Hellobee Boards

I used to iron quite often when we first got married but noticed that my husband just pushed his freshly iron shirts (that he doesn't wear that often because he is a software engineer) in the cramped closet. I bought him a lot of wrinkled free shirts. For me, I ironed my items about once a month now. I used to iron more often when we had a guest bedroom. (no more, because of the kids). So do you think you could put an ironing board over the door or an iron wall built in? that would be the best solution. I don't iron often because it's an eye sore to have the ironing board out and my room is already so messy....

I rarely iron but when I do it's on the mini ironing board my mom sent with me to college.

My coworker sent out a suggestion that we use ironing boards for adjustable standing desks for work from home. My boss was shocked none of us owned full size ironing boards. He offered to let us expense them which is huge because my group is cheap but I don't have a place to store one and I wouldn't use it.

@josina: I iron on a small board on the washer also! I mostly iron dressy kid stuff so it works fine. I hang it on a hook on the wall. Day to day I also try to make sure stuff comes out of dryer nicely and I sometimes “iron” by spraying clothes with water and using my hands to work out wrinkles, if they are just in one place like a hem or sleeve.

I have a big board that I use mostly for sewing projects or the occasional big need. It’s in the coat closet and I hate getting it out so that really makes me never want to use it.

I would love to have a built in that folds up on the wall! No space right now though.

@HappyBaker: You iron your jeans?!?! Wow.

I hardly ever iron - basically only when my work clothes are, let's say, pretty badly wrinkled. Otherwise I just assume the wrinkles will shake out as I wear the clothes. But when we iron we do it in the laundry room - it's pretty close quarters, but easier than dragging the ironing board out. Especially since my husband doesn't think it's a problem to leave it set up for 3-100 days after he finishes ironing.

@HappyBaker: At my mom’s house. Which is also where I store the iron So, like, maybe once a year.

I keep my full size ironing board and iron on a wall thing in my closet. I have to take it out to the bedroom to iron though which is a little bit annoying. I only really iron if what I want to wear to work is wrinkly or for events like holidays or pictures. But being near my clothes where I get dressed is useful.

@HappyBaker: I actually really like to iron - I think it's relaxing. I have a full sized ironing board folded up in the laundry room in our basement, so I just take it out and iron in the basement. Now that we have kids, however, I definitely lean towards wearing clothes that don't need to be ironed or just hanging them up near the shower in the mornings, hoping that the steam will take out most of the wrinkles.

I have one of those dryers that steams clothes so I usually use that to iron. If there isn't time for that, I use a carpeted floor as an ironing board.
