The holes are from nailing ironing board covers on. People often used old sheets or other recycled materials to cover the ironing board. They would turn the ironing board over and nailed the cover to secure. When worn out a new recycled cover was nailed on. I have seen my grandmother and mother do this many times. I enjoy your videos Mary. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Yep, that’s how they did it back then. Ironing board covers wasn’t around back when our grandma’s n mother used these type of boards.♥️😊👍
I agree! I believe it’s from nailing on a new Cover.
I agree, I was coming to say the same thing.
Yep!
That is what I was thinking as well.
My husband said those are wood worms and no longer in the wood as it is old lumber. Gives it character!
My southern Granny's wood ironing board is hanging on the wall just a few feet from my computer desk. It's from the 1920s, patchy dark discoloration and warped boards. She was a dressmaker and didn't replace it till the 1950s. There was always a glass Coke bottle filled with lavender water sitting on the end of her board, with a little metal sprinkle stopper in it. My dad says the board was wrapped in several layers of old sheets and the coke bottle sat on a chipped saucer.
I have my grandmothers wood ironing board. She also was a dress maker. I am sure the holes in the ironing board are from the many covers that were tact to the board. I remember as a little girl my grandma had a glass bottle ( I think it was a Pepsi bottle) with the metal shaker on the end. The bottle was always filled with liquid. I assume it was mixed with starch.
“Crummy shop”???? You have a huge beautiful property, tools, space, and a world full of luxuries many cannot even begin to comprehend. A messy shop is a gift.
Exactly!!!
You have the gift of making everything you touch into a thing of beauty.
ginacrusco you can say that again and again and again....I honestly cannot think of one thing Mary has touched that I did not LOVE....God has blessed her with so many beautiful gifts one of true inspiration teaching....and that is just starting out.....
Those holes look like woodworm damage. Thanks for another lovely video, Mary. Sending love to you and all the family for a blessed Christmas.
That's what I was thinking too or nail holes?
That’s what I think.
My very first thought was worms… It just seems like way too many holes all over the wood to be tacks…
I was thinking bugs too because holes weren’t just on the sides to hold cover.
Had those in old wall boards in our house before.
Could still be in there if it had any fresh sawdust around it.
Yes it is from wood boring beetles, common to find in antiques. It’s important to make sure the piece has been treated so they don’t spread to other pieces. It’s a known thing in the antique industry. Furniture that is made to look old will sometimes have faux holes like this
I agree with those who suggested the holes in the ironing board are from different covers being nailed on over the years. The table you made from it is simply wonderful-wouldn’t fault you for keeping it!
Maybe they made the covers and nail it.
That's what my mother did with old sheets.
That’s what I was thinking😊
The holes looks like woodworms. You can treat it easily. Love what you do. So talented.
My mom always put a new homemade cover on her ironing board when the old one got ugly. She'd use thumbtacks on the underside to hold the cover in place!
That or short old fashioned furniture tacks used back in the day..nothing like modern tacks....to hold material on the ironing board to keep it in place....i have my great,great grandmothers ironing board and it looks like hers....pin holes and tack holes in same areas
The ironing board would have been covered first the a natural cotton batting, then material over that and then the materialwas tacked to the underside, and along the sides to underside and also along the sides. Over time the fabric and batting would be replaced due to scorching and stains from sprinkling garments and linens in order to damp iron to get wrinkles out.
I believe Mary could build a whole house all by herself!😊
She could and she reminds me of Nichole Curtis from Rehab Addict..TV show
Yep, wearing a skirt and sandals, too
Agreed! Very skilled, the Jane of all trades!👍🏼😊❤
You had alot of wood worm in that piece. Everything was beautiful
If it was woodworm there would also be holes in the top. I think it is from tacking new covers on over many years.
Mary, you are something else! I can’t believe how you take things apart and make them into 2 or 3 new items! You are such an inspiration and the QUEEN of repurposing. I loved this video. Thank you for all your hard work of making excellent content for us. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas! We’ll see you in the New Year.
