Vintage Ironing Board Upcycle Projects
Several vintage ironing board upcycle projects (you might even be able to do some with new boards as well)
What a cool storage or display table.
This is a beautiful sign made from an ironing board.
Look at this ironing board desk or message center!!!!

MORE RESCUED PROJECTS
Vintage Ironing Board Mug Rack Upcycle:
- Pulled all the layers of fabric off (find a vintage board here- Ironing Board)
- Gently removed the broken legs (which will be saved to make something funky!).
- Predrilled holes for the mounting brackets
- Attached the World Market adjustable rack (scored great price due to bent part).
- Screwed everything down
- Touched up screw heads with black paint
- Attached it to the wall with some molly screws (quite heavy once mugs are added)
It can hang vertical or horizontal (the hooks move 360degrees).

Oh my goodness…..I love this story and I love even the idea of how her grandma kept in such close contact that way…what awesome memories to share and keep. I definitely would find a way to re-use that ironing board too.

What a beautiful story, and a fantastic tribute to her grandmother! I love it when the things we surround us with have such deep history and sweet stories.

Wow, I LOVE this! Not only does it look amazing as a display, but it saves a ton of cupboard space. Win-win!

Sara, Isn’t it the sweetest story behind it? And such a great idea. Thanks for stopping by!
What a great story behind the ironing board! I have a few things from my grandmother, and they may seem odd to other people but I love them dearly because of all the memories they keep for me. Stopping by from the #HomeMattersParty

Nicole, So true!
Love the story and the old photos! What a clever idea to repurpose such a special item. I would have never thought to turn an old ironing board into a mug holder. Thanks for co-hosting and sharing at the #HomeMattersParty 🙂
