- I had a lovely afternoon today, we all have commitments and time pressures and a couple of free hours is worth so much. I had an enforced 3 hours at home as I was waiting for the delivery of our new boiler, my son was going to nanny and grandads and Mr M was at work, completely home alone!
- So, I decided to do my own little project...
I've gained so much inspiration from other blogs that I follow and when my ironing board looked like it had seen better days rather than go straight to the Argos catalogue I thought I'd see what I could do to renovate it. The cheapest ironing board on the website was around £20 but mine was still in good condition and perfectly serviceable it was just the covers and foam that had seen better days. I found new foam, a felt liner and a new cover on ebay for around £15. I bought some cheap gingham to go over the cover as my ironong board is on show in the kitchen and I like it to be a feature.
- Total cost £23!
- Here are the before and after photos. :-)
