Paint Can! Children's Rooms: Patterns & Projects for Colorful, Creative Spaces

The irrepressible Sunny Goode explores how decorative painting can work for children's rooms--with happy results that will delight any kid. She's created imaginative, fun rooms for little babies, for playing and growing in (ages 4-8), and for thinking and dreaming (designed for 9-12 year-olds). These are bright, safe, and personal spaces of color and lightness. Goode shows how to embellish a nursery with marching elephants or cheerful dots, wrap a girl's room in bands of vivid color, and create a creature feature pattern with blue alligators. An introduction discusses paint basics, and illustrated You Can Do It! sections interspersed throughout present important techniques.
