Bostik Craft Blog – not what you’d normally use it for… #TinyRoomMakeover

9 Things This Woman Craves From Her Bedroom
So I got married and moved into my house 22 years ago (almost to the day, actually – 4th July was our 22nd wedding anniversary). It’s a 1920’s semi, which was decorated in a very neat and very uninspired early 90’s fashion – woodchip on the ceilings, with plain and painted textured wallpaper all round.
