    Default My New Ironing Cabinet ...Really!

    Inspired by a picture I saw of a dresser under a "Big Board" my husband found a china hutch and just used the bottom to create an ironing board the cat can't tip over. Love the extra storage!

    Want to know what's funny? I have one almost exactly like that I'm trying to get rid of! I thought it would be perfect for a cutting table, but it's a bit too low. But you're right... the cat can't knock it over!! Congrats on your great find. And nope, can't have too much storage.
