I’m joining in with a Photo Challenge! This is Week 3, and the subject is Vintage. My old (1910) home provides vintage aplenty for the gathering. One of the things I love most is the wonky old radiator heat system, which starts up at 5:30 each morning. It roars, rumbles, clanks and clatters as the steam winds its way through each radiator, making it a most trusted alarm clock.
This radiator in the dining room is one of the best. I believe it started out white, or ivory, but it wears its age (rust, chips, spatters) well, wouldn’t you agree?
Linking up with Wild Daffodils weekly photo challenge!
Let the Sewing Begin 
I adore those radiators although I might not be so keen on them at 5.30 in the morning.

Oh they are such fun, they just make me happy. They noisily come on, I acknowledge them, then go right back to sleep knowing the whole house will be toasty soon. Then I can get up! 😉

That is one massive brute of a radiator. Love your take on Vintage and a big welcome to the 52 week photo challenge.

Thanks for the welcome! We shall see how I do. That is the largest; the living room actually has 2 smaller ones together under the window – they’re covered though, so not as pretty. (And one isn’t working well, but let’s not discuss that)

That is just gorgeous! I think you should do a home tour blog; it really sounds like it has lots of lovely features!

Thank you! Goodness, a home tour? That is so sweet of you to say, and it is lovely, but still in need of much work, not to mention decorating. Maybe one day…..now you’ve got me thinking….hmmm….

What a lovely – and still useful! – old thing. Your description of the sounds it makes as it starts up adds a wonderful extra dimension to the photo.
