Great book!, Oct 23 2010

This review is from: It's Your Room: A Decorating Guide for Real Kids (Paperback)
This is a great book for getting your kid interested in redecorating their room. It also works for adults who have no idea what a color wheel is. Planning, lighting, color, window treatments, and storage are all covered. Reading level is simple, without being condescending. The illustrations are very colorful, and there are helpful sidebars throughout the text.

More for Adults with a whimsy of childhood!, Sep 1 2010
By A. Jacobs - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: It's Your Room: A Decorating Guide for Real Kids (Paperback)
Since my 5 year old daughter has outgrown her nursery theme in her room, when I won this book I was excited to see what ideas it would have. After reading through it though, I was rather disappointed.First the good of the book. The illustrations were cute and definitely had the feel for a teen to enjoy. It did have some helpful little tricks to help with deciding on colors, themes and organization.
Now the bad of the book. While this is suppose to be a design book focused for younger teens and such, it requires a lot of adult interaction. It tries to explain to 12 year old teens how to start with a budget, drawing a lay out design, and making sample boards for your overall design. I am sorry, but 12 year old teens are not going to want to bother with all of that. They want pictures of rooms that are complete so they can just show it to their parents and have them replicate it!
Even though this book is suppose to be for young teens, I feel this book is more for adults with a childhood whimsy feel to it.
Listmania!
