4.0 out of 5 stars Very Inspirational!, January 12, 2000

By A Customer

This is a terrific book to have on hand if one is looking for style and decorating ideas. There's not much in the way of actual how-to's, but a wonderful source to page through for all of those idea-starters. A surprising variety of decor and styles are represented.

5.0 out of 5 stars Children's dream rooms..., December 10, 2000

By	Julie Lovisa (Indiana USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

THESE are what I dream of children's rooms looking like! This is not really a how-to book, but more of an idea book...to be honest, I don't even think I read it, but spent a couple hours poring over the beautiful pictures to get ideas for my 2-year old daughter's new "big girl" room. There are sections on nurseries, girls' and boys' rooms, and also a few do-it-yourself decorations for good measure. If you enjoy a look that is nostalgic, colorful, and slightly cluttery, then you will love this book!
