Decorating a child's room is very much like buying the child clothes: however terrific your choices, they'll soon be outgrown and need replacing. That's why Mom and Dad will really go for these 30 easy-to-build, money-saving projects-including several kinds of desks, a free-standing chalkboard, and jigsaw wall art. And it's all based on revamping and accessorizing existing furniture to keep pace with a youngster's changing needs, rather than starting from scratch. None of the projects require advanced woodworking skills and most can be completed in a single day. From the treasure chest table made from an old toy chest to the Drop-Leaf Flower Desk or Goal! Bed, every project features cool stuff that kids will love.

Sieta Lambrias has been designing rooms for friends and family for many years, as well as creating decorative rooms in her own home for her two young daughters. After graduating from the Institute of Interior Design, she set up Bubblegum Interiors, a company specializing in children's room design.
