New Kitchen Idea Book

This is a phenomenal book full of great ideas for a kitchen project from the very simple and low cost to a total overhaul. I've referenced this book several times and own several of the Idea Books. It's a great series for anyone considering decorating and/or remodeling.

Terrific book for someone at the beginning of the planning/design process. Gives alternatives for all design elements that must be taken into account. For example, the cabinet section looks at alternatives for: doors and drawers, finishes for tops and bottoms, materials and finishes, hardware and accessories.

I borrowed this from the public library then decided to purchase my own copy. I have a tiny kitchen to update and this book was the most useful I found. It has separate chapters on cabinetry, counterops and sinks, appliances, floors and lighting. In countertops there are descriptions of the different materials and illustrations of various edge treatments. Lots of color photographs, great storage ideas.

We bought this when we started thinking about a new kitchen and dining addition. It really was a big help to narrow down our choices. THere's nothing worse than feeling as if you know what you want but you can't explain it or you haven't seen a picture of it anywhere. This book has many photos of lots of different types of kitchens, not just one style or size. It isn't arranged kitchen by kitchen, and there aren't any floor plans. PHotos are shown part by part, cabinets, sinks, pantries, etc, so its handy to see all the sinks together. We have not started work on the kitchen yet but I can't wait!!
