Ironing Board / Chair / Step Stool Sources

I had no idea how unique this item was, but based on some of the comments in my last post, I guess it is! I purchased it off the nicest man on eBay about six years ago... Mine came with the matching chair pad and ironing board padded cover, so I didn't make them myself as someone had asked...


What I didn't realize until today is how much of a steal I got! I understand that I got mine six years ago and things have gone up in price, but I paid a fraction of what some of the ones I found are going for!


Here's a photo of it in the 'step stool' position, which I hadn't showed yesterday...

Anyhow, if any of you are interested in purchasing your own 3-in-1 combination unit, I found a few on-line for you (as you'll see, there's a wide range of prices out there!!)...

Here's one just like mine - but painted in the prettiest shade of PINK! It's not cheap, but it sure is pretty:

And here's a solid wood one from GoAntiques.com
Wood Ironing Board / Chair / Step Stool

If anyone is living in the Queens area, here's one that's very reasonably priced (more along the lines of what I paid)... Unfortunately they don't show a photo, and it doesn't sound like it comes with the chair pad or IB cover, but it may be worth a look (it does come with a free waffle maker... I guess all that ironing makes a gal hungry!):

It sounds like these are brand new, Made in America ones from Dutch Crafters:
New Ironing Board / Chair / Step Stool
Now I just learned from this listing that these date back to Jefferson's days... You can get one with "personality" from Grandpa and Nana at this site:
Cut Out Ironing Board / Chair / Step Stool
and you can even order the chair pad/ironing board top in your choice of fabrics:
Chair Pads / IB Covers

So as you can see, there's a wide variety of styles and prices out there, but these beauties can be found, whether you're looking for vintage or new...

Happy shopping! Ironing! Sitting! and Reaching!

Pink Ironing... Pink Reading... and Pink Toolboxes!

FIRST - PINK IRONING

Ironing is a breeze on this combination step stool / chair / ironing board. It blends into the 'cottage' nicely with its little pink flowered chair pad and IB cover... The wood was originally stained dark brown, but I took some white paint to it and I like it much better now...


When it's time to iron, I just tilt the top, tighten a few wing nuts and - voila! Instant ironing board... (Flip it over all the way and it's a step stool.)


It sits in the 'awkward' corner (as I call it) of our family room, always ready to provide extra seating if necessary... I've had it for about 6 years now and, boy, I don't miss the days of lugging the old ironing board out of the closet to set it up. This is pretty effortless!

SECOND - PINK READING

You must pick up the latest copy of ROMANTIC HOMES if you love pink! I got mine at the grocery store today... Just look at that gorgeous cover - it's from a wonderful spread on Cathy's home, beautifully decorated for Christmas! You can visit Cathy at Treasured Heirlooms.

THIRD - PINK TOOLBOXES

Back in September, I posted about my pink toolbox, and several people commented on it.

Well, last week I got a "Collections Etc." catalogue in the mail, and look what they have in stock! Just click on the photo to go directly to their website....

Or they have this style as well... Again, just click on the photo to go right to their website.

Now I know you are wanting to see lots more PINK today, so be sure to visit Beverly at How Sweet the Sound, where you'll find her PINK Saturday item as well as a list of all the other participating blogs... Happy PINK SATURDAY everyone!!!
