June Cleaver I Am Not!
Yesterday was all about ironing board cover candy. Today it’s ‘June Cleaver I Am Not’!
Want to say you own an ironing board? But stay in the closet about not using it? How about doing this instead.
Pick up a vintage or antique wooden board.
And then let your imagination run wild…
Here are some ideas to get you started.
Add a perky colour to the bottom…
Or the top…
And a pretty display, and you’ve got ironing board love 😉
If you like a little authenticity…
Maintain the industrial vibe by keeping the metal frame exactly as is.
Or showcase the retro in you…
With a collection of objects from the past.
If you like to garden and play in the dirt…
Your ironing board will make a great potting bench at a perfect height!
And inside a perfect plant stand.
Or how about this clever idea?
It’s a lamp brought to us by Donna from Funky Junk Interiors (Canadian Design & Lifestyle Bloggers West)!
If you like books (and Linda and Kristie I know that you do!)…
A wooden ironing board makes a great book stand.
Or you can make a colourful statement with a metal board like this one does!
It’s all about vintage and vignettes…
With a little fun thrown in on the side.
Maybe your house number, or a welcome sign would fit in this menu’s place.
Just know you can do this…
Instead of this…
And still say you use an ironing board!
So which post would be you? Yesterday’s or today’s?
It’s about coming home… If you want a remarkable space that tells your story, contact me to see how we can help!

Thank you Luciane! It’s always so much fun to see what creative ideas are out there. We have so many talented people in this world 🙂
Who knew…the perfect solution for both my underused ironing board and overflow book problem…the ironing board as book shelf…love it!
Wow! The things people think of!! I don’t think I would EVER have thought to use an old, vintage ironing board for any of these purposes. I really like the old wooden ones you found that are used as foyer tables. They look fabulous!

Aren’t they awesome? We were out browsing antique stores this past weekend and there was one displayed similar to some of these… flowers, books, old photograph… It looked so fun and welcoming 🙂
