Make an ironing station

 If you have room to keep an ironing board up all the time, this might be an option for you. An ironing board has lots of wasted space underneath. So why not use a bookshelf? It's time to head to IKEA.


This item is a Kallax. When I purchased it, they didn't offer legs, so I bought 6 casters and installed them myself.
Then I went to Home Depot and bought some plywood, covered it in cotton batting and stapled canvas to the top. It's heavy enough that I don't even have to attach it permanently.


Now I can store all sorts of wonderful things in those cabinets. Or I can buy baskets that fit perfectly in the 12" cubes. I can roll it around wherever I need it, too.
