Rulers and gears. Aren't these stairs awesome? This reminded me that I have a wooden ruler collection I've been building over the years. And I see random gears at rummage sales quite frequently; they would make great paperweights. Tip: If you have a few wooden yardsticks, cut them down to varying lengths and stand them in a hurricane vase when you don't have fresh flowers.

Wood shop. Remember those wood shop students? They were a tight group and always had sawdust in their sneakers. I think one of those students lives here. A collection of vintage rulers is displayed on stair risers. A vintage gear completes the look.
