Thank you all for your help. Initially I was thinking of buying a long dresser but wasn't sure how it would fit the space I have. So thank you to the lady who posted her photo of a more narrow dresser with a much larger ironing board on top, that's perfect for my space. I will also go to Home Depot or lowes and have them cut a piece of board for me. Where do you buy the silver ironing board surface material? I'm so excited about this now. I just mentioned it to my husband and he gave me the eye roll. My last big idea was having him cut a hole in my craft table and dropping down my sewing machine. Let's just say that little project turned into a 5 day ordeal with 4 trips to Lowe's and more curse words than I could count! I thought it was a solid wood surface, but it wasn't! Oops..
I also planned on painting whatever dresser I find with chalk paint (add it to the long list of things I want to paint with chalk paint!).
