I would bet that there is some really nice oak under the white paint on the door. Imagine it stripped and refinished with the hardware polished to a nice shine and on the front of a piece of home furniture.
That has to be the worst Snoopy I've ever seen. The scale makes it more difficult but some erasable grid lines and a picture to copy from would do the trick.
A couple of boxes appear to have a 2008 date on them. Probably a "destroy by" date. Which means that, at the time the photos were taken, the files had some time before they were required to be destroyed. Still wrong to leave them where unauthorized people can have access to them.
That is an Eames chair. It has been painted yellow. The original color would have been natural wood in either a blond-brown or dark brown color. A genuine Eames would have a tag on the bottom of the seat stating that it is Eames and from Herman Miller.
Eldokid, I remember when folks were allowed to smoke pretty much anywhere. They were just as angry, hyper, stressed-out, anxious, irritable, and explosive as they are now. Cigarettes don't do it. Now thorozine -- that may just be the ticket.
I think Claudia is right. The keys are an alphabet, not a number pad. The black knob to the right of the pad appears to slide down toward the operator pulling in the cylindrical device that is at the front. This would be set for the imprint of thin metal plates. The machine is obviously very old. I like it, even in the poor condition that it's in, still very nice piece.
Actually it has nothing to do with the proximity to the sea. Mojolica, as well as a few other major manufacturers of ceramic tile used the shell theme. There are such tiles in the old apartment building down the street from where I live. Very far from any sea.
I agree with the lowered ceiling comment. The tops of the arched windows are too close to the ceiling. The edges where the ceiling meets the wall are sloppy, especially on the lest side. The rectangle on the floor looks like tape to me. It looks like there is an aluminum pipe that rises to the ceiling on the right. I wonder what that was about.
