When I picked up these washboards a few weeks back, I decided that I needed to add a few more laundry-related items to my collection.
I quickly filled a shelf with a vintage hand-stitched dish cloth, some doll clothes pins, buttons, spools of thread, and a few special items that my friend Renee from My Vintage Mending gave me.
I still loath doing laundry, but at least I have a cute room.Linking up with Very Merry Vintage Style: Share the Love Wednesday

Hooray for cute laundry rooms! Your red iron was the perfect addition! We need to get busy and finish our laundry room so I can decorate it! HA HA!
and cuteness makes the laundry duty a little easier! I agree! Though my laundry room is not cute! So sad!
love the red vintage dolly iron, kim. it's darling.

You find the CUTEST things :) And hey, if it makes laundry a wee bit more fun Im all for it. Blech! I hate that chore
Kim, love your display of laundry related items. I also have a lot of "laundry" collectibles but haven't really displayed them. Yours is so cute! Love the decal on the little iron.
Your laundry shelf is very cute, especially with the adorable little red iron!
Wish I had a laundry room instead of a dank basement, but am grateful I have a washer and dryer instead of having to scrub the clothes on an old board! We gotta count our blessings don't we?!
Yours is very cute indeed.

What an adorable vignette, Kim! The light blue shelf is perfect for displaying all of your cute treasures. Just think of how fun doing laundry would be if we had to actually use those washboards!:)
The iron is absolutely adorable. Your laundry room looks so darn cute.
Love that cute little red iron! Wish my laundry room looked that good!
Have a great week!

I wouldn't mind doing laundry as much if my wash room was this adorable!

Oh I am jealous! I would actually want to do laundry in a room like that! Very, very cute and the iron is just the perfect touch.

I am always in awe of your finds. That iron is a real treasure! I still haven't found a washboard. One day, sigh...completely agree with Lee, your finds make me look at things differently.
That iron is adorable. Your set ups are so stinkin' cute I'd be envious but keep reminded myself I can look at them all I want on your blog and never have to dust a thing! (Ha! right, like I ever dust!)
The little red iron is adorable!! :-) Your laundry room decor is so sweet!
so sweet! i need to do something with MY laundry room--but like you said, i loathe laundry. :)
that tiny iron is SO cute.
I would love to find the little dollie pins and iron...makes me want to go thrifting! Is that a sand pail in your banner? I love those, too! Very fun stuff....makes me happy to see them! Enjoy your week and your sweet family! ♥
That's such a cute vignette in your laundry room! The little red iron is the perfect touch!
Blessings,
Janet
I might enjoy going into my laundry room if I had a cute collection like yours. I adore the new little red iron.

You should share these neat vintage things on Vintage Thursday. I have an old rub board like that but did not have sense enough to make it look nice as you. I love that little toy red iron.
That is an adorable iron. Every laundry room needs some old vintage goodies, don't you think?
Yes, the cute room will take your mind off your laundry troubles!
RED OR YELLOW?
If you have a penchant for red,
Then scarlet will go to your head;
But if it is gold
You’d rather behold,
Then plant yellow roses instead.

love your adorable little iron. Great idea hanging the doll clothes on the wash boards....I have one in my laundry room, I will have to try that!
I LOVE that little toy iron, it would have gone home with me too!
I have a little red iron very much like yours. I love your vignettes!
Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
very cute iron, and love the rest of the display too

I collect little irons, too! I display them on vintage sleeve boards (ironing boards) on a shelf in my quilt studio. Don't have a laundry room in this house to decorate—I just have a laundry closet, which holds the washer and dryer!
Your laundry collectibles are so charming, and so authentic - the little red iron is so pretty. Found your blog from Colorado Lady. I am going to follow you. Thanks for sharing such happy items.

Great finds Kim. I agree, laundry is a bore but your decorations will make it a bit more fun! Thanks for linking up to Share the Love Wednesday--
