The title of this book should be "1,001 Master Bath Plans", or the less catchy "How to Change a Very Large Space into a Master Bathroom" because that's what this is. I live in a tiny 19th-century rowhouse with one small but functional full bath and possibly enough room for a half-bath. I was hoping for some ideas on how to turn a small space into a bathroom, but this book did not provide that. However, it does have some great pictures and good floor plans for normal-sized houses.

"Bathrooms: Plan, Remodel, Build" is a lavishly photographed and illustrated book on bathroom design and construction techniques. The authors cover the spectrum from budget to mid-range to luxurious bathrooms. Whether you want a simple functional bathroom or one that is an escape to a relaxing environment it can be found here. The chapters are divided into master bath, family bath, half bath, tubs & showers, sinks & toilets, vanities & storage, tile, stone, & more, construction basics, windows and skylights, installing fixtures, wiring and lighting, and putting it all together.

Creative Homeowner has never disappointed me with any of their publications and this one is not any different. If you are designing your bathroom or looking to remodel it you will find creative ideas and complete instructions in "Bathrooms: Plan, Remodel, Build".

Bathrooms: Plan, Remodel, Build is a superbly organized and presented, 256 page, state-of-the-art "how-to" guide for contemporary bathrooms and is wonderfully enhanced with more than five hundred full-color photographs to illustrate 55 step-by-step projects and offer a "do-it-yourself" wealth of ideas for bathroom designs, including utilizing space for maximum effect, selecting the right fixtures, and a great deal more. An excellent sourcebook for design ideas as well as hands-on problem solving, Bathrooms: Plan, Remodel, Build is the perfect addition to personal, professional, and community library Interior Design and Home Remodeling reference collections.

This book is helping us a lot as we are remodeling our bathrooms, I found that many of the recommendations are for projects much bigger and much more extravagant than what we are looking at. We have still used the book quite a bit.

We are in the process of remodeling 2 old bathrooms. This book is filled with pictures that has given us several ideas for design and color scheme. It was worth the money.
