    I agree with you about the scent of sheets dried on the clothesline outside. There is nothing more condusive to a good nights sleep than that smell. The house looks wonderful. Fresh and crisp.

      My mom used to always hang sheets on the line, even in the winter. I remember her putting on her snow boots to take them out. They would freeze first, then dry ☺️

      And when my mom would throw the sheet over the clothesline and it doubled it, then us kids would open it up on one end and run through the sheet before it closed on us. The smell was wonderful. I wish I had room for an old fashioned clothesline.

    What a great tip on using T-shirts. Love the updated colors in the living room. The moss green is so pleasing and brings a little of the outdoor feel into a room. It is still gloomy weather here in Indiana so I haven't gotten into the spring mood yet. Thanks for sharing and giving me inspiration.

  • @lotus57100
    @lotus57100 Рік тому +14

    I grew up with fresh clothes/bedding from outdoor clothes lines. Probably my most favorite smell. My Mother hung clothes out 12 months a year. Even in the Winter months.
    I love your Spring refresh. I especially love the colors of your home. So fresh, clean and bright.

    Mary, I often made pillow covers by using just one long rectangle. You can fold that one piece, fold it ( inside facing out) into 3rds, with a bit of an overlap on one edge of the opening. That way you only had to fold " and hem the 2 end pieces. Pin the longer sides and sew them together. Turn material right side out.

    Hi Mary. In New Zealand 80% of people hang their washing outside on a clothes line. We all have dryers but tend to use them when the weather is shocking. Thete is nothing better than fresh outdoor dried washing. Better for the environment nd making full use of the beautiful sunshine. If we are lucky enough to have the space then why not. Have a fab week.

    Gosh, your home is so warm n inviting. I love how you change things around during the seasons. I would love to do that but unfortunately I just don’t have the storage place to keep them. Th green pillows look so springy n I bet real soft being made out of t-shirt fabric. The mantle is so sweet with the bunnies. Very clever adding the frame cottontail story. Brings everything full circle.
    Wish I could use some more curtains especially the blue n white stripped ones. They looked so good hanging with just a bit of see through. Let’s just say I love everything you do to in your home.
    PS. I too love to hang my sheets on the line. Ohhh, how good they smell, so clean n fresh.
