I had so much fun with this - I've been wanting to make an ironing station like this for ages (in fact, that's why I picked out the spider-covered batting when my friend's uncle needed to clear out their garage, all those years ago!) It is extra satisfying that I bought nearly nothing for this project, just the red paint, handles, and the nuts/bolts. I kind of miss the dolphins though - I should definitely add my own decorative painted elements someday (maybe spiders? I saw SO MANY while sanding this).

Just a suggestion, I’m a quilter and I’m always pressing and steaming on my board. You might want to (at some point) add a layer of foil or a heat resistant material layer then add your batting and top fabric. Reason, the steam will over time penetrate the batting and the board and moisture will create some warping and possibly some mildew trapped between the dresser and the board. I hope this helps.

@r.e.d.l6219 Год назад

I had the same thought. The bottom of my ironing board on occasion drips onto the floor, so I wouldn't exactly want ply wood in there.

@mellie4174 Год назад

Grab a board and some batting! Also whatever those cool locking screws are that she used to attach the top… or if your piece of furniture has an overhang on the top, you could just clamp it on and leave them there 😂 or make a board that kind of slides on from the side and is held in place by c-shaped brackets at each end? Plenty of possibilities! Hope your DIY goes well 😊

Where the CC says "bedding," she means "batting!" Just in case anyone gets confused. I refinished a dresser once...NEVER AGAIN. Your patience is admirable. It looks gorgeous, especially with those lovely drawer pulls that really tie it in with your historical aesthetic.

@MargaretUK Год назад

Thank you, I was confused as batting is not a word normally used in the UK, I think we would call it wadding

@karycantowe9207 6 месяцев назад

Just to be clear, *Morgan herself* is saying "batting." She might want to adopt the local VT pronunciation--though I doubt the CC would get it right, most listeners would figure it out: "[bætn]" (rhymes with "Latin," with a bit of a glottal stop on the [t], so that "cotton batting" sounds like [kבtn bætn] and rhymes. 🙂

@patriciahamel5674 Год назад

I made myself a portable ironing board to go with my sewing supplies several years back, as I don’t have a sewing room and tend to sew in my dining room. The board stays on top of my sewing supply chest (an old steamer trunk), and can double as an extra seating option when not in use, and I sit it on a folding table next to my dining room table when I am sewing so that I can just turn and press whatever I am working on without having to stand up. (I have trouble standing.) One key suggestion for anyone trying to do this: Be careful choosing the fiber content of the fabric and batting that you use, as you don’t want something that will melt or burn at lower temperatures. I used cotton batting and quilting cotton for the fabric, and I have only had to add more batting once in the 10 years since I first made it.

@moniqueleigh Год назад

Ooo! That's an idea! I've got joint/connective tissue issues, myself. Something smaller/portable would be ideal for when I need to press that tiny bit while I'm sewing, but my joints are protesting the mere idea of standing. Especially when I'd also have to pull out the ironing board, etc. since it's attached to a door.

Latex paint in particular does not like an orbital or really any sander and heats up and tears apart forming those little pellets. Orbital sanders are also more likely to create an uneven surface than a pad sander. I’m so happy the heat Gun helped you overcome those problems. You have turned the well loved dresser into a handsome, useful piece of furniture. I love recycling and reclaiming objects and making them beautiful!!

@sashagolemgeske8662 Год назад

Always adore your videos and projects! As a professional painter, just a tip, use a darker tinted primer under more saturated paint colors. A dark grey primer will make your red color apply better. I also always assume for 3 coats of paint when working with reds. To avoid paint build up in areas, consider a sprayer (doesn't have to be big or expensive) or even a foam roller (not a napped one) over using a paint brush. I have learned so much from you over the years!

