newsworthy newsprint

I don't know how many of you out there still read the printed newspaper everyday (yes mom, I know you do), but to those of you who do, the home design industry says, "thank you." Recycled newspaper items are turning up everywhere in home decor, even as furniture. I love when designers take the time to find new uses for already existing materials, creating something new, beautiful and good for the environment.

If you love the look of recycled newspaper on your wall but can't afford to wallpaper you whole room (or you're a renter like I am and your landlord won't allow it), check out CB2's handwoven 'edition' wall art. Just remember that since each piece is handwoven, each one is unique and the colors will vary.
