It had some OK ideas, but didn't really spark my interest in any of the designs.

Every room in this book was gorgeous. However, unless you are a mural painter (or know one who will give you a break) or have a very large budget, then only about one third of the information contained in it will be helpful to you. Some of the rooms even required built-in nooks in the walls for the beds. It was a little more elaborate then I had anticipated--some of the designs painted on the walls were amazing, and there is no way someone who is not artistic (like myself) could even begin to attempt them.I just wanted some ideas for my daughter's room, not something that would make me sick because it was so beautiful and I couldn't do it! It is a great book, just be warned that you need a fairly large budget, or the artistic talent of Michelangelo.

My husband and I have 3 children ranging from age 11 to age 7. We had several ideas about what we wanted and this book helped us to refine our ideas. The kids were very excited because they could look at pictures and discuss what they liked and didn't like about the suggestions.

I have serious asthma, and my mom bought this book when it cametime to re-decorate my room, because there is a section for childrenwith asthma and other disabilities (like blind-ness, and kids in wheelchairs). I used to wheeze every night, and I couldn't fall asleep easily at all. Now, my mom made my room look really cool, and I can breathe easy. (For those of you who have the book, it's kind of like the jungle picture.) Thank you, Megan Connelly, you've helped me so much!
