Thoughts on this cabinet width/ironing board problem
Comments (2)Could you just have the ironing board company send you a smaller ironing board that would work with the already installed hardware? Or use the hardware that is on the too big board and have a carpenter fashion one from wood and attach the hardware to that? Seems like it would be a lot less costly than replacing the cabinet....See MoreIroning Board on a Wall
Comments (1)Very nice!! I like your washboards too!! Nice place to do laundry. My laundry area is in garage & I have carpeted the area but need to redo the cabinet above them. I'm in Ca. so it isn't cold. DH made a 3 part bin to hold dirty clothes years ago. I stained it fruitwood & holds about 2 loads in each bin. It is heavyweight pegboard on frame that is narrower at bottom & wide at top so easy to reach in & get the clothes. So ends look like large triangle with narrow point edge cut off so about 20 inches at bottom maybe 30 in. at top,probably 36 in high(I ought to measure it!!LOL). The holes in pegboard keep the clothes exposed to enough air so they don't develop odors, but we don't have very much humidity out here. Jan have a large load washer...See Moreupdate this built in ironing board cabinet
Comments (4)I looked at your other thread and what I'd do is have a solid wood door made for the cabinet - paint door and trim to match wall or other trim. Hang the stained glass door in a window. If it doesn't work with your decor you could sell it. If you use it somewhere else in your house and have white trim there you could paint the trim to match....See Moreupdate this built in ironing board cabinet
Comments (13)I do like it. I would like to use it as is as it is unusual and I can't imagine where I would hang the stained glass separately anyway- doesn't go with the rest of my decor that well. I think the yellowish brown pebbly looking glass flanking the diamond shaped piece reminds me too much of my parents sidelights in their front door of their 1970's ranch. I'd like to update it so it isn't screaming 70's yellow and brown I guess. The other place I was thinking of putting it was in my sewing room and then I could go with a really fun color maybe. I am glad to know people think I could get away with painting it white/wall color as that was my original thought. I am trying to be brave enough to paint it a fun color. I'd like to paint it b/f it is hung in the wall as I think it would be easier that way....See Morejosielcpc
