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.
