Antique Typewriter!

  Yesterday my fiancĂ© and I went shopping around town.  We bought our wedding rings at Jewelers Row and went to a few antique markets in Edgewater.  One of the best items we bought at the market was a typewriter.  It was only $20 because it moves around in its casing and had chipped paint.  But all of the keys still worked so I went for it.



Once I got it home I sanded down the outside and painted it.  I also found out that the ribbon with it still had some ink on it!  Here’s the end product!



We also bought a 1950’s overnight bag.  Though it doesn’t need any work to it besides a good cleaning.

  3. The paint was just a regular craft paint in green. Honestly, it was cheap and lying around the apartment...
