Yesterday's News, on the Wall.

Newsworthy, the latest wallpaper from Lori Weitzner, a textile and product designer, is made from strips of recycled newspaper woven together to create a textural surface. ''It's similar to grass cloth, which is a very popular wallcovering where they weave grass on a loom and layer it on paper,'' Ms. Weitzner said. Replacing the grass with newspaper (you can still make out some of the text) was a way to create something ''beautiful and interesting,'' she said. The strips are woven with nylon thread to make the paper more durable and finished with a water-based topcoat that helps protect against yellowing and staining. Newsworthy is 47 inches wide and $125 a yard (to the trade). Information: (888) 609-5551, weitznerlimited.com. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
