9 Washboard DIY Decor Project Ideas

In January, I was contacted by email by a Wall Street Journal reporter.  To be honest, at first I thought it could be spam.  I called the phone number he had given me, and he was in fact a Wall Street Journal reporter.

I had recently posted a washboard project on my blog, and apparently he had ran across it. He was in the process of writing a story on the last washboard company in America.  The story was posted both online and in the print version in late January.

Although the final story did not include the photos I had emailed him, it did contain a couple paragraphs about me.

So far, I have completed nine washboard projects for my blog.  Keep scrolling to see all nine here!

Apparently washboard sales actually climbed during the pandemic. I was asked if I had ever used a washboard!

My condensed interview with the reporter is outlined above.  It wasn't much, but kinda fun to see my name in newsprint.

Below are my nine washboard projects along with links to the details on each!
