Oldies But Goodies

The Laundry Room

My laundry room is in desperate need of a makeover... and I do mean desperate! We live in an old house from the 1920s (which I love dearly), but the basement is a bit dark and dreary. It's not at the top of our priorities right now, since we're starting on another renovation project in a different part of the house. But... that doesn't keep me from looking for ideas for when we do have time to overhaul it.

These are some ideas that I'm loving right now and keeping as inspiration for when we do make over my laundry room...

1. Vintage Glass Jar with Lid from HelloVictory 2. Vintage Red Wooden Handle Metal Serving Spoon/Scoop from ItalianCountryGirl 3. Eco friendly dryer sachets from ReFabulous

4. Vintage Laundry Clothes Peg- Lot of 6 pieces- Square from selinavaughan 5. Zazu Floral Ironing Board Cover in brown CityChicCountryMouse 6.wool dryer balls - fleece as white as snow from romeo2juliet

7. Vintage Wash Day Red Metal Retractable Clothesline 1940s from kittykittybowwow 8. One Summer Day -- sepia -- 5x7 print from Emmalynne 9. SunnySide Up Clothespin Bag / Linen - Clothes - Undergarments - Holder from postroadvintage

And to all our blog readers from the USA, Happy 4th of July! Have a great weekend!

Taking My Etsy Photography Outside - New Items to be Listed

I have been struggling with finding a good spot for shooting my Etsy photos. I am not sure if other Etsy sellers take as many pictures as I do. I think part of the problem is that my home has warm colors and is not well lit. This last week the sun was shinning so nicely that I decided to take my photo shoot outside. I was quite impressed with the shots.


What are your thoughts on these photos of my new items to list?

Does the outdoor scenery take away from the item?

Do any of you struggle to get good lighting?

Any good tips?

If anyone is interested in these items convo me and I will rush to list or reserve for you!

Did anyone see that we have hit 100 FOLLOWS? We are so excited and thank you all for coming back repeatedly to visit us!

Thanks again.
