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.
