I'm not a huge fan of ironing due to my inherant laziness, but when I'm doing it I rather enjoy the Zen of ironing. Having time with no T.V, no one talking to me, and just letting my mind run away on wild fantasies. (I do usually have a little Ella on the ipod though) I do find that I don't have to iron all that often, maybe 2 hours every fortnight, due to the way I wash. It is most common here in Australia to dry your washing on a washing line in the sun. So I always make sure to hang things correctly, including hanging dresses on hangers on the line. (I take out excess water by rolling them in a towel first) Once I do this, I find that there is little ironing left to do on the garment unless it is highly crushable.
My ironing equipment is all modern, but I do find that the modern iron doesn't always do the best job, which is when I use starch. I just keep the board and all set up in my studio, as it doubles as a cutting table for some of my sewing projects too.
