Subway Scrawlin'

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: As someone who creates printed material for a living, I often think I should be more outraged when I see graffiti on posters in the subway. But instead, I am 100% entertained. Here are some of my latest finds down in the bowels of NYC.

(And you're welcome for that "bowels of NYC" line. I thought it might be gross/scary/apropos, you know, given that Halloween is on its way. Have a gross/scary/happy one!)

7 Items That Were Supposed To Be Door Handles, But Are Not

Inspired by this post over at Daniel Kanter's "Manhattan Nest" blog on changing out the hardware on a bathroom vanity, I recently set to work finding some new door handles for a grody old TV stand that I got from Target back in the day. (I figured it was an inexpensive way to change the look of a piece of furniture I can't afford to replace right now.) (I'm on a kick--can you tell?)

So I got to searching "handle" on Etsy.com. And oh, how I was distracted by the totally-not-drawer-handle results! Check it.

[Incidentally, I have gotten NOwhere on my TV-stand-door-handle search. Got any recommendations? I am looking for something that's 96mm or 3 3/4". Awesome okay thanks.]
