white baskets |
So this week I got a new washing
machine, oh man did we need one here for a long time, so I felt inspired to get
things ship shape and I spent the weekend in my studio, and cooking and doing
loads of laundry. I still don’t
have a dryer. No one much has a
dryer here (in Italy) and this pisses me off, but there are issues of energy
costs, for me just costs, hook up connection, space bla bla bla. When I die many, many years from now my
sister who may out live me can write on my tombstone “she didn’t have a
dryer”. Anyway this new washing
machine is such a dream that the clothes are almost dry when they are
done. It does sound a bit like an
airplane is taking off. The girls
and I say, “take-off in 3 minutes”.
I want to say I’m just being
silly and I realized that I have readers in for example Brazil and Tanzania and Serbia and
you all might not have a dryer either, but you do have a computer and so here
we all are together loving design and making things pretty.
before shot, I didn't ever like the shiny finish |
I took my old big baskets and I
painted them white (satin finish acylic) with a few drops of black universal
tint mixed in to make it a tiny bit gray.
The basket that had a dark stain on it already, I left the darkness
coming through a little, this gives it a nice Shabby Chic effect. The basket that was natural I painted
over completely white.
Here they are in our bathroom.
please note no dirty laundry an anomaly |
How cool is our porthole window, with the glimpse of the arch of the bridge.
There you are, now go out and
paint something that can make a big change fast.
