Preparing a nursery may be a parent s most joyful and meaningful decorating project ever. Filled with visions of the newborn swathed in soft blankets and tucked in a crib with a rocker at the ready, it s easy to feel excited-and to be completely overwhelmed. Enter Baby s Room. In the same winning format as Kids Rooms, this inspirational book shows that decorating and furnishing a room for a newborn need not be difficult or expensive.

Color choices, fabrics, and themes are also explored, along with baby-friendly storage systems. To help parents visualize the possibilities, Baby s Room showcases ten innovative nurseries that blend form and function with charm and creativity. With a comprehensive source list, easy make-it-yourself projects, and colorful photographs throughout, Baby s Room delivers-everything but baby!
