Vintage Thingies Thursday is hosted by Lisa at Confessions of an Apron Queen.
Show & Tell Friday is Hosted by Kelli at There is No Place Like Home.
This week I’m sharing my grandmother’s old washboard.
My dad made it into a towel hanger and it now hangs in my laundry area.
Great old washboard, Lisa. How wonderful that you have your grandmothers. I have my mother-in-law’s. She said she washed my husband’s diapers on it!

Love the towel bar and the rooster towel!
Love the towel bar and the rooster towel!
Do you mind if I steal this idea??? How cut is that??? Clever Dad!

I love it! I’m glad that it is not our main method of laundry anymore though! So cute!

I have several wash boards, what a neat idea, I love the rooster
A washboard! Whoooeee, I bet our children don’t even know what one is anymore. What a creative idea, and what a lovely reminder of the hard work your grandmother had to do to keep those whites white!
Thanks for sharing.
Love it! My mom actually used to do laundry on a scrub board when she was a young girl.
That’s so clever! I have one to and this is a cute idea!

Oh how nice! Makes me wish I still had my grandma’s.
I love it! A practical use for something dear! I have a washboard that I got at an antique store and it sits on top of my kitchen cabinets with some lye soap and other stuff. I like the idea of turning it into a towel holder though!
Last week I shared about my Grandma’s trunk, the “before restoration” photos. I got it back and I have posted its transformation on today’s S&T.

Great idea – makes a perfect place to display your beautiful towels.
What a super, SUPER idea.
My Show n Tell is now posted…come on over if you can! I’d love to have you visit with me this fine Friday!!! Happy weekend to you too.
I love family treasures. He did an amazing job of making it into a towel hanger,
Hi Tamy…that washboard idea is very clever! It really looks cute!
Oh what a great idea to convert the washboard. Terrific!
Totally cute! I’d have never thought of that…and I love the rooster towels too!
That is a great use for a washboard. We have a couple of old ones in my family–we should do something like that.
Most importantly, though, where did you get that fantastic rooster towel?
oh, I LOVE that!
What a great use for your washboard! I may have to steal that idea…
Great washboard! I like the rooster towel, too.
Practical AND nice to look at. Love the towels too!
I am so impressed with your washboard/towel bar. What a great idea!
Great idea-great rooster towel too.
Not only is that adorable but the rooster towel is just to die for. Great idea for a laundry room. I like how he turned it into something useful. Neat-O
I love it and how clever of you dad to turn it into something so useful 🙂
