Product Description

In the latest installment of her “Painted House” series, Debbie Travis shows parents how to combine fun function, and flexibility to create rooms their children will love. On her acclaimed television show and in her popular books, Travis offers thrifty, style-conscious home-decorators great ideas for achieving maximum impact at minimum cost. In her newest book, Travis’ imagination soars as she takes on the joys and challenges of designing bedrooms, playrooms, and study spaces for kids of all ages. Travis advises parents to get the creative juices flowing by listening to their kids and explains how to incorporate their suggestions in living spaces that are comfortable, safe, and appropriate for a child’s changing needs and interests. In step-by-step, fully illustrated projects that parents and children can work on together, she presents wonderful ways to use paint, fabric, paper, and other inexpensive materials to fashion everything from a little girl’s room adorned with angels and rainbows to a boy’s playroom topped with a camouflage ceiling.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST decorating book for kids' rooms, Jun 13 2003

This review is from: Debbie Travis' Painted House Kids' Rooms: More than 80 Innovative Projects from Cradle to College (Paperback)
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not so inspiring, July 12 2005
By R. Carman "Karen" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Debbie Travis' Painted House Kids' Rooms: More than 80 Innovative Projects from Cradle to College (Paperback)
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.

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.
