Pretty laundry inspiration

How pretty isn't this. Aaaaahhh. Poetry in motion... Photo from here.

A post about pretty laundry? Is that possible? In my world - YES!
I have a thing for wash on a line. I am not sure what it is but for me watching laundry moving in
the wind is something totally magic.

So who lives here? Who put their panties on the fence to a sheep coral.
Very inventive and charming. Photo from here.

I think of who lives there. Who wears the clothes? What age are they? Babies in the house?
Older couple? A young woman? A bachelor? A mom of six? What is their life like?
What adventures have they been through?

Love this evening picture. Stunning. I can smell it, hear it, feel it...

Laundry on a line makes the world come alive.  Gives a house some kind of movement. My house feels empty without laundry on the clothes line.

Love the blue bird sky! Photo from here.

We don't have a dryer. I try to dry my clothes outside as often as I can. Even on a mild winter day if possible.  And after a long winter slumber and struggles of drying it inside in the laundry room (takes f o r e v e r!!!) it feels fantastic to be able to go outside and let the wind and the sun do the work in spring time. We have a good 10 meter long clothes line stretched up between poles.
I can easily fit in two machines of laundry there. In summer I can bust out 4-5 machines
of laundry in one day. It is fantastic.

Inspired to start my own handkerchief collection. Adore them!

I enjoy doing laundry. I love the sorting, putting it in the washer with some nice smelling softener, often lavender. I find it extremely relaxing to hang my laundry, shaking every piece out from wrinkles,pinning it in place.

Inspired to set up a low clothes line somewhere in the garden to let Emmy Bo
discover the love of hanging laundry with me. Photo from here.

I want to sleep in those bed sheets!!! No source found.

It is hugely satisfying to watch it blowing in the wind, smell the detergent when walking by it, touching it and feel the crispness of laundry that has been natural dried. I love taking it down.
But this is where the love story ends... I don't really like folding laundry or put it away...
This part I still struggle with...

Inspired to just put up my favorite fabric on the line at times, between machines of laundry.
Just because it is pretty! Photo from here.

Yes, laundry is magic to me. And very inspiring. Just look at all colors, patterns, shapes, materials. Lace meeting jeans, checks next to floral, bright versus pastels, whites and multi-colors...

And the pegs. Aren't these the most pretty ones you have ever seen?  Love this!
Inspired to make my own shabby chic pegs. Would look absolutely fab on my clothes line.

Inspired to make laundry bags for all the socks belonging to a family of five.
Or just to hang them next to my washing machine
to look pretty. :D Photo from here.

And make a peg basket, maybe make crochet covers
for some hangers for my dresses to be dried on. Photo form here.

Lovely quilts on the line. No source found.

Love the fact that she is wearing wellingtons. :D

Even laundry days are worth some pimping up, aren't they? Laundry, something we all do, all the time. A never ending circle of washing, drying, folding, putting away, wearing and putting into the hamper... Washing, drying, folding, putting away, wearing and putting it into the hamper...
An everyday chore that needs a little more pretty-fying (that is not even a word but you get it, right?). You might have noticed I have left out the ironing part... That is because I don't iron.
If I don't really have to...

And this is my laundry, my pegs and my wash line in my garden...

So how do you fell about laundry. Love it or hate it? Have you pimped up your laundry space or would you like to? I am curious to know... Are you inspired? I certainly am.
I will dream about gorgeous wash on the line tonight... :D
