I just looked at your beautiful East Room photos and was in awe of all the lovely and meaningful items it holds. I'm not sure if I can pick a favorite, but that lamp with the toile shade is simply to die for! The phone, foot stool, typewriter, photo of Bessie... such wonderful touches. It's Saturday and you've inspired me to get out and go "treasure hunting"! Thanks so much for the posting!<br />LauraNEgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12753520593724996121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183416806466219655.post-64903134862698866672011-08-06T02:01:31.430-05:002011-08-06T02:01:31.430-05:00Youn arelucky to have such a lovely house! the tut...Youn arelucky to have such a lovely house! the tutorials are very interesting, thank you.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01371884515613303453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183416806466219655.post-90916030682792620262011-08-04T21:33:39.747-05:002011-08-04T21:33:39.747-05:00Hi - Mark again.

In the 1920s, Smith Corona made the 8-11 Secretarial model, and here is a link that shows exactly what you have:<br /><br />http://www.typewriter.be/lcsmithsecretarial.htmMark D.

According to Home Depot (the lady I spoke with in the paint dept) the only option I had for my floors was to go with a gloss oil paint. She did have another option which would have needed a special primer, but it would have been flat. I literally had to pick flat or gloss. I went with the gloss, but I have a feeling I might not like it once it goes down. We'll see. The existing paint on my old t-g is oil.JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09831757279235998895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183416806466219655.post-37102838317504411962011-08-04T10:49:02.745-05:002011-08-04T10:49:02.745-05:00Hello Mark,

And can you tell me about ii written to the right of the brand name?<br /><br />Is ii the model number of the typewriter? I see on ebay, one can purchase typewriter ribbon for model 3LC Smith & Corona. <br /><br />I'd like to buy a typewriter ribbon for my old typewriter, but need more information. Got any clues?<br /><br />Mark, you are welcomed to come visit. It is so quiet here on this property you might need the old Westinghouse fan to create some "white noise" so you can sleep. <br /><br />My husband Jon laughs and tells people he wants to open up a B & B, but the catch is--the guests have to make their own Bed and Breakfast. Ha. ha. Do you think that will fly?<br /><br />The old wood cookstove in the summer kitchen still works. It is a 1915 South Bend Malleable. <br /><br />We spent a year working on the old Victorian prior to moving in and used the 1915 cookstove during the winter months.<br /><br />The old cookstove is fun to cook on, and we've baked bread in it too. You'll have fun making your breakfast on the old stove. Let me know when we can make a reservation for you and yours. <br /><br />Ghosts?<br />Google--"One Haunted House; Batteries Not Included"<br /><br />Mrs. D (smiling)Mrs. Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07556632048798711513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183416806466219655.post-67734082218768633522011-08-04T10:24:13.387-05:002011-08-04T10:24:13.387-05:00Hi Ann,

I'll fix my own breakfast and do the dishes, too.<br /><br />I like your color scheme and how you've married so many wonderful pieces, and I'm sure that if there are any ghosts in the house, they're very happy ones.<br /><br />I learned to type on my grandfather's Remington, which looked like yours, though not quite as high. I'll bet yours dates back to the 1920s.<br /><br />Thanks for a great tour!Mark D.
