4.0 out of 5 stars Why don't they tell you where to buy the stuff?, May 15, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Decorating Kids' Rooms: Nurseries to Teen Retreats (Better Homes & Gardens) (Paperback)
The pictures were colorful and the ideas were very creative. The author even tells how to sponge paint, stencil, paint murals, and other challenges. I only wish there had been more info on where to buy what you see in the book and exactly what colors of what brands of paints to use. A wonderful book if you want to stay away from wallpaper!

This review is from: Decorating Kids' Rooms: Nurseries to Teen Retreats (Better Homes & Gardens) (Paperback)
I had no idea how I wanted to decorate the nursery for my first child, so I quickly turned to several books. This book contains examples of many different decors, with helpful discussions of themes, practicality, and choosing items that will last beyond the nursery stage. The book is an excellent value as it provides a lot of ideas, including instructions for creating some of the ideas shown. It has inspired me to create some of the looks in my own home.
