Helped me when i had to work on kit/bath parts that i was unfamiliar with.

This book provides some good overviews of what it takes to complete each project in a remodel. It helped me identify the tools I would need and how long it would probably take. I searched online videos to supplement the how-to instructions.

The design portions of this book are outdated.

The major part of any project is being organized. And what better way to organize a kitchen or bath redesign than to practice effective time management skills? That's right: delegate to a professional who deals with this sort of undertaking every single day: a designer. Utilizing the skills of a talented kitchen or bath designer will decrease stress, improve productivity, and create more time for you to enjoy the task at hand: redesigning or remodeling the kitchen or bathroom in your home.

I'm a big fan of being prepared - that's what makes life fun. And the experts at Home Depot have compiled their favorite tips and techniques into one easy-to-use book. The book is well organized and very easy to use, which encourages us to keep it handy for quick references.

Whether you're creating a color scheme, choosing light design, wrestling with investment return issues, or wanting detailed information about the order of work done by contractors, this book is a goldmine of details for your project. Of course, my favorite section offers organizing solutions for the kitchen, including cabinet accessories and room layout, but it is sure is refreshing to see this as an issue before construction rather than an afterthought. Great planning!

This makes a great coffee-table book, since you'll refer to it time and time again. But if your coffee table is very far from your kitchen, then perhaps you'll add it to your cookbooks instead. Happy designing!