I think all crafters know how to climb over the stash. I Love It.
😂
I love your Trash to Treasure videos, keeps me thinking outside the box. Merry Christmas to you & your family. ❤
I think the old frame was my favorite! They are all beautiful as always!
Your Mother will love her birthday present, specially created by you just for her. Beautiful. God bless
Love how the frame with musics and wreath came out. Everything else too! Merry Christmas Mary to you and your family. 🎄
They put on new covers and tacked them on. Sometimes they left the old ones on for padding. Nice transformation.
Everything was really nice, was my antique loving heart kind of broke when you took the old ironing board apart and repurposed parts of it. As always you do impeccable work.
As always,everything looks beautiful,love to watch you turn old into new,Merry Christmas!
All items turned out terrific, 💯👍 but my favorite is the frame, 🖼️ 🪟 and the
I watched my mother many times nail heavy fabric on her wooden ironing board. Usually they just put another layer right on top of the old one resulting in more nail holes. I have her wooden ironing board and use it to stack quilts
I rarely think that wood doesn't look good repainted, but I think that the natural wood with the worm holes and the old iron burn on this old ironing board was amazing. However, the recycle will look very in your home. Thanks for sharing!
It is unreal what beautiful things you can make out of "junk". You are really a talented gal.
I agree that the holes in the edges and around the underside are from many years of attaching and replacing covers for the ironing board. Having had several boards in my now senior life I know the covers need replacing every so often and that means more holes each time. The older the board the more holes. 😊
Mary I love everything!❤ BUT I absolutely LOVE the picture frame with the musical notes!! O my goodness❤❤❤❤❤🥰
The stool makeover for your mom is such a sweet idea and so pretty! Happy Birthday to her and Merry Christmas! 🎄
Mary has a beautiful mother, who has done well raising and teaching her girl......when I think of a perfect example of what a mother, wife daughter, aunt etc looks like there is a huge picture of Mary in my mind with her mother standing right there next to her!
IT LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE WOOD WORM THE SMALL HOLES ❤
After the frame, I liked the little bench, all pieces are great.❤💜
Me and my granddaughter loved your Xmas soap!!..I told her it came hand made by Mary then I showed her your video(my girl is 11)..showing her early what really matters in life..thank u wholeheartedly for everything you do!!❤god bless you and yours
Merry Christmas! Thank you so much for showing your talent and ideas . Because of you I’m refurbishing furniture. I enjoy it.
New covers were added over the years, well worn board!
Years and years of replacement covers, my Mother had one like it.
The holes in the ironing board are from old fashioned tacks. You would tack an old folded blanket for padding, then tack a cover over it. You changed these when they were scorched (at least the cover). This was before the drawstring covers and metal boards. It was in the days when you sprinkled ironing with a corked bottle with holes in the top.
Blessings to you Mary and your family!
The hole are definitely from tacking down the board covers. My Mom and Grandma both did this.
Always a joy and a pleasure to spend time with you, Mary! Great video and I hope you and your family have a blessed Christmas!!! 🌲🌲🌲
I just love the old frame turned into Christmas decor!! May you and all your family have a blessed Christmas! And Merry Christmas too to all your viewers! 🎄🎄
Love these makeovers! The ironing board was manufactured between the late 1800s and early 1900s. The company also made sleds and other household furniture. Interesting history here! I live about an hour from West Paris. 😃
Nail holes for attaching old fabric or what my grandma used, was old sheets, holes from many times recovering when the fabric got too scorched from the iron, back in the day there wasn't pretty ironing board covers to buy!
I have decorated with old ironing boards for over 40 years. They make great stands for lamps and decor behind a couch or in front of the windows as a plant stand.
wonderful trash to treasure video!!! loved how the 3 items turned out. Thank you Mary!!
Here in the Carolina’s we have furniture made from what is called wormy chestnut! Ironing board kinda looks like that to me! You always create such beautiful items! Merry Christmas Mary!
Thats is what I was going to suggest! Wormy chestnut wood! My uncle has several pieces of furniture like that!
