Lookie! How pretty is this? Back in March I saw this hose in a magazine and I quickly e-mailed the agent to find out where I could get one. Turned out she sold them online and I immediately ordered two sets. One for the front of the house and one for the back.
So as several of you pointed out after seeing this photo there are white ones available.
And here it is ready and plugged in. La-la-love it!
Happy weekend!
Exhibit A.
Exhibit B.
As you can see the banister and the handrail to the basement stairs needed a little TLC. Crusted up old paint and rust used to be the name of the game.
That’s until I got out my all-time favorite power tool, the mouse sander. Little mousey got working and quickly gnawed off all the old paint and rust. Knew I could trust him!
And a couple of licks of paint later, tadaaaa!
I chose a grey metallic instead of the original black which I had first intended. The reason being that the mechanism of the awning is aluminum and a similar color and since I’m going to stretch awning fabric between those two narrow bars I wanted the whole thing to match the awning. I think it turned out great. Now I just have to wait for the weather to go bad so I’ll be inspired to sit in the basement sewing.
Don’t know if you noticed the old mailbox in yesterday’s post? Remember how Wille and I found it along with the old wallpaper in the attic and how I was inspired to use it like this?
Well it’s up! And dusted…
And in use!
I love the function which means I don’t have to store small garden tools inside behind the locked door but can easily grab them. And with the lid they stay dry too! I also think it’s so cool that it’s the original mail box to the house and back in use again. Second life.
