TIP: Textured wallpaper not your thing?

Julie from Restyled spaces NZ

TIP: Textured wallpaper not your thing?
Styling a room to suit makes dated textured wallpaper stand out less and become just part of the room.
Buying or selling a house, or just renting it? The styling can make a big difference to how you feel about the decor in the various rooms.

I didn't know I had a problem with food, not at first. I was an active child and not yet overweight, but not as petite as my family so I had a perception that I was fat. I was always hungry and there never seemed to be enough food. I had an obsession but didn’t know it yet.

When I was thirteen, I worked in a restaurant and all of the sudden food was so accessible and I couldn't stop eating.
