amazing!
ReplyDeleteWow it is so good and easy to use and doesn't take much space.
ReplyDeleteLove this project! I see the board is 21" long but how tall is it? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe word is not wa-la; it's "voila."
ReplyDeleteSince you're not selling the vinyl anymore, can you tell me what font and size you used to make this? Thanks!
