Forget about those old bed-in-a-bag deals--California Design Studio's gorgeous book, Bedrooms, is ready to help you create a personal, comfortable haven that is totally unique. Dazzling photography combines with suggestions straight from designers to form a book as lovely as it is practical. Finishing with a source guide, you can get started on redecorating right away--although most stores are located in California, there's plenty of national chains and mail order choices as well.

Practical considerations cover adding a home office or bookshelves, as well as appropriate choices for window coverings and mattresses. The sections devoted to rooms for guests and children show special thought for the different concerns in those areas--tired guests deserve a truly relaxing space, while it's important that children's rooms can grow with them (avoid that Pokeacute;mon bedspread--will they like it as teens?) Simple updates made with paint and fabric are suggested repeatedly, making the point that there's no need to break your budget to achieve a new look. However, this book doesn't provide much in the way of step-by-step instructions for those improvements, but certainly, for providing inspiration, it's one of the best. As it's a lightweight paperback, it's perfect for curling up in bed with in the evening. Who knows what changes you'll dream up? --Jill Lightner