I agree!
Mary I love your set up for jobs it makes life so much easier , I just repainted some of my old furniture to bring some life into it it was hard work as I only had a hand held screw driver and hand sand paper I don’t have any tools but you have inspired me first on my list to buy is a electric drill ..you are a very clever lady and gifted I love to see people use or recycle items we waste so much today ..great job 👍❤️👋🇦🇺
Great makeover DIY’s. Really like your idea what you did with the ironing board . Looks so sweet adding your transfers. Making a table out of the legs was a super idea n looks great too. I try to make room for it. Love that sweet door that’s got wonderful age to it. That glass knob is an oldie n a goody. Foot stool/ bench …. Your Mom will love it. Turned out nice.
As for the holes in ironing board. Well, there not worm holes. It’s from many times of recovering it. Back then they used nails or tacks. Remember ironing boards didn’t have covers made for them yet.
♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟🎄
PS. Merry Christmas to you ,John n the boys.
She is a master at what she does!! Each piece is more beautiful than the other! Thanks for sharing, now I'm looking around the house to see what furniture piece I can improve!!
Love the ironing board wall hook project! Beautiful ❤️❤️
Merry Christmas! Love your channel!
Nice! Your trash to treasure vids are always my favorite ones. Blessings and Merry Christmas!
Exactly as stated below. They upholstered their ironing boards with old sheets and bits of old blankets and changed the pieces ever year or two as they fell to bits then recycled other bits of fabric that came along. I enjoy every thing you share, thank you and stay safe.
Love the trash to treasure videos. Thank you merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, Mary! Blessings to you and your family! Your projects are just lovely!! Thank you for sharing your insights, talents , and creativity! You are inspiring!❤️
❤❤❤ so many wonderful ideas. Can’t wait for next years ideas/videos.
Merry Christmas Miss Mary to you and your family.
A very Merry Christmas to you and your family - especially your beautiful kitty!
The trash to treasure videos are my favorites!
Powder dust beetles
The table looks great where you set it for the photo op. I would have a hard time letting it go. Merry Christmas! 🎄💝
The nail holes on the sides are from the fabric being tacked on. The holes on the back side might be wood worm damage. The latter being pretty common in old wood pieces especially if stored outside or in sheds/barns.
Wow!! You are so creative at transforming ordinary pieces into treasures!! Have a blessed and peaceful Christmas.
Great projects. The frame turned out beautifully with the addition of the wreath and ribbon. Thank you so much for sharing.
You couldn’t go wrong with either transfer. They’re both pretty.
My mother used an ironing board like that, it also had holes on the sides, not as many as on yours, my mother nailed a blanket and sheet over the top to hold it in place while she ironed, later on she added a cover that went over the blanket and sheet, these were only removed when they got damaged and replaced with others and again nailed down.
Yes, all the holes is where they tacked the batting and material that went over the ironing board
Love when you turn things into treasures. They all turned out beautifully. Merry Christmas to you and your family.❤🌲
Mary, its an ironing board, the holes are where the batting covered in fabric was attached on to the top side to give a soft surface to iron on.
I have an antique wood ironing board with a metal base. My mom bought it for me in a garage sale for $3 in maybe 1981. I still use it as it was intended. Love it, even though it is heavy. Hope my kids keep it when I’m gone 😊…who knows? Love your creativity!
I agree about the tack holes from years of use! Merry Christmas Mary to you and your family!
Love your choice of Christmas carol in the beginning. My favorite one. 😊
I own my great,great grandmothers antique ironing board and will pass it on down to one of my grandkids with the importance of its history...imagine a piece the grandchild will own that 150yrs prior their great,great,great,great grandmother also used in life,tooo....cant get any better than that
This is the reason I started watching your videos! Love the diys and inspiration!
Thank you Mary for another wonderful video!
Beautiful. Especially creative and interesting is the antique ironing board top used on the wall with hooks for hanging. So attractive.