@stephaniestreeter4996 Год назад

I love this idea!! Suggestion for future paint projects: You can have a whole gallon of primer tinted at the paint desk at Lowes or Home Depot to a lighter shade of the main color. Now if don't want to do that to the whole gallon, just pour a certain amount into another container with some of the main paint color and mix it together. This helps reduce the amount of coats you have to put on with the paint. Something I picked up while working at Home Depot. Hope this helps

@XFactorGlory Год назад

I love this! I recent redid the top of my ironing board and discovered ironing board fabric! It's almost metallic and very thin and retains heat AMAZINGLY well, I put a layer under my cotton canvas cover and it's a game changer! I got mine from the fabric store I work at and it's not too expensive with some clever couponing! Highly recommend to anyone redoing their ironing board :)

@kvr8286 Год назад

Years ago I made my mom a 3'x4' ironing board with the layers made of discounted 100% wool we got for a steal - it was all in ugly colors/patterns and it didn't matter to us since the final layer was going to be a 1" gingham cotton - turned out great! And I got a little 18"x 3' ironing board out of it, too! Once you graduate from the standard shape/size ironing board to one with acreage, though, you get spoiled and don't ever want to use the little ones again ;-)

@margaretpratt5963 Год назад

Watch for mould in the badding from steam ironing. The wood and thickness will make it hard to air. Love the transformation, that chest is total goals!!

@kottaraislapsi Год назад

I was thinking this. One that could help is making holes on the board before adding badding, or using like a metal "grate" type of thing like Morgan's old ironing board seemed to have. Very important if upgrading to a more industrial type iron! It pushes out so much more steam!

@raraavis7782 Год назад

That's such a neat idea. I have two separate narrow dressers next to each other, housing my sewing supplies. I was thinking of getting a top plate, for a tidier look. Why not make it into a ironing table? I hate ironing larger pieces of fabric on my small ironing board, so this would be really handy!

@isabelasantos470 Год назад

I love those kind of projects. My dad was a carpenter, he thought me a lot of stuff, he also just retirede, so he gave me all of his tools and machinery, and this video just gave me an inspiration for my first solo project!

My Daddy (RIP) was a hobbyist carpenter. Actually, he could do it all: plumbing, electrical wiring, car repair, gardening, painting, tiling and brick work. I think the Great Depression created a lot of very handy people who grew up in its shadow. I miss that I could ‘order up’ just about anything. I treasure a number of furniture pieces he made. Unfortunately, I married a Drummer who can put up and tear down a drum kit and deal with audio/visual equipment, but naught else. A handy Father can really spoil a girl. 😂

@Yurix3093 Год назад

I have two suggestions. In my personal opinion i really hate to place iron on the board surface. always scarred that it will fall or something. If you maybe do too then out of one of top drawers (probably right one cause you leave your iron on the right side) you can add a board or something that will have hole to lift it up to access the inside and also it would make sturdy surface to place iron on top while ironing. Also underneath i think it would be neat to store tins with sewing supplies. I feel such a nostalgia when I remember my mom placing threads, needles, patches, measuring tapes into huge tins that were empty after eating all the chocolates

@meacadwell Год назад

I LOVE your new ironing station! The color is fantastic too. I've been working on one thats very similar (except the dresser I have is longer). In your case, you could get a wooden basket and hang it from the side for extra storage - it'd be a great place to hold interfacing or rolled fabric or even sewing magazines. Isn't having wool on the ironing board a game changer? I don't have to use a clapper since I put wool fabric under the cloth ironing board cover I made. And get a gravity feed iron. Once you have one you won't want to go back to regular domestic irons. I love my gravity feed as there's no auto-shutoff, it gets HOT, the water tank is HUGE and you can replace parts on it so it's more eco-friendly.

Removable cutting mat goes on top, removable ironing surface stores on the side. I was missing 2 drawers, so baskets for great in those empty spots.

Loved mine for years, works well. I have calico as the top and have reduced the squidge factor over the years until it is quite firm which I find works better. One thing to keep in mind is your iron. If it has clear plastic around the water reservoir, keep it away from the sun. All the plastic on my ( very expensive) iron has crumbled into dust after a year sitting in front of the window. Also try to keep the surface covered with a towel or similar when not in use. Kitty cats love these boards. Nice and stable for a good long nap. I also lost another iron from this. My darling thought the iron took up too much room and kept pushing it off.

