It looks like the post about clotheslines struck a chord with a lot of you. Well, you're in good company. In today's House & Garden section of the New York Times, they had a little piece about an indoor hanging clothes drier. It's made of kiln dried wood and comes from Italy. Funnily, it's called La Giostra, or merry-go-round. It's available at Conran's in NYC for about $25. With one of these, you won't have to hang your unmentionables outside on the line.

I guess you hang this from a shower curtain above a bathtub? great idea!
ReplyDeleteBe... or maybe near the washer?
ReplyDeleteClever idea! I like the way it looks too. I've always liked wooden clothespins.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I could use this.
ReplyDeleteOK...it's official! We are friends now. I have added you as a permanent link on my blog. I have been too busy to read the NYTimes today and love this crazy hanger. I usually hang my unmentionables on a folding wooden rack on my back porch. I have to thank you for sending me the link to YouTube for the delightful film with the song Perfect Day in the background. I feel really cheated that I never watched or knew about the BBC series on Peter Rabbit. Do you know if it is out on DVD? How can we get it rebroadcast? Any ideas? I ♥ you blog.

Fabulous ...just ordered a SELETTI UNDERWEAR DRYER for myself. No exterior display of undergarments outside of my home!
ReplyDeleteTea... can you post a link for for those of us who don't want to have our undergarments on display? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am happy to.

Great little gadget, perhaps originating in Italy?
Thanks... I think that it was called something different in the article. We'd love a review of it once it's up and hanging!
ReplyDeleteI have always kept a circular clothesline for outdoors which I take down after each use. As for "unmentionables," I was taught from a very young age that you hang those on the inner lines, working out, so that the outermost lines have sheets and towels...things that mask the "privates."
ReplyDeleteItalians have the best designers. The things Alessi put out for the kitchen and home are outstanding.
Cube... that's a brilliant suggestion for one of those "umbrella" clothes lines!
ReplyDeleteLove your new header :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!!!! I need me one of these!
ReplyDeleteI had one of these on the terrace of an apartment I shared in Bologna during my junior year abroad. What a memory rush! It hung above our head like a chandelier lit up on laundry day.
