I too have an ironing station in the sewing room. Basic 1/2 plywood that been covered with padding, cloth, and now wool ironing mats on top of that. There is also his ex-wive's ironing board in a closet, and another one I purchased at Walmart years ago that has the iron rest. That one is out on the three season porch along with my quilting frame. I really should take the ex-wives board to a resale shop!!
