A new treasure for the laundry room

-


I couldn't resist bringing this home the other day...


and didn't think it would look this good in my little laundry closet.


But both the laundry fairy and I really love it!



What do you think?
Should I keep it?

Absolutely! Laundry is a terrible chore that I loathe. Anything to cheer me up while I work is a plus.

Now, can you really use it???

Yes...it's a keeper! I love its patina and form. I need a laundry fairy, too. Maybe two since I'm always so behind in laundry ;)

Its a mangle, right? When I was at camp a million years ago we used to wash our clothes and put them through the mangle to get all the excess water out. Absolutely keep it!

Holiday Home Tour - House #2

Both my mom and my uncle's homes were part of the Holiday Home Tour this year benefiting The Alameda Family Services League. My uncle's home is a grand old Spanish Revival that wraps the corner of Northwood Dr. (the street I grew up on) and Yale Dr. where he and my mom grew up and where my mom now lives. His address is actually Gibbons Drive which is one of the most beautiful tree lined streets in Alameda. "Alameda" actually means, tree-lined avenue!  This fountain greets you at the entry to his home. Santa had the perfect spot for a long afternoon of greeting guests.  You may remember the greeting he gave my mom when he saw her!! A lovely vignette awaits you at the door. My mom is no stranger to this house. They have lived in the same neighborhood, just a few houses apart, for over 40 years!

It had been sitting for the longest time in my favorite thrift store and as hard as I tried to ignore it, it finally got my attention when one night as I was watching a movie with my hubby I imagined it across the room replacing an existing bench. Bright and early the following morning I high tailed it over there hoping it would still be there waiting for me! I sighed a breath of relief when I spied it over in the corner.  It was originally priced at $250 but had been lowered recently to $100. I asked politely if they might meet me at $75.   They promptly agreed as they were anxious to free up space. Once I got it home it became the catalyst for further upgrades in the space. I channeled India Hicks...
