Even for those of us who like to DIY, and custom build most solutions in our home ourselves, the clothesline is generally an off-the-shelf product purchased and installed in the yard, laundry room, or bathroom. But not so in this case:This clothesline was actually designed by the home’s architects, Marcus O’Reilly Architects, of Australia.

This wall-mounted laundry drying rack offers almost 20 feet of clothesline for air-drying clothes, all in a compact space. Plus, the rack folds flat against the wall so it’s out of the way when not in use. A couple of dowels and four boards, plus some clothesline, are all you need to build it.

Growing up in Germany we always dried our laundry on the line. The attic of our apartment building was a huge space where each family had an assigned area where we put up the clotheslines and hang our clothes to dry. On hot summer days it took only two hours for the laundry to dry; on cold and humid winter days it took at least a day. As a child I loved to go up to the attic with my mom. I usually handed her the colorful clothespins while she was hanging one piece of clothes after the other. We always talked while doing this and I felt quite important as her helper. Later, when clothes dryer were introduced they didn't find the popularity as here in the States. One reason was that our clothes weren't designed for dryers; the other was that clothes kept longer in good shape when they dried on the line. Apartment buildings usually have special laundry rooms where you can hang your wash on the line - either in the attic or in the basement. When Kaefer was born we had the laundry room in the basement and it worked out beautifully. Whenever possible I dried our clothes on a special clothesline rack on my balcony. So when we moved to the States I was introduced to a dryer and I hated it from the very first moment. While I do see its convenience it lacks the fragrance and the freshness of clothes dried on a line. Lucky for me, our landlord came from China and there was a clothesline in the backyard. The only time I used the dryer was during the winter. Then we moved to our home and had to leave the clothesline behind. I reluctantly threw my laundry in the dryer or I used the clothesline rack that I had brought from Germany (the one that I used on the balcony). Unfortunately that rack had become rather old and wasn't very stable anymore - it toppled over whenever there was a bit of wind, and it's quite windy where I live! It was frustrating but still better than using the dryer. But finally I had enough! I asked the Geek whether he would built a clothesline for me. I had found some beautiful idea on Pinterest and showed him what exactly I was dreaming about. This wonderful guy built it for me. This is anything but a flimsy clothesline. This one is made of solid redwood (the same wood we built our fence with) and it has a height which is comfortable for me (I am not the tallest person). The Geek put clothesline tighteners up as well so that the lines are always tight. There is nothing loose here! On one side he built a huge planting box with a trellis - those are leftovers he still had from building the rose trellis two years ago. By now there is a beautiful clematis in the box as well as a stunning rose. It looks wonderful (no photos yet). On the other side he built a "seat" for the laundry basket (no more bending over!) that is strong enough for a person to sit on. In this Etsy shop I found a hand sewn clothespin bag that now hangs on the line and holds almost all of my clothespins. This was the finishing touch to perfection! I can't tell you how happy and thankful I am! Now I enjoy laundry again. Hanging the wash on the line is almost meditating. I can listen to the birds, feel the wind in my hair, smell the freshly mowed grass in my neighborhood. I am so very happy. I do think I have the best husband in the world.
Gather a few pieces of colored construction paper, 2 craft sticks, a piece of yarn or string (around 8-10-inches long), a few mini clothespins, markers, scissors, and tape. Draw a few simple clothing outlines on the construction paper and cut out. Let your child color the clothing any way they’d like. Next, make your clothesline by taping the string to the top of each craft stick. Hang the clothes with the mini clothespins. Tabitha made clothes for people who needed them. I am so thankful for people who help us—like people who give us clothes!

When I first moved to Chicago, the cold, winter shock of a shared basement laundry room was there to greet me. I had to go outside and up and down those narrow, icy wooden steps for every laundry trip. I said, nope, no thank you, then I quickly dragged our butts out to buy a drying rack. Besides saving quarters, and helping sweaters keep their shape, it also meant I was being green.
