Tools + Materials 1. Begin by applying a wallpaper liner to the wall (see how to hang wallpaper). Let dry overnight. This makes it easier to remove the treatment when you’re ready for a change. |

Framed
Out of the closet and framed
I’ve found another way to combat my blank walls, and—bonus—it also involves displaying textile gems from the past. As seen on the Absolutely Beautiful Things blog, vintage ladies’ swimsuits and colorful tea towels can—and should—be framed and displayed as art. There are loads of affordable vintage tea towels on eBay, Etsy, and in secondhand stores, and the non-vintage market is filled with artsy, often hand-drawn and -screened designs.
The tricky part is finding an appropriately sized frame. Tea towels measure around 19” x 30”, so you’ll either have to crop the towel, add a 
background fabric, or else build or buy a custom frame. (Though Ikea’s 19 3/4″ x 27 1/2″ RIBBA frame comes pretty close.) For bathing suits and other vintage wearbles, poster-size frames should suffice. Now go clean out your closet and let those textile treasures adorn your walls as art!
P.S. This is a great idea for the bathroom, because humidity won’t hurt!

Winvian Hotel
http://www.concierge.com/ideas/styledesign/tour/detail?id=2093&page=3
The scheme: Individuality
The scene: Winvian, Morris, Connecticut
In the world of design hotels, it’s what you’d call a gimme: Get 15 name-brand architects to each create an ultimate cottage, spare no absurdity (helicopters, interior waterfalls) or expense ($1,450-a-night tabs), and you can pretty much count on an architectural hullabaloo. Alongside Hotel Puerta América in Madrid and Hotel Fox in Copenhagen, the Winvian joins the individuality trend that emerged as design hotels—originally a rebellion against cookie-cutter chains—became cookie-cutter themselves. At Winvian, there’s Barry Svigal’s glass and aluminum Greenhouse Cottage, which can be loaded with bushels of flowers for any occasion. There’s John Martin’s Camping Cottage, complete with an outdoor fireplace and screen porch for watching the creatures of the forest from a protected distance. Then there are the cottages with self-explanatory names, like the Library, Treehouse, Stone Cottage, Log Cabin, and Stable (think cozy hayloft). Most individual of all is a 1968 Sikorsky HH37 Sea King Pelican helicopter refashioned into a bar and entertainment center for the Helicopter Cottage (pictured). There’s also a spa and a Ducasse-trained chef on the premises, but at its heart, Winvian is 113 acres (bordering a 4,000-acre forest) of glorious architectural idiosyncrasy.

Where to eat NOLA
http://www.dominomag.com/resources/guide/new_orleans/eat_drink_new_orleans
- New Orleans Restaurants
- Casamento’s Restaurant
- 4330 Magazine Street
(504) 895-9761 The ultimate New Orleans oyster bar. It has tiled walls and expert shuckers. The amazing fried oyster (or shrimp) loaves are on thick pan bread rather than the usual French bread.
- Herbsaint
- 701 St. Charles Avenue
(504) 524-4114 Chef Donald Link was the first “white tablecloth” restaurant to reopen after The Storm. He’s cooking post-Katrina comfort foods like Black Angus meat loaf and more. The warm chocolate beignets are worth the trip alone.
- Langenstein’s Supermarket
- 1330 Arabella Street
(504) 899-9283 The quintessential Uptown neighborhood grocery, with the city’s best butchers (and just about the only ones left who cut meat to order) and the best local seafood. The market also sells authentic Creole prepared foods. Even better—if the post-Katrina staff is able to—they’ll ship dry goods anywhere in the country.
- Lilette
- 3637 Magazine Street
(504) 895-1636 John Harris is one of the most talented chefs in the city, and Lilette has the feel of an authentic bistro. Try the terrific hanger steak with potatoes roasted in duck fat, or the daily creative preparation of local black drum fish.
