I was whining at the Mad Austrian (my husband) for 2 years, since renovations we were doing meant that our clothesline had to go. Finally, we have a deck off our kitchen. And damn! – I wanted a place to hang our laundry out to dry. Finally, this past weekend….we found the clothesline of our dreams.

Our requirements:

1. ability to hang more than one load of laundry at once (me)
2. needed to look “not tacky” (the MA)
3. nice-to-have: off the 2nd floor deck, up in the sunlight (me)
4. ability to conceal it when not in use (MA)

Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you the Brabantia… I’ve tested it, too. A full load fills up approximately 1/3 of the line length. I tested a heavy area rug…didn’t fall off.
