Yes, because of Blogland, I pulled this 1940 Underwood typewriter out of storage in our garage and I vacuumed it.
I've seen a lot of typewriters in posts and I thought to myself.....
I have one of those in the garage. HUMMMM......
I decided to update the desk in our family room and
used the typewriter as my starting point.
This is what my desk looked like before I started my project.
I took everything off the top of the desk and started over.
I borrowed this old wicker tray from my mom.
It belonged to my great-grandmother.
The other items are just things I already had in the house.
Here's a close-up of a picture that I already had on the desk.
I decided it should stay because I haven't had it on the desk for very long.
I added the vintage bottle of ink that you can see on left corner below the picture frame.
Now the picture....this is a special picture.
It was made in 1962 of my great-aunt at the newspaper office in our town.
I think the picture looks great in the frame that looks like vintage newspaper type.
I can remember seeing type that looked like
that in the newspaper office when I was a little girl.
Here's just the photo itself.
If you look in the background to the right....do you see it?
YEP! It's the desk!!!!
The desk that is in my family room.
It used to be in the newspaper office years ago.
I can remember that it was dark and dirty
with ink when I was a girl. But in the 70's (when I was a teen),
it was cleaned-up and refinished and it has been in
it was cleaned-up and refinished and it has been in
my home ever since. And one more thing
about the desk....it used to belong to my great-uncle who
was born in 1892 . And, before that, the desk belonged to
HIS daddy and was in his law office...
so this desk is OLD!
Here's another shot of my changes.
I am enjoying the changes that I have made to the desk!
And now I can say that I have vacuumed a typewriter!!
THANK you BLOGLAND!
