Product Description

This is not a kitchen interior design book. It is about what a kitchen is-or should be: the heart of the home. Traditionally, the kitchen was a place of nurturing and sustenance, the hearth of the home and family. Considering the history and mythology behind the kitchen, and using color, light, and simple blessings, this beautifully illustrated, full-color book shows how to put the heart and soul back into the home. Readers will discover dozens of creative ideas for using natural light, experimenting with color, adding comfort as well as function, and much more.

After enjoying _Spirit of the Bedroom_ I ordered this one, _Spirit of the Kitchen_, and wasn't disappointed. Inspires me to think through what contributes to each living space and what detracts, distracts,or drains.
