Create a Multipurpose Ironing Board Station in Your Laundry Room! by Cecilia Cannon

A few months ago, I re-decorated my laundry room. I wanted it to be bright, cheery and chic – and, of course, functional. My laundry space is not huge, but large enough that I've always kept my ironing board open. I not only use it as a folding station, but also as a gift-wrapping table and sewing machine station. But nothing was within arms' reach.

Off I went to my local hardware store, where I found a nail box, wire crate, hooks and more. I nailed them all to the wall above my ironing board and, within an hour, I had economically created a multipurpose and functional ironing board station!
