what can you do with an old wooden ironing board?
         
What can you do with an old wooden ironing board ?   
IRON clothes, of courses ...         
 

No WAY !!! 

so, what did I do ?   
I made a cutting board. 

  a Farmers' MARKET cutting board.
 
36" long and about 12" wide ... this sucker is heavy. 
Left one side plain and will likely add another sign.


 The three small knotholes add a little bit of charm.
(middle hole is where I removed a brad holding the legs on).
I added a little bit more charm with cut marks.
... oiled and waxed

 
... drilled a one-inch hole in the handle for hanging.

Now WHAT? 
  
... laid it on my dining table. 

... added bleached leaves and burlap pumpkins from the Dollar Tree. 
I painted some white and some jade green. 


... threw out a little candy corn.


... added white candles in an old Mason jar. 

... added place settings for French Onion Soup and
now we are ready for a nice Fall supper.  

... remove the decoration and use the board to sit the food on.
 


Happy Fall ...
Thanks for the visit.
I hope you will say hello.

  2. As always Audrey you inspire me every time you create something fresh from something you had around. Of course I pinned your ironing board turned into an oversize bread board that makes a wonderful centre piece base.

  7. Hi Audrey!!!
    You've been on my mind, but I am not on the computer much these days. Hope you and B are doing well...would love to see you again sometime! Love that ironing board - I think I had a similar one and sold it in a garage sale. Should have kept it!
