This is a hands-on design book. Great for those that are starting to design or redesign their kitchens(daydreamers too). Included is a split page design that allows you to mix and match wall, floors, and cabinets . It also comes with reusable stickers and layout girds in the front and back of the book.It is jam packed with information to help you solve all of your design dilemmas. A
