Some of my favorite things in my house cost less than a coffee.
It is never just about how much something costs.
It is about how much joy it brings.🫶

I wasn’t even planning on doing anything with that old ironing board. It’s been sitting in my parents’ barn since, I dunno, before I was born probably. I only found it because I was over there after Mom passed, going through her things, trying to hold it together, sorting the "keep" pile and the "give away" pile and the "cry for 30 minutes holding a tea towel" pile.
I almost threw it out. It was filthy. Covered in dust, smelled like old hay. But something stopped me, I remembered her using it when I was little. I remembered sitting on the floor watching her iron my dad’s shirts for work, humming that same Willie Nelson song over and over.
Fast forward a few months, I’m trying to bring some life into my laundry room because let’s face it, I spend half my life in there. I’d been on the Tedooo app for a while, I have a little shop there now, mostly home stuff, and someone had shared this crazy idea about using old ironing boards as shelves. And I thought, wait a sec…
It took some scrubbing (a lot of scrubbing), a coat of wood polish, and about three swear words while getting it on the wall straight. But y’all, look at her now. From a forgotten board in a dusty barn to a warm piece of my mom, holding jars and vintage tins and memories.
I didn’t plan this. But grief has a funny way of showing up in little projects like this, doesn’t it? You think you’re just hanging a shelf, and suddenly you’re crying in the laundry room over an old spice tin and smiling at how clever she’d think this was.
