Whisk Broom Window Covering

23 comments:
 Sometimes the simplest of everyday objects can find a new life,
as something other than originally intended

 We have a really funny odd room between the kitchen and the garage,
 which has become one of the most used spaces in the little Ojai house
 I call it my "pop-up pantry"...but it functions as both a mud room and laundry room too
 This room will eventually get a total makeover, but in the mean time I needed storage...so I ripped out all of the useless goofy cabinets that were here and  gave it a fresh coat of white paint.
I thought it might be fun to try something new over the top of the window...not really a shade but more of a detail!
 How about using a collection of vintage whisk brooms hung on an old rack with hooks?
Well...alright-ee then lets do it!
 Now this might not do much in the way of covering the window...it looks really fun and costs just a few dollars
 Here is a peek of the "pop up" pantry/laundry/mud room
I will share a few more details on the next post!

Thanks for checking in...
cheers to a great week ahead!

now where did I leave the dust pan?

  1. Super cute idea - reminds me of something one might see in Country Living or on Martha Stewart - adorable way to display a (fun) collection!

  3. Great minds think alike! I have a very similar window treatment with my whisk broom collection! I will have to take a picture of it and send it to you!

  13. A clever idea that is just perfect for your laundry/mud/pantry room. I think the rustic hooks and board really add to the collection. The cart is adorable too.

  14. In the old days that might have been a summer kitchen. Great idea. I think I try to adapt that for my sewing room. I wonder what I can hang. Hmm...Ann

  21. I can't wait to see what you end up with in that room. We have the same space, in function, between our kitchen and garage. It could use some inspiration. It's tidy and organized, but a little lack luster.
