"This valuable guide offers ideas and illustrations for the layout and design of various kitchen spaces, along with information on lighting, countertops, storage options, windows, and doors. A significant portion of the book is devoted to the kitchen do-it-yourselfer and includes projects from drywalling to installing appliances.

This review is from: Kitchens: Plan, Remodel, Build (Paperback)
I have been searching for a soup to nuts book on remodeling a kitchen. This book was more concentrated on the design aspects but provided valuable information such as seating space requirements (i.e.: how much room you need behind and to the sides) as well as design techniques to fit many different styles.
I have other books from Creative Homeowner that go much further into detail (Drywalling for example) but I was really hoping this book would give me more info on subfloors since I am planning to redo mine as part of the remodel. All in all this is a fantastic book with many aspects of a kitchen remodel you would not normally think of (at least I didn't). The book is well thought out, well organized and a quick read. I would recommend it if you are planning on remodeling a kitchen yourself, or even if you are contracting out the work.
