Picture of my bedroom/computer room/typewriter room

[autowasherfreak]

I thought I would share pictures with you guys. This is a large room with short ceilings. It's the first thing I fell in love with the house when I first went through it.

This is one of 3 built-in dressers. the drawers are very deep and wide. Mostly blankets, extra sheets and some clothes.

Cubby Hole Doors

There are 4 of these that have extra storage behind them and lord knows what else.

There is a couple black and white portable TV's in one, that I'm afraid to plug in. One I will get brave and get them out.

With my lighthouse collection, mostly from the Dollar Store and Friends.

More lighthouses. This fan was running when the picture was taken.

A friend gave me these for my birthday.

Lighthouses and printers

Above one of the built in dressers. The is the free printer I got off of FreeCycle, because the lady said it was broken and it was only out of ink. The typewriter is a Hermes Electronic with a LCD display.

Cupboards

There are four large IBM Typewriter in here.

 

[autowasherfreak]

More Cupboards

This set if full of typewriter of typewriter supplies, on both sides.

Shelves

There are three of these throughout the room.

 

[autowasherfreak]

More storage

Vintage computer stuff in these, the lower part is to access the water lines for the bathroom.

 

[autowasherfreak]

Cute little shelves

I wonder if a little girl or boy did this. There are shelves on both sides.

 

[autowasherfreak]

Access Door

This is to get access to the non-working exhaust fan. Needs a new motor.

 

[autowasherfreak]

The Fan

Really dirty in here, yuck!

What A...

...Cosy room! You don't see panelling like that any more. Someone really liked working with wood and mouldings.

I envy you.

My Computer Desk

There is a drawer on each side and shelves at the end. The white drive on the computer is an old 5 1/4" floppy drive.

 

[whirlcool]

Good old fashioned knotty pine paneling. All the rage in the 40's & 50's. My parents had a house with the basement totally finished off with the stuff. It lasts forever!

 

[autowasherfreak]

Island II

This is HP Printer that I got off of eBay for $20.00 plus shipping with an extra paper tray and built in duplexer. Works perfect.

 

[autowasherfreak]

This is a mini closet at the end of the island, more vintage computer stuff, mostly software. There are two access door with more storage space above the room.

 

[autowasherfreak]

Apple Laser Printer from FreeCycle

Works perfect, except it's out of toner.

 

[autowasherfreak]

Cleaning

I takes me almost a whole day to vacuum, dust, and mop the room.

 

[soberleaf]

[autowasherfreak]

There's another cubby hole in the room across the hall. It also has a built in dresser and shelves. I also have a large walk in closet, and a small closet next to the bathroom.

IBM model M keyboard

I'd just about kill to get my hands on a couple of these....

 

[autowasherfreak]

Model M's Rule!

I got mine for dirt cheap on eBay. I popped the keys off soaked them in warm water with dish washing soap, to the keyboard apart and ran all the non-electronic stuff through the dishwasher. It's as good as new. I don't know how many times is been knocked of the desk. Damn things are almost indestructible. Plus I love the feel of them over today's keyboards. IBM's keyboards whether computer or typewriter are the best. I have an extra in case something happens to this one, or for a second computer

 

[autowasherfreak]

I think this is the most relaxing room in the house, with the exception of the screened in back porch.

I don't know what got me started on the lighthouses, I've never seen a real one. They are so peaceful to look at.
