For many of us, typewriters are part of our "high school" years and we probably haven't used one in forever. I can still remember my typing class, all girls learning a skill we all thought we had to have for our future career. Fortunately, the typewriter I had in class was better than the one in the picture! Blending old with new is one of favorite things to do when putting together a room. I like the different textures here with the curly, wire table topped with the black tole tray. I found some old correspondence and a couple of desktop accessories to add to the setting. Think about how you can incorporate a fun, different, interesting piece into your family room, home office or den. They are perfect "conversation pieces". This setting is behind the loveseat in our Maine cottage living area. I have another one in my home office that is much more of a prize. It has the case and is one of the first portable typewriters. You can pick one of these up for anywhere from about $35 to over $150, depends on how nice the machine is and whether the case is included. Don't worry about it being in perfect condition, it's the effect that you are looking for..

About meA southern girl at heart, I have been moving and decorating all my life. I enjoy the hunt as much as putting the finished arrangement together. I love to mix old and new together, especially old silver and country store display items. It's all about comfort and making your house a home. Archives
