Customer Reviews

helpful and inspiring

I disagree with some of the other writers, that thought they got better info from a Pottery Barn catalog. All of your nurseries were original and thoughtful and showed great creativity using a host of different elements from many different places, including items they already had. They didn't have "cookie cutter" on any page. Thanks for the inspiration!

Great resource for even the experienced decorator!

I usually don't find what I need in these types of books, one of many in a serial of themes, but "Ideas for Great Baby Rooms" really surprised me. I noticed it at a friend's house and after flipping through the pages I had to buy one for my library. At first you'll be swept away by the beautiful full page photographs and then when you go back and begin to read the book (so often one buys decorating books for the pictures alone, but this is an exception to that rule) you'll discover there is actually a lot of useful information as well. Every topic is covered from figuring out your budget, to safety, nursery themes (or not), shopping lists, arranging the floor plan, bargain hunting, and what to do if you don't have much time. I appreciate all of the options the author offers at each turn, and her encouragement to find your own style by using the examples in the book as a creative starting point. Many of these nurseries have a personalized feel rather than looking like a cutout from a retailer's catalog (only a couple nurseries looked dated or overdone). This book is more than inspirational, it is also informative and I find myself returning to it often.

Great decorating inspiration!

I really love this book, and it's the best one of it's type I've seen out there. It touches on everything from the minimal nursery to the baby room for triplets, to the ultimately elaborate baby suite. There's even a cute jungle room that's actually a walk in closet off of the parent's bedroom! It's got fresh ideas that haven't been done to death, and concentrates on great ideas for gender neutral baby rooms. Full color photos on every page. Also has safety advise and hints for cutting expenses, such as using a dresser outfitted with a pad on top, rather than forking out the cash for a changing table that'll only get 2 years of use. Love this book - I paid $13.00 for mine at Home Depot, an it was worth every penny!
