In France since 1797, Zuber claims to be the last factory in the world to produce woodblock printed wallpapers and furnishing fabrics. Zuber uses the original woodblocks (more than 100,000) engraved from the XVII -- XIX century and is classified as an "Historical Monument". Zuber Cie's panoramic wallpapers include Vue de l'Amérique du Nord, Eldorado, Hindoustan, les Guerres d´Independence , and Isola Bella. 
In the 1930 restoration of Bloomsbury, Mr and Mrs John Weeks selected Isola Bella for the front North parlor. At some point a resident believed he could wash the panels. The resulting damage,
thankfully confined to one panel, can be seen here:
The paper was torn; pulled from the wall and then glued with superglue (of all things); and, the original paint was washed away!
One of the summer 2009 restoration projects was the front parlor. With the parlor completely emptied and with great care and talent, the room was completely painted. It took the Gary Hunter painting team more than 80 hours to paint the room. Following the restaging of the room, Taraworth of Washington DC was employed to restore the panel above the door. The amazing result is a beautiful panel which flows with the original works. Perhaps with Tarawoth's restoration, the Zuber paper will withstand another 80 years!

BRUCE AND KATHERINE BROWN OF BLOOMSBURY INN CHOSEN INNKEEPER OF THE YEAR IN THE BEST OF BEDANDBREAKFAST.COM AWARDS
Camden SC, USA -- Bruce and Katherine Brown of Bloomsbury Inn in Camden, South Carolina, were selected as an Innkeeper of the Year in the United States in the annual Best of BedandBreakfast.com Awards, 2009-2010. The Best of BedandBreakfast.com Awards are based upon a qualitative and quantitative review of the nearly 100,000 independent reviews submitted to BedandBreakfast.com, the leading online B&B directory and reservation network worldwide.
"BedandBreakfast.com surveys show that independent reviews are the most important factor when choosing a B&B. In fact, according to BedandBreakfast.com's most recent survey, 96% of consumers consider reviews to be somewhere between important and essential when selecting a place to stay, and 12% will not make a reservation at a property without them. We're delighted that inngoers concur that Bloomsbury Inn is deserving of its accolades from travelers," explained BedandBreakfast.com's Sandy Soule, one of the most highly recognized authors and a spokeswoman for the B&B industry. "Clearly, the Browns earned stellar reviews from inngoers for its quality accommodations, breakfasts, amenities, and wonderful hospitality and service," commented Soule.
"It's a true honor to be chosen for a Best of BedandBreakfast.com award, and we thank our guests for the positive reviews that resulted in this award, stated Katherine Brown, Bloomsbury owner. "It is gratifying that our guests took the time to share their comments about our hospitality, accommodations, breakfasts and attention to the details which set Bloomsbury apart," commented Brown. Here's an excerpt from one of our reviews: "From the moment you arrive at the Bloomsbury, you know that it is something very special. This is one of the most remarkable B & B. The knowledge Bruce and Katherine have of the area, the history, and tour of their home was so thorough and interesting. Restaurant suggestions, places to visit, etc. made our visit to Camden so enjoyable. Their home is a real treasure. The attention to detail takes you back in time. The hosts, the house, the place......everything fits."
