Synopsis

In the same winning format as Kids' Rooms, Baby's Room is a brightly illustrated guide for parents looking to create the ideal room for a new baby. Part inspiration, part how-to, the book's photographs and clear descriptions show that preparing a room for a newborn need not be difficult or expensive. The front half is a discussion of the various components of a nursery. Here the author considers basic elements such as color, lighting, and furniture, and covers everything from cribs to diaper disposal. The second half profiles 15 examples of great nurseries and offers 10 step-by-step projects.
