Seriously? You thought that was a typewriter??? Very creative planter...love it!
;-)
added by Kathryn to The Retro Housewife's Perfect Home
There's something about the typewriter that is alluring to a lot of retro housewives. Maybe it's the history and mystery of the women writers who stayed at home in the past. Some women will actually use the old typewriter but others will merely decorate with it in creative ways such as this.

Your final mission instructions will be typed up momentarily...just as soon as winter arrives and our typewriter is no longer masquerading as a planter. :-)

A vintage typewriter is put to good use as a planter for succulents.
added by Becky Harris to Let's Bang Out New Ways With Vintage Typewriters
What's new here: Patio plus typewriter is not a combination I've seen before. If your typewriter is beyond repair but you still love its looks, it can make for an interesting conversation piece and sculptural planter in the yard. Obviously, its condition will worsen outside, so you'll need to be someone who embraces rusty and crusty.Tips for your search: For older black manual versions, try brand names like Chicago, Underwood, Remington, Royal, Smith-Corona and L.C. Smith. You might also want to try for a specific era; just add "1940" or "1940s" or whatever era to your search.
