I hate ironing.
With a passion.
Have I mentioned that I hate ironing?
OK, to be fair, it's not so much the act of ironing itself as having to do it on an antiquated Ironng Board. I hate my board because it's a pain to set up and take down, the cover gets dirty and dusty since I use it so infrequently, it's too tall for my short frame so it hurts my back (the other setting it has is way too low), once it's up it becomes a collecting spot for everything. There is also no good way to store it. I have one of those plastic hangers on the back of a closet door, but if I open the door too fast, the board comes crashing down. I also have one of those compact ones on the closet door of my craft room so that I can iron fabric when I sew, but it's ugly and unsightly, not to mention totally awkward to use.
I try my best not to buy garments that need ironing but invariably I always end up with a shirt that I love that is made from a fabric that is not wrinkle free. I tend to leave clothes in the dryer too long and need to quickly iron out the wrinkles before work. It's just a fact of life that I have to iron. This is the 21st century, why can't somebody design a board that doesn't get in the way when not in use, but is full sized and easy to use? Oh, wait — somebody did!
The folks at Better Lifestyle Products have the coolest ironing board I have ever seen. It is a full sized board that sets up and folds away in seconds, has a paintable cover so that it blends in with the surrounding decor, can be installed at any height and can be used in the smallest of spaces. There's a nifty video of the board in action on the site. It becomes a complete ironing center complete with clothes rack and iron holder. This is so neat — I want one!
