Customer Reviews

Realistic, frugal, and original ideas
All the apartments are in Paris and are real homes, and not retailer showrooms. The Parisians do a lot with their apartments which are tiny and Manhattanesque. Pretty inspirational. They don't go for super coordinated, Pottery Barn Kids, overdesigned looks. Instead they use lots of found objects and antiques. This book is a good companion to Marisa Bartolucci's Living large in 1000 sq feet or less.

This is the Real Thing
I am glad one of the reviewers pointed out what was different about this book or I wouldn't have bought it. This isn't a book providing instant-chic, formulaic, over designed looks a la pottery barn and martha stewart for McMansion buyers. this is the best of european style---creative, individual, non-commercial, mix and match. Every single room was an inspiration to me. There are no specific ideas I plan on copying---instead it has inspired me to be more creative and less bourgeois and allow my son's room to reflect who he is.

a lovely book on kids rooms
I enjoyed this book mainly because of its casual, unfussy and down-to-earth approach to decorating children's rooms.

kids' rooms needn't be expensive. they can be full of cheap treasures which give their owners a true delight.
