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.
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.

What a fantastic idea, Audrey! And it also makes such a cute centerpiece for a fall table. I actually love an old wooden ironing board too! Hope you are having a good week!
ReplyDeleteAs 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.

Such a wonderful idea and the cutting board is perfect.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Audrey. I love your new header - how cozy! What a great repurpose for the ironing board as well! I have my mother's wood one her dad made. Guess I won't cut that one up, ha! Really like your cutting board- it makes a great centerpiece on your table. Hope you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

ReplyDeleteHi Audrey!!!
ReplyDeleteYou'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!
Love,
Revi
