CHILDRENS FURNITURE AND TOYS - UNKNOWN

In this text, designer Terence Conran turns his knack for creating stylish, inexpensive furniture to the needs of children. The invaluable decorating and design advice, along with the innovative do-it-yourself projects included in "Children's Furniture and Toys" offer an exciting and low-cost way of providing children with creative, imaginative, and safe living spaces. And they provide parents with a way of spending valuable time with their children. The book is broken up into four parts: "Bedrooms" gives tips on painting walls, designing low-cost yet sturdy cribs, buying beds, adapting storage space, and making ingenious study areas. "Playrooms" offers novel ideas for play areas that will encourage creativity and imagination while limiting degree of mess. "Outdoors" combines learning and fun, with ideas for go-carts, garden areas, and climbing frames. And finally, "Tools, Materials, and Techniques" explains the process from start to finish so experienced do-it-yourselfers and first-time builders can all produce easy, worry-free projects that children will love.
