my cushy summer ironing board set-up

Here is my relaxed set-up for summer. Why stand? And I have a nice cool Japanese straw mat to sit on while I iron. My iron: a Rowenta. It has a larger chamber for water that gives you 30 minutes of steam! My tip: always get a thermal cover for your ironing board. Stay away from those cutesy prints. A thermal cover will heat up and press the garment from the underside while you press from the top.
