Re: What to get for the junker who has (almost) everything??? It's a "challenge" that's for sure!

Oh my gosh... the royal typewriter!! Love it!! Believe it or not I have my Mother's Royal typewriter sitting in my home office, Her dad purchased it for my mom in 1950 brand new. (I'm giving away my age now....shhhh!!!!!)when she went to business college in 1950. I learned to type on it and it sits in mint condition on my credenza as a conversation piece (the credenza is a re-purposed old dresser).

Re: Faux Painted Walkway

Thank you for all the lovely comments regarding my faux walkway. I used paint made for cement. I took a real brick that I liked to the paint store and matched the red color and I just chose a grout that I thought looked like cement grouting. I don't remember the colors and the containers I took to the the paint recycling center. I added a good bit of sand to the paint just until I thought it was a good consistency. I painted the entire slab in the grout color, let it dry, then I used an ordinary kitchen sponge to sponge on the brick, using the sponge in two different directions. After that dried, I literally went over it rubbing dirt randomly in spots where the cement and sand was higher etc.
Then I sealed it with a driveway clear seal, matte finish.
Again, thanks for the nice comments.
