Can you think of anything unappealing about the design of vintage typewriters? They evoke feelings of long, arduous hours of thinking and rethinking brilliant ideas, plunking along until the last page is yanked from the rollers with satisfied uncertainty. It's old school at its best. Even if you're not a writer, you can't deny the coolness of a vintage typwriter sitting there all "I still look so good, even if you prefer a boring keyboard". Grab one or two before it's too late. Plus, it's a darned clever way to add a splash of color... » READ MORE

Crepe Paper Wall Stripe.
By ChrisjobMatt had a blank wall. And, so, he decided to do something about it.
"I wanted a solution that was cheap and easier than painting. Then it came to me—common crepe paper party streamers. They come in a variety of colors and cost as little as five bucks for a 500-foot roll. The only other thing needed is a little double sided tape to hold them in place at the top and bottom."

By Chrisjob
With two working-class science teachers for parents, we were rarely allowed to have snacks at the movies, to buy toys outside of holidays, or ambitious vacations. BUT, we ALWAYS were allowed to buy souvenirs from museum and zoo gift shops.
