The Most Epic Kids Bathroom Ever

by Lindsay Ballard on September 16, 2013 1,499 Comments

I have been (embarrassingly) working on redecorating our shared kids bathroom for months, y’all.

When I finally got to the point of needing to iron the 90-inch wide project, I realized how much I hated to iron wide width fabric.  It’s the same with drapes, quilts, bedding – anything that’s wider than my ironing board.  I’d always have to iron one section, pull the other section onto the board, iron it, and tug down to the next part.  By the time I was finished, I was sweating from all of the pulling and tugging.
