Make your child's room his or her favorite place in the house by personalizing it and jazzing it up. Designer Norman features simple projects in this room design book, which is populated by bright and charming photographs. Included are painting and decoupage projects, simple furnishing and accessory projects, and practical storage ideas, all artfully displayed. Assembly instructions are rather cursory, but the projects are very simple. The clever use of decoupage to cover an existing short table with comic book pages is one of the more delightful projects. This is a sweet book but more inspiration than instruction. Recommended for larger public libraries. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
