A big help for kitchen renovations
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Small can be efficient and practical yet quite charming as we see in Ashley Rooney's Spectacular Small Kitchens: Design Ideas for Urban Spaces. Almost 40 designers address in eye-catching color images the functionality and aesthetic considerations of a small kitchen. They balance the desires of the interior architecture and the client's desires and come up with myriad design solutions: from the Feng Shui Kitchen to the integrated kitchen to the long thin kitchen. The book includes an intriguing narrative by Susan Aiello, ASID, CID, about the exciting opportunities and demanding challenges involved in designing small kitchens in large cities. I was lucky and got to see this book before it is out. With so many wonderful and colorful ideas, it is one that anyone ought to have before starting a kitchen renovation.
