Review
The most stylish nurseries aren't inspired by the Disney movie du jour. They're inspired by imagination. New mother Jessica Strand explores what makes a nursery special in "Baby's Room: Ideas and Projects for Nurseries"
In it, she combines practical advice with decorating ideas to help parents create nurseries that are safe and functional as well as attractive. The book discusses the basic components of a baby's room, including lighting, walls, windows, floors, storage and furniture selections. Strand also gives instructions for projects that can personalize a nursery, such as a mobile of family photos and an easy-to-make crib canopy.
The last part of the book looks closely at 10 nurseries and the elements that make them special. The rooms represent a variety of styles. -Chicago Tribune

Product Description
In the same winning format as Kids' Rooms, Baby's Room is a brightly illustrated guide for parents looking to create the ideal room for a new baby. Part inspiration, part how-to, the book's photographs and clear descriptions show that preparing a room for a newborn need not be difficult or expensive. The front half is a discussion of the various components of a nursery. Here the author considers basic elements such as color, lighting, and furniture, and covers everything from cribs to diaper disposal. The second half profiles 15 examples of great nurseries and offers 10 step-by-step projects.

classy baby room ideas, 11 Jun 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Baby's Room: Ideas and Projects for Nurseries (Paperback)
okay, i admit, i'm very picky when it comes to decorating. i recently had a baby and when it came to designing her room, i was in a quandry as to how we ideally wanted to decorate it. I'm a designer, so i prefer to stray from the pack and create a unique environment, yet still maintaining comfort and class. This book brought it all together! The colors, themes and choice of furniture were ideal to what we had in mind. No corny ideas in this book. The rooms are designed so that they can grow with the baby for a while as well. I'm hoping our little girl will enjoy her garden theme for at least 5 more years :) If you're one to do projects, the book instructs you on how they created a few of the room accents...a floral coat rack, for example.Great ideas, great photography, great book.

Projects but no great ideas, 9 July 2004
By J. Fernandez - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Baby's Room: Ideas and Projects for Nurseries (Paperback)
I was somewhat disappointed in this book in that it was really geared towards girls' rooms. Some of the ideas were helpful. But in looking back, I don't think that I should have bought this book. The photographs were very limited as well. I was looking for ideas and I didn't find them here.

An Inspiring Book, 22 May 2005
By K. Hemmer "kathehemmer2" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Baby's Room: Ideas and Projects for Nurseries (Paperback)
This is truly an inspiring beautiful book.It revolves
completely around babies and their myriad needs.Most of the
rooms could be called unisex for an infant.All babies like
stuffed animals,mobiles and have the same baby needs,e.g.crib,
changing area,rocking chair.
I did enjoy the little ideas that came with it-"The Asian
Look".How beautiful for a little adopted girl from China.I have
a Beatrix Potter "Peter Rabbit" room in blue & white,for my
grandson's room.This interested me because there was a
vintage theme of Beatrix Potter (pg.148)for girls done in
pink and green.They both hold the same characters on their
shelfs and I had not seen this book when I decorated.
In many ways,you see,we get ideas for either boy or girl
on each page.This will of course change (the minor decor)as
the child ages.
It is good to be reminded of the size of crib slats,lead
free paint,and other safety issues.Also,to contemplate flooring,
and the large amounts of storing space you will need.And do
check vintage toys and flea-market furniture to meet safety
requirements.
If you are looking for projects,Better Homes & Gardens,
has several soft cover books on the subject.These can usually
be found in a large Home Improvement Store or Library.
