The BEST decorating book for kids' rooms, June 13, 2003Reviewer: Valerie
L. Mcenroe "mcenroe1" (Mason, OH United States)
I've looked through several different books for decorating kids' rooms and if
I could only keep one this would be it. This book shows you how to create a beautiful
room for your children by just using paint...painting the walls, ceiling furniture,
floor, rug, headboard, shelves, decorating accessories or whatever. I am not an
artist or interior decorator but I felt like I could do every project described.
Most decorating books just show you a finished room and a few comments about different
unique characteristics of the room. This book gives detailed instructions for
how to create the entire theme yourself. Some of the themes described are castle,
safari adventure, carribbean, fairy tale, circus and many more. If you want to
transform your child's room into a creative haven all on your own then you MUST
have this book.
