Laundry drying rack...old window?

19 years ago

I have several old windows that a friend gave me...some are broken. I was thinking about using one to hang over a utility sink in my laundry room to use as a drying rack. I have a clothes line that I use in the warmer months but need a place to dry clothes in the colder months. I was thinking I could suspend it from the ceiling and put cup hooks in it and use it to hang clothes on. In warmer months I could hang flowers from it to dry...since it is over the utility sink it wouldn't make such a mess. Has anyone done or seen anything like this? Any better ideas?

I think it sound like a great idea. I never have enough "hanging "room in my little laundry room

What a great idea -- I have windows and I have a need
for hang-drying space in the winter. Hope you don't mind if I "borrow" this idea.

Be my guest, miss m. Please share a pic when finished. I also have some spindles that a neighbor gave me...thinking about hanging them under my cabinets over the washer and dryer. Gives room to dry the smaller things like socks, etc. I'll send a pic when finished with my laundry room makeover. :)

Great idea - I just have the old fashion clothesline in my basement (LOL).
