Something we should've done a long time ago

Our ironing board has been looking like a pile of junk for a long time now and we've been telling ourselves the whole time either to fix it or to buy a new one. Some while ago, I had enough when I was in the middle of ironing one of our projects and the whole room began to stink of burnt plastic. Therefore, I decided I just had to re-cover it.

The pictures below shows how it's been looking for a longer time. I think you all understand why something just had to be done.

I threw out the old cover and it seemed logical to re-dress it in denim. I mean, we don't have that much other materials to choose upon and I thought it'd look pretty cool.

The material of choice: An 11 oz cone mills quality we just got hold of.

This is how it turned out. You almost can't believe that it's the same ironing-board. Now it feels good using it again. Maybe it'll even get some wearing as the time goes by.

The best thing of the whole outcome, however, lies in the mere feeling of completing what should've been done a long time ago.
