3.0 out of 5 stars More Focus on Toddler Rooms Than Baby Rooms, January 29, 2008

By 

Lizzy C (Memphis, TN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Babyspace Idea Book (Taunton Home Idea Books) (Paperback)

I bought this book hoping to get a lot of ideas for a baby room. I was really disappointed to see that more than half of the book was devoted to toddler and children's room. The few baby rooms pictured were not really my style and I don't think there is anything that I will copy. Most were either too modern or too frilly.

If you are looking for toddler ideas or would like to design a baby room that will take your baby into childhood, this is probably a great resource. If you are looking for more traditional baby rooms I would suggest "Sunset Ideas for Great Baby Rooms" (also sold on Amazon).

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely to look at, September 10, 2006

Not much text but that was well made up for with beautiful pictures. The rooms are really beautiful and except for a few weird ones (fabulous but not achievable for the average person) the rest of the styles were achievable and mostly unique.
