A little bit of TLC can go a long way.
The other night I instagrammed this photo from a gorgeous sunset down by the Stono River. It was such a treat not to have a big storm at night and have the chance to go for a little scenic walk around Robbie's neighborhood. I just had to share a little bit of the beauty of the Lowcountry with y'all today! I was loving the reflections of the gorgeous clouds on the water in the marshes!
Washing clothes by hand typically uses less energy and water than washing machines, and may be less likely to cause damage. It's also a handy skill to know if you're traveling without access to a wash machine, or if your power goes out....
How pretty isn't this. Aaaaahhh. Poetry in motion... Photo from here. A post about pretty laundry? Is that possible? In my world - YES! I have a thing for wash on a line. I am not sure what it is but for me watching laundry moving in the wind is something totally magic. So who lives here? Who put their panties on the fence to a sheep coral. Very inventive and charming. Photo from here. I think of who lives there. Who wears the clothes? What age are they? Babies in the house? Older couple? A young woman? A bachelor? A mom of six? What is their life like? What adventures have they been through? Love this evening picture. Stunning. I can smell it, hear it, feel it... Photo from here. Laundry on a line makes the world come alive. Gives a house some kind of movement. My house feels empty without laundry on the clothes line. Love the blue bird sky! Photo from here. We don't have a dryer. I try to dry my clothes outside as often as I can. Even on a mild winter day if possible. And after a long winter slumber and struggles of drying it inside in the laundry room (takes f o r e v e r!!!) it feels fantastic to be able to go outside and let the wind and the sun do the work in spring time. We have a good 10 meter long clothes line stretched up between poles. I can easily fit in two machines of laundry there. In summer I can bust out 4-5 machines of laundry in one day. It is fantastic. Inspired to start my own handkerchief collection. Adore them! Photo from here. I enjoy doing laundry. I love the sorting, putting it in the washer with some nice smelling softener, often lavender. I find it extremely relaxing to hang my laundry, shaking every piece out from wrinkles,pinning it in place. Inspired to set up a low clothes line somewhere in the garden to let Emmy Bo discover the love of hanging laundry with me. Photo from here. I want to sleep in those bed sheets!!! No source found. It is hugely satisfying to watch it blowing in the wind, smell the detergent when walking by it, touching it and feel the crispness of laundry that has been natural dried. I love taking it down. But this is where the love story ends... I don't really like folding laundry or put it away... This part I still struggle with... Inspired to just put up my favorite fabric on the line at times, between machines of laundry. Just because it is pretty! Photo from here. Yes, laundry is magic to me. And very inspiring. Just look at all colors, patterns, shapes, materials. Lace meeting jeans, checks next to floral, bright versus pastels, whites and multi-colors... And the pegs. Aren't these the most pretty ones you have ever seen? Love this! Inspired to make my own shabby chic pegs. Would look absolutely fab on my clothes line. Photo from here. Inspired to make laundry bags for all the socks belonging to a family of five. Or just to hang them next to my washing machine to look pretty. :D Photo from here. And make a peg basket, maybe make crochet covers for some hangers for my dresses to be dried on. Photo form here. Lovely quilts on the line. No source found. Love the fact that she is wearing wellingtons. :D No source found. Even laundry days are worth some pimping up, aren't they? Laundry, something we all do, all the time. A never ending circle of washing, drying, folding, putting away, wearing and putting into the hamper... Washing, drying, folding, putting away, wearing and putting it into the hamper... An everyday chore that needs a little more pretty-fying (that is not even a word but you get it, right?). You might have noticed I have left out the ironing part... That is because I don't iron. If I don't really have to... And this is my laundry, my pegs and my wash line in my garden... So how do you fell about laundry. Love it or hate it? Have you pimped up your laundry space or would you like to? I am curious to know... Are you inspired? I certainly am. I will dream about gorgeous wash on the line tonight... :D Kärlek Annette
If your washing machine stopped working, don't panic, you can wash a small load of clothes in a bathtub. Learn the right way to hand-wash laundry.
Here's just a small sampling of some of my favorite images from the garden and the sea, both near and far~
How to Wash Dishes (with Very Little Water!): Growing up in a house with a dishwasher taught me nothing about how to wash dishes. By the time I was out on my own as a poor student, dishwashers were not apart of my vocabulary. So you're asking yourself: What could be hard - you have a dirty dis…
Eu gosto do inverno, é uma época de muito aconchego, filmes em família, todos se aquecendo com mantas, sopas e chocolates quentes, uma fase de recolhimento. Mas este ano, além de ter feito muito frio, está muito úmido e o sol quase não nos dá o ar da sua graça. Hoje o dia amanheceu chovendo, como vem acontecendo há dias. Acho que todos estamos ansiando por dias lindos assim, como Dan Duchars mostra com muita arte em sua fotografia. Postado por Tereza Santos

Das heutige Aussehen der Stadt Ragusa wurde nach dem verheerenden Erdbeben von 1693 bestimmt. Die Oberstadt, Ragusa Alta oder Ragusa Sopra genannt, in der vor allem der Landadel wohnte, entstand nach den Kriterien barocker Stadtplanung, während die Unterstadt, Ragusa-Ibla genannt, zwar ebenfalls im Barockstil wieder aufgebaut wurde, jedoch folgte man hier dem mittelalterlichen Straßenraster. Ragusa-Ibla hat daher bis heute mit seinem Gewirr von verwinkelten Gassen und Treppen einen völlig anderen Charakter als die Oberstadt. Auch in heutiger Zeit besteht bei den Einwohnern noch eine enge Bindung zwischen der Stadt und dem landwirtschaftlich genutzten Umland, die auf die bäuerlichen Traditionen und die im 15. Jh. eingeführte Erbpacht zurückgeht. Hieraus entstand über die Jahrhunderte eine homogene Kultur und ein sehr starkes Identitätsdenken der Ragusaner, so dass die Stadt mit ihrer Provinz oft als Insel innerhalb der Insel bezeichnet wird.

Taking you on a tour of our simple + cozy farmhouse Christmas home all decked out for the holidays!
It’s nearing the middle of March and soft, fluffy pillows of snow are falling outside our windows right now. We’ve got no where to be but cozy at home, a perfect opportunity as any to talk with you
Ariana Roviello is the one behind Laundré, a one-stop shop where you can sit back with a cup of coffee while you do your laundry.
This poster can be placed above sinks or when training students to wash hands correctly.
I know that I'm not the craftiest mother on the block, but after Pinterest, I feel like an utter creative failure. Who can compete with that color palette?

A look back into the past of the Natural State is always interesting. These shots taken across Arkansas during the 1930s give perspective on the hard times of those days.

Another representation of a beautiful home amongst the clouds. Brandon 747, a Photoshop artist that gives his images a fantastically ethereal look. The last time we visited Brandon's work, I arranged the photos to make them look like the interior of a house of an interior designer's dreams. In that post, you arrive to this mansion by car and not by train. Very lavish rooms and decorations, make this potential home a must have. They are all coordinated with a uniform coloring and clouds, that make it obvious they are from the same universe and home. Have a visual walk around this building and take time imagining yourself enjoying everyday life in the various rooms. Have a fantasy filled experience to start your week. Ps. I gave the images some titles. For more of Brandon's work here on DesignStack, press this LINK. Directions to your concept of personal heaven. Press the Image to Enlarge it. Sweeping staircase.
