[.uk] Debbie Travis' Painted House Kids' Rooms: More than 80 ... (ISBN 0609805517)

The BEST decorating book for kids' rooms:
I've looked through several different books for decorating kids' rooms and if I could only keep one this would be it. This book shows you how to create a beautiful room for your children by just using paint...painting the walls, ceiling furniture, floor, rug, headboard, shelves, decorating accessories or whatever. I am not an artist or interior decorator but I felt like I could do every project described. Most decorating books just show you a finished room and a few comments about different unique characteristics of the room. This book gives detailed instructions for how to create the entire theme yourself. Some of the themes described are castle, safari adventure, carribbean, fairy tale, circus and many more. If you want to transform your child's room into a creative haven all on your own then you MUST have this book.

Not so inspiring:
This book had some cute project ideas, but not many that truly inspired me. Many of the projects just didn't tie together into themed rooms. To me, the rooms were not that creative nor ones that I would want to use. This book really wasn't what I was looking for for children's room ideas. If you are just looking to make a few projects (i.e. decorated lamp, storage box, or bulletin board) this book may be what you are looking for. However, if you want to totally redo your child's room another book may provide more inspiration.

My Grandkids loved their rooms:
We loved this book for Kids, and any other books that Debbie Travis has on the market. Her ideas are fantastic, and she will get your creativity juices going to start other projects. The grandkids loved their room now.
