Bye Bye Ironing Board!
I have been in love with these blanket ladders for years now! I always keep my eyes open at antique stores and am ALWAYS deterred by the price tag.
(Thank you Pinterest for inflation on highly sought out broken and old things like ladders and Scrabble tiles!)
A couple of weeks ago I found this old nasty ironing board 50% at an estate sale! $2 WHOLE BUCKS. Well ok! I'm sure I got a lot of funny looks as this smelly thing was getting dragged toward my car, but TWO BUCKS!
I cut off this nasty cover, scrubbed it clean of all the spider webs and dirt, and had Ethan separate the board from the legs! I threw on some things I had around the house and VOILA! BLANKET LADDER! Now just to ditch the XBOX and upgrade to Apple TV just for a cooler remote! HAHAHA. #butseriously
I am so excited with how this turned out!
Don't be afraid to purchase trash. Ignore the glares.
Remove the rust, find the gem, and fill your home!
Side note: I can't wait to show you how I intend to use the ironing board top :) But that's a story for another day!
HAPPY TUESDAY!
xoxo, Kate
