Then and now...vintage washboards next to a modern day washing machine. The traditional washboard is usually constructed with a rectangular wooden frame in which are mounted a series of ridges or corrugations for the clothing to be rubbed upon. In the late 20th century and early 21st century, ridges of galvanized steel are most common, but some modern boards are made of glass.. A "fluted" metal washboard was patented in the United States by Stephen Rust in 1833. 💡🧺 . 📸 by Decor & The Dog Blog #washboard #antiquewashboard #vintagewashboard #laundryroomsofinstagram #laundryroomgoals #utilityroom #laundryroommakeover #laundrymakeover #antiquedecor #goodoldays #vintageappliance #vintagelove #vintageworld #vintagestyle #vintageinterior #backinthedays #throwback #nostalgia #interiordesignideas #interiorinspo #interiorstyling #interiør #interiors #laundryroomdecor #usa #love #cool #happy #life https://www.instagram.com/p/CTMUpuEFhtO/?utm_medium=tumblr
