This laundryroom window is a sweet frame to a farm yard scene. Why not "magic" up the frame?? I added sweet enamelware ladles - the kind meant to hang on their own. You never know what treasures might find there way into the ladle - here they hold mini-wreaths (they could hold votives, paperclips in an office...). Also - note wire baskets on the left - stacked and hung waiting for use. The valance is made from a $1.00 tablecloth found at the Kane County Flea Market.

P.S. - Thought I would share some laundryroom pics as the colors are kind of Valentine's Day-ish...

Now I just focus on unique ladles, pitchers in all shapes and sizes, unique pieces, and buckets that I use all the time for my everyday use. It is functional stuff, and I do like the clean look. I do tend to be smitten with the enamelware that has dings and knocks - just like true life ... I just found a pitcher that was repaired with a screw, nut & washer --love that!

Take care,

Enamelware is truly a fun addition to any room. I especially love enamelware pitchers - I have 10 above the jelly cupboard in the kitchen (all shapes and sizes) --- and at least 4 for sale in my antiques booth at any given moment. They are simple and elegant and practical! Some time I will post a picture of that line up!
