Now Isn't This Handy: A Belt Buckle/MetroCard... →
TMRnyc has done it again. First, their ingenious SideWired desk, and now an equally smart solution to an age-old problem: Where is that damn MetroCard? A bit of background: The subway rushed in. Fumbling at the turnstile with his coffee, gloves, and skateboard, Patrick missed the train—again. A high-end blacksmith known for custom belt buckles, Patrick Quinn had just moved to New York. He...

kmskms asked: i spent a couple years living in the dorms on campus so i know how hard decorating can be. for hanging photos, my old roommate bought a long wire-type thing and then hung photos off of that above her desk, similar to this: http://birdandlittlebird.typepad.com/.a/6a00e550e99ce588340120a6b25bdf970b-500wi . it looked really good. and i think the portland/pnw tribute is a cute idea! definitely not too...
