Hey there, time traveller!

This simple, do-it-yourself project comes with a promise of crisp, clean shirts, and sharply creased pants.

Indeed, this ironing board cabinet is just what you need to make quick work of any ironing chore. While easy to construct, the ironing board takes up very little space and comes with plenty of storage for all you need to achieve that laundry mat look. Inside the cabinet is plenty of room for an iron, spray, water bottle and more.

When not in use, the ironing board folds flat against the side of the unit. A quaint pine door adds the perfect country touch, and keeps all your ironing odds and ends out of sight. Finished, the ironing board cabinet stands 37-inches tall and 14-inches square.

Our bonus “bachelor’s bench” provides another option. This handy three-in-one project can fold to become an ironing board, step stool, and chair.

Plans for both projects come with a complete materials list, cutting schedule, step-by-step instructions and illustrations.

To begin your ironing board cabinet, ask for Pattern No. CC-15 and send $21.95 (please add $5 for postage and GST). For the bonus, three-in-one bachelor’s bench, ask for plan No. 0519, and send an additional $8. Ordered individually, this plan is $17.95 (postage and GST included).

Make your cheque or money order payable to “Constructive Ideas” and mail it, along with your request, to: The Winnipeg Free Press, c/o PO Box 400, Beaconsfield, QC, H9W 5T9.
