Old Linens and Laundry

Welcome to my laundry room!
This is one of my favourite rooms
in the home.
I am loving my new front load washer and dryer...
They seem to make doing laundry
even more enjoyable! You will find all my old linens hanging around here...










A basket with my old linen towels


This linen towel is especially meaningful to me
my aunt hand made it on the
loom when she lived in
Italy as a young girl.
She learned all kinds of things
from the nuns.

I love the tassels on this old piece.


My laundry room has an old fashioned
drying rack
here i have hung more
of my antique
linens.







This is a very old Javex bleach bottle.
If you look
closely
you can see the
writing.


This old enamel pail holds all
my clothes pins...


There you have it...my laundry room or i should
say multi-purpose room . We also
feed the cats and have their litter box
here....but i really
don't think
you would
be
interested in that
aspect of the room !

  1. I really like your linen with the "p" and that piece that was woven by your aunt. What deep rich history you have Pamela!

  4. Such a nice laundry room filled with such pretties. How nice to own that linen made by a family member. My laundry room is on my to do list. I have to repaint it again (3rd time) No windows in there and it is too dark. I have the cat litter box in mine, too. Not very pretty. I see you have old clothespins in an old jar. I just picked up some at the flea market yesterday for mine when I get it done. Have a wonderful weekend.

  9. I love your front loaders in red - very jazzy! Is your drying rack attached to the wall or free-standing? It looks so pretty with the vintage linen on it. Good for you to find a way to display them, rather than keeping the linens in the linen closet.

  10. OMG, is that washer and dryer red? I love your laundry room. I have a pass-through that just happens to have a washer and dryer in it.
