inspiring book,
By
This review is from: Bungalow Kitchens (Hardcover)
This is a great book, very inspiring. We own a foursquare built in 1910 and we found very interesting and inspiring ideas to rebuilt our kitchen.The only negative things about this book is a lack of pictures. Many pictures were taken of the same kitchens.

The Real Deal,
By Sherry Elkins "itgirl425" (La Mirada, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bungalow Kitchens (Hardcover)
This book is great encouragement for those homeowners who know they want authentic vintage, but have to deal with current day construction fellas who just don't get it. The authors give many tips on how and where to get what you are looking for. The only drawback is that I was looking for a 1950's looking style, and this book very much focuses on an era before that. Their focus on a style largely from the 1920's has styles and functions somewhat limited to that era. Still it did help me make some remodeling choices, and the photographs are wonderful.

A must read before you remodel your old kitchen,
By Peggy McManus (Phillips Maine) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bungalow Kitchens (Hardcover)
My first impression was WOW! Here is a book for anyone who has an old house to remodel. These kitchens will fit into any house older than 1950. Bungalow doesn't begin to say it all. My son is remodeling a Californis Arts and Crafts house with obsessive zeal,whereas, my goal is just to get the feel of an old house in a new addition to a two hundred year old cape in Maine. Read the book from cover to cover.
