The ironing board cover is so cute! I love fresh, new ironing board covers. They always make me feel organized 😀 Indie looks so good in that quilt pattern. It really shows off those bold prints.
Your ironing board cover is so crisp and fresh, you are going to be sad when it gets mucked up. BTW, on the upside-down ness for you (as opposed to the shelf), pretend they are the tree root balls a la Tula/Birds & Bees! 😉
