Some cool and creative ideas but not entirely what I expected,
This may very well be a (5) star book for someone else who discovers the fantastical room that speaks to them and as a consequence sets off to replicate. However, what I really hoped for was a book filled with creative ideas *and* substantive do-it-yourselfer content. If you are looking for a step-by-step guide or recipes you won’t find it here. Essentially this is kids-only interior design magazine a la Architectural Digest in book form. The majority of creative rooms are anchored by tailored furniture hugging the contours of the room and atmospheric wall and furniture paint applications. Lots of bunk-bed variations if that’s your thing. There is quite a bit of custom work here that looks *expensive* — themed carpeting and rugs, or a domed ceiling done up celestially like a planetarium.
Personally, I liked the crawlspace under the staircase that was converted into a hobbit-sized, carpeted, well light personal space for reading and/or solitude with a framed entrance.

|Great book,
I love this book, it is full of ideas, and that is what they are doing with this book, it’s not a do it yourself book, it’s an idea book, as they call it. But most of these room can be used by anyone, if they really love it, and it’s always good to put your personal touch to it anyway, it doesn’t have to look just like the picture. I am an Interior Designer, and I have this and many of their books in my collection. Can’t wait until they come out with more. Whenever I go out to a client that wants a child’s room done, I take this with mw to get an idea of what they like, and we go from there, they never look just like the pictures, or near them, but either the mood, colors, or theme are picked up. It is a 5 star book
