Some obvious ideas of where to put the baby along with some ingenious ones I would never have thought of. It's a good first book on decorating for the first born with really charming illustrations - inspirational.

This book is a joke. The ideas for making items for a baby's room is right out of pre-school. Margerine tubs for a mobile?!!!
Are you kidding me?! Don't waste your money on this book like I did unless you want to know how to turn your bathroom into a nursery (yes it's in there!).

Contrary to the other review, not everyone has a lot of space and money to decorate for their baby. If you have the desire and a little creativity, some of the ideas in this book would work very well. With my first child, I thought I had to follow all the "rules" and most of my decorating & furniture came from stores which is fine but expensive. For my next child, I am going to put some of the ideas in this book to use. I love the idea of hanging a colorful canopy over the crib with dowel rods. Babies don't care that what they are looking at is made out of a butter tub as long as it's interesting and stimulating. Children grow too fast to spend a lot of money on infant decorations.

This book has been so helpful to me. It has tons of great ideas and even ways to make a lot of items. It's has very practical advise of items you will need and suggestions. Being a first time parent - can be really overwhelming. I found the list of items you will need very helpful and made me feel more in control to make wise purchasing decisions of what items I will really need. Buying baby items and setting up a nursery can be very expensive, but I feel that there are some good affordable ideas in this book.
