We have been sick since before Christmas! Of course, that is no reason not to keep one's blog moving forward...or is it?
Oh well, enough about me. In an attempt to get photos logged in to one place, we ran across some orphans that we thought we would share.
As it is the new year and everyone wants to improve themselves, we are always in a mind to have a huge area for linens, as we now tend to keep things like that sitting in a chair in the bedroom. Alas, we have no place in our modest house to set aside a linen closet, much less a linen room. But a girl can dream.
Several years ago, we wrote about Edith Wharton's The Mount. Now there is a house with a room for everything. Several years ago, we uploaded some pictures of the now vacant linen closet (and we use that term loosely, as Wharton's linen "closet" was bigger than many apartments).
We ran across those photos last month and though you might just like to see them.
Linen Closet. The Mount.
Nice shelves and drawers. A place to work. Clearly and inspiration for adding a servant's wing.
Linen Closet Shelving. The Mount
We are really fond of this built-in construction. Would love to have these in a kitchen! Until then, we are seriously thinking of moving the sheets out of the bedroom chair!
Oh, I'm sure Edith also had someone on her household staff to iron all that linen. Wouldn't that be nice to have as well!
