Don't waste your money
21 May 2007
Format:Spiral-bound
I've been looking through books for the last year and a half because we're remodeling our kitchen this fall. This book falls in the bottom 20% of all the books I've poured through. By page 150 I found exactly one idea that I found interesting enough to flag.
The book is laid out with the idea that there are four types of kitchens: traditional, country, shaker and contemporary. They offer pictures of cabinets, sinks, etc. and indicate which category they fall into. I have found many, many examples of cabinet pulls and counter top choices, etc. that are repeated over and over again - perhaps a way to fill space in the book? I'm not sure. I do know that most, if not all, the useful information in this book could be found by picking up some current kitchen ideas magazines at your local discount store OR by picking up some information flyers at your local home improvement store (i.e. Lowe's, Home Depot).
Advantages: It is spiral bound and lays flat when opened. And, this book's sections are tabbed for easy access. Also, in the back there is a layout grid and design template (however, these are not rare in kitchen design books)

Helpful Guide for Kitchen Planning
11 Aug 2007
Format:Spiral-bound
I found this book helpful for planning my kitchen remodeling. It divides kitchens into four different types--traditional, Shaker, country, and contemporary--and after looking through the book, I was able to decide that a country kitchen was what I wanted. The book also gave me ideas for what type of cabinets, flooring, backsplash, and countertops to choose. I would recommend this book for people who, like me, are somewhat interior decoratively-challenged. It has photos of many different kinds of designs, so readers can see what appeals most to them
