Book Description
The first book to present excellent design for children's rooms, these unique spaces are created by well-known designers, parents, and often even the kids themselves. Proving that good design is not just for the rest of the house, Room for Children takes children's spaces with creative seriousness. Whether for a newborn, toddler, or teenager, the rooms shown here enrich the experience of childhood while inspiring with their imaginative design. Showcasing work by top-notch designers, including Kelly Wearstler, Charlotte Moss, Alessandra Branca, Amanda Nisbet, and Thomas Jayne, among many others, the rooms offer a diversity of styles, from traditional to modern, formal to whimsical. Whether in apartments, houses, or country homes, for a single child or for several children, each creates a vision of childhood at its best. In addition to bedrooms, children's spaces devoted specifically to work or play areas illustrate clever solutions to typical design problems. With stunning photography by top interior photographers, such as Pieter Estersohn, Paul Costello, William Abranowicz, and Melanie Avecedo, Room for Children proves that children's rooms are a new frontier in design and is sure to appeal to designers as well as kids and their parents.

Book Description
Decorating a child's room is very much like buying the child clothes: however terrific your choices, they'll soon be outgrown and need replacing. That's why Mom and Dad will really go for these 30 easy-to-build, money-saving projects-including several kinds of desks, a free-standing chalkboard, and jigsaw wall art. And it's all based on revamping and accessorizing existing furniture to keep pace with a youngster's changing needs, rather than starting from scratch. None of the projects require advanced woodworking skills and most can be completed in a single day. From the treasure chest table made from an old toy chest to the Drop-Leaf Flower Desk or Goal! Bed, every project features cool stuff that kids will love.
