Repurposing an Ironing Board
As you can probably tell from this blog, I love repurposing things. It lets me be creative and thrifty at the same time. My laundry room had become overwhelmed with odds and ends. It was clutter I needed but wasn't sure where to put it. My solution was a homemade peg board.
I buy wrinkle free clothes and never iron. My ironing board was taking up space and collecting dust. So I took some screws and hung it on the wall. I went to store and invested in some "S" hooks, baskets, and hangers that were designed for peg boards.
I now have a place to hang scissors, tape, dog grooming supplies, ties, etc. As it is metal, magnets would also work on this. I love that it adds some whimsy and charm to the laundry room. A regular wooden peg board could not pull that off. It's very convenient and useful.
