5.0 out of 5 stars Good place to start March 21, 2012
Format:Paperback
The book has thirty seven before and after remodeled kitchens that clearly illustrate real-life possibilities. There are many specific ideas to apply to any kitchen project even if a major remodel is not undertaken -- small changes that can make a difference in both utility and appearance.

Almost every conceivable style of decor is covered, along with whether the existing kitchen lay-out is to remain the same or a major change to the floorplan is desired. This is a good no-nonsense reference book to start the wheels turning before beginning a kitchen update.
