Rating:  Summary: Super Suite is full of great ideas! Review: I bought this book just a few months ago and I loved it! Super Suite has a lot of themes you can choose from. If you like an asian theme, a safari theme, a 'southwest roundup' theme or even a 50's theme for your room, it's all here. The crafts and ideas in this book are not that expensive and can be done no matter what your budget is! One of the most creative and innovative parts of this book is when Mark made a lamp, desk and a memo board using things you can find around the house. This book can be for girls of all ages, hobbies, styles and personalities. It's ideal for girls who want to turn their plain rooms into super suites that express a lot about themselves.
Rating:  Summary: OK but not the greatest book I've ever seen on redecorating Review: I purchased this book for my daughter. There are some cute individual ideas in this book, but it is not good for getting an overall theme for redecorating a girl's bedroom. I've seen much better books than this one. I wouldn't waste my money on it. You can find better ideas on the internet for free.

Mark satisifies an entire range of personalities in his designs! So thy will suit any teen girls interests and what they are looking to create in their room.

I drawn to purchase this book because I am dedicated CosmoGirl magazine reader which features a monthly Cool Room feature with bedroom makeovers by Mark.

Rating:  Summary: Lots of great ideas! Review: I was a little hesitant when buying this book, since it seemed like there were a lot of ultra-girly things (there IS a ton of pink!) But I was really pleased when I started flipping through the pages. Even though there are ideas that aren't my style, with a little creativity anyone can adapt Mark's outlook to fit their own taste. For example: I was inspired by his "Desert Caravan" room, however, I couldn't live with orange. I took the basic design of the wall treatmant and applied it to my bedroom, substituting 3 beautiful shades of turquoise for the orange. It looks so much better now, and I can't believe I actually pulled it off!
Other people might take one look at the book and return it to its shelf - they may think the rooms are too extravagant or over-the-top for their taste. But just because Mark gave these girls' rooms complete makeovers doesn't mean you have to invest tons of money and effort recreating the entire room! Picking out a couple accents and/or concepts can breathe new life into an old space. And there ARE many cheap and simple ways to do that.
So if you're like me, you might have to work at convincing your mom or dad to let you brighten up your bedroom, but it'll be well worth it. A lot of ideas are all about refurnishing - reusing old pieces to create a brand-new look. Even if you're not creative, this book can give you tons of ideas on where to start.
The reason why I gave Super Suite 4 stars instead of 5 is because it won't cater to everyone's tastes, but that is a very difficult thing to do. But whether your style is wild, girly, funky, romantic, elegant, or modern..... you'll like at least one thing in this book!
Rating:  Summary: Wow wow wow! Review: Just got Super Suite for my birthday and I love it. There are so many ideas in this book, it was hard to decide where to start. I noticed some of the other reviews and they are wrong. This is the only good book out there for teen decor. Most books I have seen are boring BORING. This one was really fun and colorful and inspirational. I would tell any teenager to get this book for sure.
Rating:  Summary: It's okay Review: Many people say that it's a great book. And it is pretty good. There are quality ideas in here and many varities to choose from to fit your style. But the ideas were often sort of complicated (don't get me wrong, I'm not impatient or anything) and expensive, all you have to do is look at the room indexes. Often the designer spent hundreds of dollars and incouraged girls to buy new furniture. Also, the ideas in this book can't really be mixed together to create your own one of a kind style, they need to coordinate with their matching ideas. The instruction often do not explain themselves fully, and you are left hanging wondering what to do next. I give this book three stars for having ideas that are mostly too expenisive and a little drawn out.
Rating:  Summary: Best room redecoration book EVER!!! Review: This book inspired me to redecorate my room and now it looks fabulous! 15 teen girls get their bedrooms redone (lucky) by genius Mark Montano and they all end up looking GREAT. Lots of color, lots of fun, lots of pink. Well worth the money to buy it.
Rating:  Summary: Cool Ideas! Review: This is a really awsome book! There are tons of ideas on decorating a room for girls ages 12 - 18. Surprisingly, it's about the only book out there like it. I haven't found any other teen decorating books half as good as this one. If you like ethnic and foreign decorating themes, this is definately a great book for you. There are tons of Asian, African, and especially Indian themed rooms. I would completely recommend theis book!
