You don’t have to haul out that cumbersome ironing board anymore!

by Tricia

If you read this site regularly you know that I don’t have a very big house or a very big garden, but I make the most of the space that I have. In fact I think I’ve become quite skilled at adapting small spaces to suit our needs. Even the apartment we lived in before we purchased our house was a junior one bedroom. I think it was only about 450 square feet!

The ironing board is called the Lifestyle Fold-Away Wall Mounted Ironing Board.What a big name for such a compact ironing board.

This ironing board folds away into a small box or cupboard that’s mounted on the wall.

In fact, when folded away, the fold-away wall mounted iron has a profile of only 4 1/2 inches. You can deploy or fold away the ironing board in mere seconds. Oh did I mention that it’s also easy to install?

I’ve been managing to use a standard sized ironing board in our house. We store it in the basement and I tend to do our ironing down there (in the dungeon) while standing between the washer, dryer and furnace. Talk about tight spaces!

Think that’s bad? It was worse in our tiny apartment!

I kept our regular sized ironing board in the bedroom closet and when I wanted to iron something I’d either set up the ironing board in the hallway between the bedroom, bathroom and living room or I’d bring it into our tiny kitchen and iron between the fridge and a small table.

What I wouldn’t have given to have had one of these small fold-away ironing boards when I lived in the apartment!  unfoldingironingboard.jpg

Just look at the photos I’ve liberated from the Lifestyle Fold-Away Wall Mounted Ironing Board description page. You can see for yourself how small it is when it folds away and how easily it folds out when you want to use it.

Just think of what else you could store in the space that you’re using for your standard sized ironing board now if you got one of these instead! Certainly if you live in a small space, like I do, a fold away ironing board would make a lot of sense.

The ironing board, when fully deployed, is a full sized board with a ventilated steel surface. It doesn’t require any extra supports when extended. It’s very durable. Also, the wall cover is detachable and paintable so you can make sure it matches your wall coloring if you’d like to.

I must confess that I don’t really enjoy ironing, but I do think part of my dislike of ironing has been struggling with the ironing board. I think if I had one of these Fold Away wall mounted Ironing Boards I’d find the task much easier, less time consuming and dare I say perhaps even more enjoyable?

This lady certainly looks like she doesn’t mind ironing!

If you live in a small space visit the betterlifestyleproducts.com website and read all the information about this fantastic little ironing board. Actually, even if you don’t live in a small space this might make a great Christmas gift for someone that does. Oh and if you visit the site take a look at their product catalog. They have some very handy items.

Handcrafted picnic tables in a variety of quality woods

If you’re shopping for new patio furniture or possible a wooden picnic table that compliments your existing outdoor furniture you should visit allpicnictables.com.

allpicnictables7_01.jpg They have a wide selection of high quality picnic tables in a variety of woods such as cedar, pine, select pine, cherry, oak and teak.

If you’re like me, when you think of a picnic table you probably think of the traditional style like the red cedar one off to the right, but you can also browse through All Picnic Tables selection of round, square, rectangular, oval and hexagon shaped picnic tables. Plus, if you’d like a more modern look you can find vinyl, coated metal, aluminum, polywood and galvanized steel tables too.

Each of their wooden tables are hand crafted using quality woods.

They are made to withstand years of outdoor use. Allpicnictables.com is a division of CedarStore.com which was first established in 1992 in the western PA area. Due to their products high quality and craftsmanship it’s not surprising that their tables and other products are being ordered from all areas of the continental USA. If you like their tables, but you aren’t in the USA don’t worry.

You can arrange for international shipping.

Chris and I already have a very nice patio set, but I noticed that Allpicnictables.com also sells table benches, patio chairs, furniture covers, patio umbrellas and even garden benches. I decided to take a look at the garden benches and discovered this beautiful three person Wicker Sofa. Isn’t it beautiful?

sofas_3896.jpg I’d love to have an outdoor sofa in my beautiful garden and I wouldn’t mind having that specific sofa. You can even select from a variety of fabrics for the sofa cushions so you’ll be sure to get something that suits your tastes and perhaps goes with your other outdoor furniture pieces. There are other wicker furniture pieces to choose from as well.

Overall I’m quite pleased by the selection of quality outdoor furniture and handcrafted picnic tables at allpicnictables.com. The prices are reasonable too. Visit the site and see how beautiful their outdoor furniture is with your own eyes.
