If the thought of adding wallpaper to your home makes you cringe, you may want to rethink your opinions on this seemingly outdated wall covering. There are a number of creative uses for wallpaper that have nothing to do with your walls, and don’t worry: there’s no outdated paisley print here.

1. Line a bookcase. If you have a hand-me-down bookcase that’s a bit of an eyesore, dress it up with a fun, colorful wallpaper backdrop. Simply remove the shelves and stick on a solid or printed wallpaper that goes with the rest of the room’s decor.
2. Line drawers. Instead of lining your drawers with plain old drawer liners, get a bit more creative by lining them with leftover wallpaper.
3. Dress up a dresser. Cover an entire dresser, the sides, or just the drawer fronts to bring a bit of color and a pop of pattern to your bedroom.
4. Transform tray tables. If you want to add chic side tables to your living room but you’re on a bit of a budget, make over affordable tray tables using wallpaper. Simply stick the wallpaper to the tops of the tables, then create an attractive vignette using books, a lamp, or a few romantic candles.
5. Frame it. If you have a very small amount of wallpaper that you love, turn it into a piece of DIY art using a simple, store-bought frame.

The Breakfast Klub is not only one of the most popular breakfast spots in Houston, it’s also one of the most buzzed-about breakfast eateries in the nation. Wooden tables and modern artwork fill the spacious, light-filled dining area, and it’s always filled with a diverse mix of customers, from lawyers to hip college students. Although you’re almost guaranteed to wait in line, regular diners insist The Breakfast Klub is worth it for both the delicious morning fare and the homegrown, nationally known experience.

The Katfish & Grits and Wings & Waffle are two of the most popular breakfast dishes (and yes, you’ll notice the “K” theme throughout the entire menu). Bottomless koffee and kafe au laits perfectly accompany any breakfast dish, and the eatery also serves specialty espresso beverages. Contrary to its quirky name, The Breakfast Klub also serves a full lunch menu of sandwiches, salads, and other midday favorites.
