"...practical advice with decorating ideas to help parents create nurseries that are safe and functional as well as attractive." -- Chicago Tribune, October 4, 2002

Product Description

Preparing a nursery may be a parent’s most joyful and meaningful decorating project ever. Filled with visions of the newborn swathed in soft blankets and tucked in a crib with a rocker at the ready, it’s easy to feel excited-and to be completely overwhelmed. Enter Baby’s Room. In the same winning format as Kids’ Rooms, this inspirational book shows that decorating and furnishing a room for a newborn need not be difficult or expensive. Author Jessica Strand offers practical counsel on all the elements of room layout-everything from furniture and fixtures to lighting and window treatments. Color choices, fabrics, and themes are also explored, along with baby-friendly storage systems.

To help parents visualize the possibilities, Baby’s Room showcases ten innovative nurseries that blend form and function with charm and creativity. With a comprehensive source list, easy make-it-yourself projects, and colorful photographs throughout, Baby’s Room delivers-everything but baby!

5.0 out of 5 stars classy baby room ideas, June 11, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Baby's Room: Ideas and Projects for Nurseries (Paperback)
okay, i admit, i'm very picky when it comes to decorating. i recently had a baby and when it came to designing her room, i was in a quandry as to how we ideally wanted to decorate it. I'm a designer, so i prefer to stray from the pack and create a unique environment, yet still maintaining comfort and class. This book brought it all together! The colors, themes and choice of furniture were ideal to what we had in mind. No corny ideas in this book. The rooms are designed so that they can grow with the baby for a while as well. I'm hoping our little girl will enjoy her garden theme for at least 5 more years :) If you're one to do projects, the book instructs you on how they created a few of the room accents...a floral coat rack, for example.
Great ideas, great photography, great book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Projects but no great ideas, July 9, 2004
This review is from: Baby's Room: Ideas and Projects for Nurseries (Paperback)
I was somewhat disappointed in this book in that it was really geared towards girls' rooms. Some of the ideas were helpful. But in looking back, I don't think that I should have bought this book. The photographs were very limited as well. I was looking for ideas and I didn't find them here.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Inspiring Book, May 21, 2005
By K. Hemmer "kathehemmer2" (Syracuse, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is truly an inspiring beautiful book.It revolves
completely around babies and their myriad needs.Most of the
rooms could be called unisex for an infant.All babies like
stuffed animals,mobiles and have the same baby needs,e.g.crib,
changing area,rocking chair.
I did enjoy the little ideas that came with it-"The Asian
Look".How beautiful for a little adopted girl from China.I have
a Beatrix Potter "Peter Rabbit" room in blue & white,for my
grandson's room.This interested me because there was a
vintage theme of Beatrix Potter (pg.148)for girls done in
pink and green.They both hold the same characters on their
shelfs and I had not seen this book when I decorated.
In many ways,you see,we get ideas for either boy or girl
on each page.This will of course change (the minor decor)as
the child ages.
It is good to be reminded of the size of crib slats,lead
free paint,and other safety issues.Also,to contemplate flooring,
and the large amounts of storing space you will need.And do
check vintage toys and flea-market furniture to meet safety
requirements.
If you are looking for projects,Better Homes & Gardens,
has several soft cover books on the subject.These can usually
be found in a large Home Improvement Store or Library.

There are some unique ideas in this book. More discussion than some others about the background to the particular rooms they were highlighting.

Nice book.
