My New DIY Ironing Station

 

Last Saturday a warm day 

snuck in-between 

all of our cold weather.

I used it 

to go out to Steve's shop 

and scavenger wood to create 

a new ironing station.

This is what I had before.

I was bound and determined 

to not buy anything 

only using materials I could find 

here at home and in Steve's shop. 

This was all the paint 

that I could find. 

I ended up watering it down 

to make it work.

Here it is finished.

And here it is complete 

with baskets and containers 

that I already had. 

It's going to make 

my small sewing room 

so much more efficient. 

And it didn't 

cost me a single penny.

You may have noticed 

that I have wheels on one side 

and not on the other. 

I saw a cart on Amazon

made this way. 

It kept me from having 

to put locking wheels on one side, 

which I couldn't find anyway.

I needed handles to make it 

easier to lift it up 

and 

wheel it around. 

I couldn't find any old handles 

in the shop 

but I did find these two coat hooks. 

I just installed them upside down 

so that I could put my hands under

 them and lift. 

It works great !

I'm really happy with the results 

and the fact that in helping Steve 

with his projects through the years,

 

I truly learned a lot. 

I'm not a carpenter 

but I do have the ability 

to build rough projects.

That's it for this post. 

Thank you for stopping by. 

Never get in a rut 

and think you're not capable 

of doing something

Before you first give it a try:)

God bless you all 

You're blogging sister,
