Laundry room decorations

[vacfanatic]

I bought this Miele advert online several months ago and finally got around to framing it. I spray painted the frame with a textured flat black and used some black fabric from the fabric store as the background. Turned out very nice. I'm also going to be framing a Persil tea towel that I got but when I went to remove the glass from the frame it snapped in half, so I have to go get new glass tomorrow before I can finish that. I'm also framing 3 Persil postcards I got online in 5x7 frames.

Will update the thread with photos of the rest once I get them done.

Here are the rest of my finished Persil shrine Was a bit of work but turned out nice. Note that the Persil tea towel is not 100% square, so it goes look crooked but it's as good as it will get

And these are the two Ads I have on the wall, near the laundry cabinet.

The Photo of the "White lady" with the twins was also printed on a limited edition retro-pack of Persil which I have in my collection.

Here you can see it.

Anyway, nice decorations, now you just have to hang them on the wall.

Ingemar,

It looks like you have some nice adverts yourself! I can't over-do it, as I don't want to clutter up the walls too much but I think the amount I have will be just fine. It's one of those hobbies it's hard to stop once you start! I have to limit myself to what I have

Washer Photos, etc.

I have both many, many OLD and newer US washer brochures in my collection. I also have MANY older, late-80's and before, European and Australian sales brochures and advertisements in magazines! I have that Miele ad that vacfanatic BOUGHT! It is in several of my French home magazines.

For Ingemar...

It's so funny, you and I are very much alike, as I have been into detergents since I was a kid, too! Every trip I've taken overseas or to Canada and Mexico, I have schlepped-home heavy loads of detergents and CD's! I got smart on my very last European trip to France, Holland and Switzerland in 1989-I shipped-home all my detergents from France! It cost me enough to do so, but they got home faster than I did! I still have empty boxes and bottles from other countries, and some full, unused US & Canadian detergent boxes! I LOVE lemon scent detergent, it's difficult to find good-quality brands with that here. I have a big bottle of "Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Lemon Verbena" liquid detergent. It works OK, but not as good as the nicely-scented German Persil gels I have! My Miele Ultra Color powder has a very clean lavender/citrus smell, and my clothing comes-out of the wash spotless and pleasantly, lightly scented! Nobody I know offers to bring home stuff for me.

For Jsneaker (Jason)

Hi Jason
I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one to be that much into laundry detergents. Right now I'm writing to you from Turkey where I am on vacations, so you can imagine how many detergents I'm going to bring home from here.

Jason, do you have some photos of your collection?

Yes I agree, I also like lemon scented detergents. I remember the Canadian Sunlight which had a nice lemon scent. But the lemon scented detergents are very different one from another and only some of them has a plesant fresh lemon scent like the real lemon. Many others has a strange synthetic smell.
