The newest wallpaper from Trove, a New York wallcovering company, isn't actually wallpaper -- it's wood veneer. ''We had been in wallpaper for a while, and wanted to start exploring different surfaces,'' said Randall Buck, one of the company's owners, noting that ''great ideas sometimes come from using products in ways they're not supposed to be used.'' In this case, that meant applying veneer normally used on furniture to walls. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

CORRECTION APPENDED To sit on the board of a condominium or cooperative in New York City is to exert exquisite control over your building, to decide who gets to buy Apartment 12C and to pick the color of the lobby wallpaper. But it is also a position that comes with neither compensation nor thanks, and it requires sitting through hours of bickering over questions like whether the doormen ought to wear little caps. The ranks are often dominated by retirees, real estate brokers and lawyers. There is, however, a condo on East 62nd Street, just a few steps from Fifth Avenue, where the board takes a sharp detour from the usual composition, veering off into the Las Vegas sunset and coming back with a microphone in one hand and a joke about nose jobs in the other.

Q. We have a historic house with colorful period wallpapers. Should we replace them with something more neutral before selling? A. Although sellers are frequently told to remove or to paint over bright colors and patterns on their walls, and to replace them with neutral solids like white, cream or taupe, there are exceptions to every rule. In a historic house with original wallpaper or age-appropriate reproductions, you should think twice before getting out the scraping tools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
