I inherited my gramma H's wood ironing board. Currently I have it up against a wall with a chair in front. On the chair is a sad iron with a linen towel and a few vntage soap boxes. Loved your idea of adding your mom's dress to yours. Great find!

I was thinking of an idea for your ironing board. One thing I think that would look good is a nice wreath hanging from it.

I would have skippped all the way back to the truck and giggled in delight all the way home. I also wouldn't be past being rude to someone if they had thier hands on it after I had purchased it. What a beautiful piece. I am so glad you found it and cleaned it up. I just know you will find an amazing display for it. <br />We have had a couple of good snow storms but the snow never lasts more than 1-2 days. What is snow Ice Cream.

It looks great!! <br />I think that a crock with a label on it would look great sitting beside it...and I like the little brooms there too. I've had a few differnt things hanging from mine...had an apron, also had a towel there with some stitching on it, and of course, the doily that I have there now. <br />I can't wait to see it when you get it all decorated...have fun trying different things. I know whatever you do...it will be awesome.<br />You are a sweet-heart...thanks for mentioning mine on your blog.<br />hugs,<br />Cindycynthia lee designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03153290269651314939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667952653909164346.post-65789836165331528352012-03-01T19:51:30.868-06:002012-03-01T19:51:30.868-06:00You got a pretty board for nearly nothing.

I think I have seen one of these at a store in town, now you have me thinking. Maybe a little simple pip garland hanging from it? Then you could change with the seasons. But I do think your Mother's dress looks nice, but it would get so dirty...<br />MelindaMerry Wind Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13693488571364309791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667952653909164346.post-37252123546989377882012-03-01T17:42:33.431-06:002012-03-01T17:42:33.431-06:00Love your ironing board Angie..

They usually run $5 -$8 each. I use them for display at shows or paint them. Your cleanup made a big difference! I am so jealous of your warm weather--it has been drizzly and grey all day here.

Then you can put a doily or hanky or homespun or an old dishtowel hanging out a bit from the galvanized pail. Also if you could find an old box of soap and a small farm stool would look good with the pail on top of it. You may be able to find old soap boxes on Etsy or Ebay if you don't have a prim store nearby. Just some thoughts.GennieGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12170827561300132048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667952653909164346.post-12267869833300275722012-03-01T15:08:10.021-06:002012-03-01T15:08:10.021-06:00Hi Angie!

So I guess we're both nuts but I don't mind being nutty when I find that piece I've been looking for too. I found a board last year but I covered it with a cover and I should probably take it off. I like the wood too but I am limited for space in my laundry room. I hope you find the pieces you need to make your display. I was a little disappointed myself as well that we didn't have a nice snow storm this year but hopefully next year. I am looking forward to spring though because of the sales. I miss not going to them. Hope you have a great weekend too!GennieGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12170827561300132048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667952653909164346.post-74558081052734960492012-03-01T14:53:43.724-06:002012-03-01T14:53:43.724-06:00Hi Angie - Your 'new' ironing board looks ...Hi Angie - Your 'new' ironing board looks great all cleaned up and displayed in the house!

I just have washer/dryer in hall with louver doors. Sure wish I had a mud room. Haven't got it decorated yet either. Can't wait to see what you do to yours. Guess I am just waiting on inspiration too. We had bad storms last night and more on the way for Friday. I so much had rather have cold than all these storms as the seasons change.
