H has a clothes line and his collection of old washing machines grouped in an area of the back yard that is really pretty dull. There is a large slab of concrete and a not so pretty chain link fence, so the washing machines kind of distract your eye! |
 |
I have his old Norge washer filled with wooden pumpkins, moss, and lots of fall foliage. |
 |
H has 2 of these wooden double wash tub stands.....one is in perfect condition and is kept inside but this one isn't so it is displayed with the rest of the collection. |
 |
The piece on the end is a primative barrel churn washing machine. |
 |
Next to the double wash tub stand ia an old electric line drying rack..... |
 |
The Little Jewel |
 |
The Little Jewel is a tabletop model, but H has her on a rusty stand for display purposes. |
 |
Today on the clothes line, I have........ |
 |
a colorful fall table cloth...... |
 |
and a Patriotic fall sweat shirt ...... |
\
 |
In front of the washing machines I have a planter filled with pumpkins.... |
 |
In front of the planter are a couple of colorful roosters My dil planned to send them to Goodwill, but I had other plans for them and quickly loaded them into my car! |
 |
In this photo you can see a lot better how I have drawn your eye away from the ugly chain link fence and big slab of concrete to a colorful fall vignette I always enjoy your visits so much, please stop by again soon! |
Nice ideas for old washing machines and Fall decor. I remember my Mom using some of these.
ReplyDeleteYou always have the best blogs!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks wonderful and colorful. Love H's washing machines and your lovely roosters.
ReplyDeleteMy mom used a wringer washer until the 1990s. I felt so sorry for her and was so glad when she was able to move and have the convenience of a modern laundry room. Penny, what do you use in the bottom of the washer to fill up the space before adding the decor on top?
ReplyDeleteThey are full of potting soil since I have them growing live plants during the summer.
DeleteThey look so pretty when I have squash plants in them and the vines hang down the sides....hugs...
So clever. I love your roosters. Thank you for sharing.
