Summary: A terrific resource
Review: I love this book! I moved into a new home around the same time I had my first child and although my first priority was keeping my house organized and child-friendly, maintaining a semblance of style was a near second. This book gave me some great ideas, most of which were financially accessible (think Ikea), and helped me create a family room that transitions easily between a completely kid-friendly play space during the day and a comfortable and attractive place for adults to hang out a night. Plus, the book is loaded with beautiful pictures and makes for fun browsing, even if you are not a redecorating mode.

Summary: Very informative, beautiful book
Review: I love this book! It has wonderful pictures of beautiful spaces. I love how this book really speaks to how to incorporate children into your decorating so they feel comfortable and have fun but without making your house feel or look like a nursery school. The author has lots of fun but is very practical with her ideas. Very useful.

Summary: Best family home book.
Review: I love this book! Not an "odd combination" as another reviewer suggests, but one that shows that a family home can be sophisticated,cool, fun, comfortable, and ever-adapting to a family's many needs--maybe it is more for those of European tastes than, should I say, non-Europeans? I am now a Joanna Copestick fan and look forward to getting more of her books.

Summary: pretty pictures, lifestyle how-to manual
Review: What a very odd combination of entries for a book: tips for raising children, running a home, decorating...it's like a how-to manual for English yuppies. There are beautiful photographs and ideas of things--chair pads, curtains--and how to duplicate them, all in styles and colors that will soon be dated, but for now are very pretty. For all the non-English: garden = yard.
