Book Reviews of New Kidspace Idea Book (Taunton Home Idea Books)

Book Review: Some cool and creative ideas but not entirely what I expected
Summary: 3 Stars

This may very well be a (5) star book for someone else who discovers the fantastical room that speaks to them and as a consequence sets off to replicate. However, what I really hoped for was a book filled with creative ideas *and* substantive do-it-yourselfer content. If you are looking for a step-by-step guide or recipes you won't find it here. Essentially this is kids-only interior design magazine a la Architectural Digest in book form. The majority of creative rooms are anchored by tailored furniture hugging the contours of the room and atmospheric wall and furniture paint applications. Lots of bunk-bed variations if that's your thing. There is quite a bit of custom work here that looks *expensive* -- themed carpeting and rugs, or a domed ceiling done up celestially like a planetarium.

Personally, I liked the crawlspace under the staircase that was converted into a hobbit-sized, carpeted, well light personal space for reading and/or solitude with a framed entrance.

Summary of New Kidspace Idea Book (Taunton Home Idea Books)

The New Kidspace Idea Book presents fresh and fun ideas for designing a child's room that will also solve parents' space and storage problems. The new book complements the original with 100 percent new photographs showing completely new ideas for bedrooms, playrooms, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces. Topics include tailoring designs to suit the interests of the individual child, customizing a plain room, making the most of unusual spaces, adapting spaces to children's changing needs, and creating safe spaces for active play. Shared rooms, storage solutions, and what to do with computers and televisions are all treated. The book's simple and accessible approach emphasizes quick fixes involving paint and off-the-shelf products, weekend projects that kids can take part in, and makeovers as children grow older. New Kidspace Idea Book is written for parents but will spark kids' own creative ideas too.
