Lots of ideas have floated around my head about the storage underneath my perfect ironing surface. And I didn't even wake up once during the night with ideas - guess it's was not an earth shattering decision!
I finally decided on cube/cubby hole storage. Some are closed in the back and others aren't.
The open ones are perfect for long things like freezer paper and appliqué mats.
I keep my water for ironing in Dasani bottles. It is tap water - I do NOT buy water for pressing!
Organizing is a never ending process, isn't it? I actually do buy water for pressing. I buy distilled water. Our water is so hard here, that if I use tap water, my iron gets white crusties on it! Using distilled water solved that problem:)
ReplyDeletep.s. that big narrow table looks perfect for ironing!
ReplyDeleteI really like your cubby hole storage under that great ironing board of yours!
ReplyDeletePerfect use of that empty space ... good thinking, too, to have some cubes with open backs. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteI use several of those cubbies stacked on top of each other and beside each other with a plywood piece to make the top solid as my cutting table. With the mat on top do the wood it's a big surface and works great. Blessings, Marlene
ReplyDeleteLooks great. I need to make a table like that. I have been holding off, but I will really like it when I finally have a rectangular ironing surface!
ReplyDeleteWhen you get it done, you will love it! I'm so glad I finally have one. Hope you get one soon! ~Jeanne
DeleteDH made a larger board for ironing and I can't imagine how I did without it for so long. The 60" length is wonderful and the fact that it's a rectangle is perfect for all those large fabric pieces!!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree! It is so nice to be able to iron the whole width of the fabric, baby quilts and some lap quilts… I love it! ~Jeanne
DeleteLove your ironing area! I really need to con... I mean convince hubby to make me something like that.
