Customer Reviews

Designer Babies!!!
Those poor under privileged designer babies! The rooms in this book are lovely and the ideas simple but interesting however the children whose room are show seem to not own any toys apart from the odd designer antique bear. As both an interior designer and a mother I can tell you there is fat chance of you getting away with that in the real world. Some real rooms with real solutions would have been nice. Nice for your coffee table, right up to the point your 0-3 year old crayons in it.

Inspirational
I thought this was a beautiful book, and would make a gorgeous present for new parents. It is full of ideas, both in the text and in the illustrations, and is quite clear that babies' and children's rooms are an on-going, ever-evolving project that grow with the child.
