Hmmmmm

Thanks to my sister Nan - I think I have a solution to my ironing board dilemma.  

This table

and 2 of these

This is a reversible tabletop board from Polder.  I would use the rectangle side.  It is 17 X 24 —- the right width but too short.  However, two placed end to end would be perfect.  I figure I can brace them together and make a new cover to fit over the entire length.  Or maybe  leave them separate.  I only need the extra length when pressing the larger quilts…usually I’m just pressing pieces.  And I like Nan’s idea only have it out when I need it.  It’s slim enough to tuck in the closet. 

I need the entire setup to be about 35-36” tall. The table is 31” with adjustable levelers on the legs and  the ironing board is 4.25” tall.  I think this will work.  Thanks Nan! 

The painting is almost done.  The walls were finished yesterday including the closet.  The latter reminded me of childbirth.   I hope to get the woodwork done today. Yep - more tan.  Actually it is the same color as Tom’s office.  I like this shade and it makes a good transition to the family room blue. 

P.S. You can get the ironing board from Target - online only.   Probably some other places too.  I could not find it available at other box stores, but  the good news Target will let me return it to any of their stores so I ordered one (as a test) to see if this idea works as good as it sounds.
