3.0 out of 5 stars Would be good for larger kitchens and bathrooms: not so good for smaller ones, January 14, 2008

This review is from: Debbie Travis' Painted House Kitchens and Baths: More than 50 Innovative Projects for an Exciting New Look at Any Budget (Paperback)

I like Debbie Travis's style, but the homeowner faced with a kitchen smaller than about 15x15 or a bathroom smaller than 8x10 might find the design ideas difficult to incorporate into his or her own home. As the owner of a tract home with a (very typical for this city) 4x6 bathroom and a 9x10 kitchen, I didn't find much of use.

5.0 out of 5 stars So many possibilities to upgrade your kitchen, December 30, 2007
