I looked through many books when it was time to have a bathroom redone. This book although not large, had some of the best pictures and ideas of the many books I looked at. I used one of their bathrooms as the base for my remodel and it came out looking great. Definitely check this book out if you are thinking of remodeling or even just freshening up a bathroom.

A useful book for generating ideas for bathroom makeovers. We used it when planning our master bath redo. It has many affordable and practical ideas as well as helping to decide on styles and features.
