Almost stole it from the library

Okay, I really wanted to before I moved but didn't. This is a great book about kids rooms. I like that the style isn't all focused on TV characters or really childish themes. Instead it shows rooms that leaves room for individual creativity. If you are a parent like me who spends time in your child's room and want to make it a space that you also like being in this book will inspire you. There isn't any how-tos in this book just descriptions and the resource guide in the back of the book won't help you to create these rooms since most of the objects in them have been lovingly created. But the book is just fun to have around while creating your child's room.

a lovely book on kids rooms

I enjoyed this book mainly because of its casual, unfussy and down-to-earth approach to decorating children's rooms. kids' rooms needn't be expensive. they can be full of cheap treasures which give their owners a true delight.

This is the Real Thing

I am glad one of the reviewers pointed out what was different about this book or I wouldn't have bought it. This isn't a book providing instant-chic, formulaic, over designed looks a la pottery barn and martha stewart for McMansion buyers. this is the best of european style---creative, individual, non-commercial, mix and match. Every single room was an inspiration to me. There are no specific ideas I plan on copying---instead it has inspired me to be more creative and less bourgeois and allow my son's room to reflect who he is.

Realistic, frugal, and original ideas

All the apartments are in Paris and are real homes, and not retailer showrooms. The Parisians do a lot with their apartments which are tiny and Manhattanesque. Pretty inspirational. They don't go for super coordinated, Pottery Barn Kids, overdesigned looks. Instead they use lots of found objects and antiques. This book is a good companion to Marisa Bartolucci's Living large in 1000 sq feet or less.