@christineg8151 Год назад

A couple years ago, my ironing board collapsed and I couldn't find one I liked for a decent price. So, I decided to make one. I got a sheet of plywood, cut it in half, and used the sort of folding brackets meant to make tables that fold against the wall in RVs or boats to attach it to the wall. A few dollars of reflective batting, a couple yards of unbleached muslin, and about 30 minutes of stapling and screwing, and I now have an ironing board (table) large enough to iron an entire yard of fabric at one time, that will fold down against the wall in the event I decided I needed the space in the room. I love it! I rarely need to fold it down, since it is in my craft room, but if I need to, I can reclaim the space quickly.

@Anett39 Год назад

Hello Morgan, Can I have a question? 😊 This seems like a brilliant idea but dont you miss having that one narrow (kind of pointy) end of a classic ironing board? Also, this way you dont have any space under the board, so you cant “slide” your clothes on the board to make sure you are always ironing just 1 layer of fabric. Doesnt it bother you? I hope you know what I mean, it is really hard to describe… Thank you for all the amazing content you provide us, we love you! ❤

I've spun flax and hemp fibers into yarn and they are very interesting fibers to spin. They can start off feeling so much like raffia, but over time, after spinning and then washing and everything else, they start to just soften and crumple in on themselves (not like wrinkles, but they lose that crispness and don't hold their shape the same way.) I've got some yarns that were just not nice at all when I spun them initially, but over the years, as they have been used, worn, washed, whacked on things... they have softened and developed almost a nap to themselves and they are just getting nicer and nicer. (This is just an aside to your Linen discourse.) :)

@yazpis1achio 9 месяцев назад

I did something like this! My husband hinged a 6x3' piece of plywood to a wall in my sewing room. There were legs that swung out when it was lowered and a hook to hold it up when not. I covered it with acoustic ceiling tiles, layers of batting and a top of canvas, pulled tight and staple gunned to the bottom. Eventually I drew a 1" grid on part of it, and the feet and yard lines along the edge. The trick was that it partially blocked the door so it needed to be folded up before I could leave the room. This is because the FSC (flat surfaces collect) principle holds sway in my house. I'm soon going to be moving into Baby Girl's old room (BA y Girl no longer lives at home. She's 30. It's taken a while for me to accept that.) and a similar table will be put in there along with all kinds of fabrics (walk in closet) and storage thingies, sewing table and desk, and a roll top desk for beadwork (that's so I can close the top on a project & disappoint the cat). And, as with any creative space,, a great deal of fun will be had by all (the cat will have to be content with various cat shelves around the walls).

Your videos have really been pushing me forward to get off my butt and actually get around to fixin' up my room and working on my own ideas that I've been procrastinating with. Thank you for an entertaining and deeply inspiring video, you are amazing! :D

The sage green is perfect, I think the black might have been problematic when pressing white or light colored items unless you are better at remembering to use a pressing cloth than I am. I made a huge ironing board out of a door covered in batting and wool felt, in my last house. I propped it up on some shelf unit. A tall one on the wall and a short one on the other end. I put another door underneath for Bolts, boxes, and crates. I also used it as a cutting table by covering it with a folding cardboard cutting board. I also used it to block things that crocheted since I could pin into it. I don't have the space in my new home or I would do it again.

This is gorgeously done! Your creativity is inspiring! I think that if i had an ironing board like this, I'd actually enjoy ironing...well, maybe not enjoy but hate it less! Haha! Thank you for sharing!❤

Are you worried about moisture? Usually an ironing board allows air flow underneath. I iron with layers of bath towels on my kitchen bench and it’s usually drenched when I’m finished.

I did this with the top of a rolling metal cart. I would have loved to find an old medical cart, but my searching fell through. I bought one that has drawers and put an ironing blanket on top of a layer of padding. I can roll it right up next to my sewing machine, with a small (palm-sized) iron. The surface is sitting-height so I can press each seam without getting up. It has improved my sewing because I don't have excuses not to press.

I love! The mirror you can see at the end!!! That's so cool!

The project is great. I have been wanting to upgrade my ironing board. Now to measure what might fit in my limited sewing space and add the right dresser to my thrifting search list. Also, Clara ❤! The vibe when she sits on your lap was so cool.
