I think it's on a sign inside near the stairway, if not outside in an upper window too. Check Shine's website under "Contact Us." All Shine/B&Q stores and their addresses are listed.<br /><br />There was some trim shop shuffling on 38th & 39th in the last two years, and I realized that the business cards I had picked up on previous trips no longer applied. The name "Shine" popped up sometime between my trips, but I was in town the week B&Q opened their second location, across from Joyce Trim on 38th. That was June of 2012. I thought it was odd that they'd have 2 stores in 2 blocks on the same street (100 block and 200 block), but both B&Q stores were still open last fall when I was back -- as well as Top Trimmings and Shine, one on top of the other.<br /><br />I don't know what business or financial affiliations all these places may have with each other, if any. All I know is there's a LOT of trim on those 2 streets, upstairs & downstairs, & I'm happy for it!

I saw no indication of that, but anything's possible! Anyway, the arrow indicated "2nd floor", which would lead me to believe there is one owner.

Isn't the arrow (right inside the door) pointing up to Shine Trim on the 2nd floor? They have a website, too. And they're affiliated with B&Q Trim's 2 locations on 38th. It's trim city in Midtown! These are exactly the kinds of things I can't easily find outside of TGD -- certainly not in the same wide variety laid out before me. <br /><br />The prices at Top Trimmings ~might~ be negotiable. I'm just sayin'...based on an experience there with a quantity of one item I was sourcing. When I turned to leave, the price suddenly dropped. Alas, not far enough, but it did drop. This was in '11? Or so. QuiltBnoreply@blogger.com
