“Super Suite” Book Review By Hope Helser

     Super Suite is a book that anyone would love to use to redecorate their room. It shows before and after pictures of rooms that girls have creatively designed. This book even has a list of stores that you might need for a few of the supplies! Although there are a few things that you may need to go out and purchase, like paint, most of the necessities you can find around your house!

One of my favorites, Morgan’s Ultra Mod, had a creative decoration that could be used in any room. I think that it’s amazing because all you need are plastic cups, thin chain or heavy ribbon to hang it with, and glue! All you do is start gluing the cups together by the edges and soon you will see a ball start to form. Once all of the cups are glued together, (it takes 250) you may want to dust the edges with a little bit of silver spray paint to give it a cooler effect. You can hang it off of a ceiling hook or just set it on a desk or shelf. It really adds something to the room, and the cups used are sold in many different colors so it will match any room!

Super Suite consists of more specific ideas, but at the same time, it lets you use your imagination to decorate your room, your way. It explains how to make each decoration, light covering, pillowcase, frame, and whatever else that room consists of. I love that because whether you are completely redecorating your room, or just wanting to find ideas to add a little something to it, it has separate directions for each creative idea.

Each of the rooms has a different name, each with the creator’s name in it. Every room has its own style; take Amanda’s Black and White Modern and Kaori’s Flower Power for example. Judging by the looks of their rooms, Amanda and Kaori are two completely different people, but both of their ideas, to me, are fabulous! Amanda decorated her room with black and white zebra striped pillows, a funky black and white striped lamp, fantastic striped walls, and creative black and white picture frames made out of buttons and dominoes. I would love to have a room like that, but I would also love to have Kaori’s room. Kaori’s room consists of beautiful pink satin curtains, decorative satin flower pillows, tissue paper flowers, and flowery frames and mirrors. Super Suite describes fifteen rooms, and anyone would be able to find the style they want for their room.

I really enjoyed reading this book, and I know that if anyone else decided to read it also, they would say the same. Super Suite is a book I think could be read by anyone old enough to use spray paint and to read. Yup, it’s that simple. It’s loaded with ideas to suit anyone’s style. – Hope
