Synopsis

A Room Of Your Own
Do you ever wish your room could really express who you are? Do you see yourself in a feminine retreat decorated with hearts and flowers? Or are you most comfortable surrounded by your beloved collection of teddy bears? Or do you want your room to reflect the natural world outdoors? Or perhaps something truly outrageous?
Lynette Jennings, star of the Discovery Channel's Lynette Jennings Design and frequent guest on the Today Show, can help you decide what you want your room to say about you, and then show you how to create that special space -- with loads of fun. Simple projects you can make from stuff that's easy to find and no expensive to buy.
So get ready to have fun with your room -- after all, where else can you really, truly be yourself?

About this title

From School Library Journal:

Gr 6-10-Beginning with an introduction to encourage teen girls to figure out what kind of personality they have, the author then describes four very different, attractive ways they might want to decorate their bedrooms. The suggestions are divided into four sections: "Flower Power," "Teddy Bears," "Funky Chick," and "Nature Girl." Each chapter includes wall, window, headboard, and bulletin-board ideas as well as other decorations around those themes. Checklists tell what is needed for each thematic decor and clear descriptions and color photographs for each step are provided. The author states that all projects could be financed by a baby-sitter's wages, with parental approval, but none need much, if any, adult help.
