so many ideas, and amazing pictures. It's a step by step guide to creating a kids room. what i loved about it was the focus on designing rooms so they would grow with the kids so you don't have to change it every few days. My only problem with it was that a lot of the ideas were no accesible to everyone. it is written with a much higher budget in mind than most people spend on a kids room. (or maybe it's just me)