As always…I love a great before and after! You never disappoint!❤❤❤
I think the holes are from wood worms. Some nail holes would seem right from covers, but not that many. Love these transfers!
I love the bench you made for your mom!
You certainly have a wonderful gift Mary…loved all the projects…I hope you and your family have a great Christmas and your Mum has a wonderful Birthday 🎁🎄🥰🇦🇺
The holes are from the nails used to put all the fresh covers on it over the years.
I walked in half way through the video and you were working on the ironing board, but I didn't know that at the time and I thought it was a coffin 😮 I was then informed that it was infact an ironing board 😂
Everything is delightful, Mary, but I think my favorite piece is the little table you made from the ironing board legs. :-)
What a treat to see the mfg stamp on your ironing board! I live in a small town about 30 miles from where that was made, and have many lovely old pieces of furniture made from Paris Mfg that belonged to my grandmother. She would've loved what you did to the ironing board!
I taken the covering off of an old one like that and there were several layers and even found what looked to be old cotton quilt batting underneath there, they just left the prior covers on and put new ones over the old so a whole new bunch of wholes were added each time, also seen cotton string to to help stretch things tight would run underneath like lacing up a shoe.s
Merry Christmas Mary ,god bless you and your family , send you love from Portugal 🇵🇹 ❤🎄
Please do more trash to treasure and makeover videos. They are always great. Merry Christmas!
I saw someone years ago, take a wooden ironing board and they cut 3 holes on the top towards the front, and they put terra cotta pots in them. It would have been cute like that with plants. Maybe on a patio. But they put colored burlap and flowered napkins in the pots and filled with veggies and on the back part they put a cutting board and had fruit and a bowl of dip for veggies and they used it first a Mother’s Day party. It looked so beautiful. I have searched for a wood ironing board since and have never found one. Id love to see you make something like that❤
I used my antique ironing board as a sofa table and bar. Just the right size and height. Also handy in an apartment as it is easily stored, has multiple uses and takes up almost no room. Really liked your frame, think I' d antique the paper a little, but what a door decoration it would be.
Mary everything came out so good I really like the way you did the frame ❤
That is one very old ironing board judging by the number of holes - that would indicate the number of times it has been recovered - wow, I love that!!
My dad made me a shadow box years ago out of worm wood it's beautiful. 😊
Now I know what to do with the antique wooden ironing board that was handed down to my mother-in-law, then to me.😊
Love your idea Mary! Happy, Happy👍
I love all of your videos but TRASH to TREASURE are my favorite. Yes please do more.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, wishing you a happy and healthy 2024. Love your videos and all beautiful makeovers. I have to agree with the new cover idea, due to the holes are on the bottom and sides. My grandma had me ironing handkerchiefs, napkins, pillowcases and her aprons by the time I was 5. I will always treasure all of the things she thought me, but I am so happy I no longer have to iron!!
It all looks great. 🌲 Merry Christmas to you and yours 🌲
I was always told when you see holes like that; it's probably American Chestnut wood. It looks old enough to be some. Love you and all you do. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Holes are from tacking raw cotton padding and cover .
I like how your mind floats to find purpose with many different things 😊
I love the little cabinet door/frame-it’s my favorite! The blue transfers were the right choice. Love the little birds-perfect!
Love your DYI s. My favorite is the door frame with wreath. Everything is very pretty.
Beautiful use of found objects❤❤❤
As. Always Mary you are so incredible to see how things can be with a little love and care. Ann from Va.
Everything turned out so beautifully Mary!❤ I love how you used the frame! You are brave to paint the frame after putting the backing on...if it were me, I would have dropped some wax on it for sure!😂. The ironing board is beautiful! I always see them but had no idea how to repurpose them. I love the hook board! Thank you again Mary for always making my Wednesdays so enjoyable. I always relax with a cup of coffee as I watch your inspirations💕. Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family!💖
the holes are from the tacks that held the batting and fabric on the top as an ironing surface
Love the framed sheet music . You turn anything into something special. Love the new bench cover too. God Bless your beautiful family.
