All the information you need to design your perfect kitchen, Jun 29 2006
By Love to read - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kitchen 1-2-3: Design and Planning (Hardcover)
I purchased this book to give me ideas for the new development house we were purchasing. The home builder's design center expects you to pick your home upgrades in less than two hours. And without any research you're a basically overwhelmed on what to pick. The book lists pros and cons on different countertop materials, types of cabinet wood, floors, sink materials, etc. The book is geared toward someone designing the whole kitchen, but it was extremely helpful for me in what upgrades to pick. I also used it after moving in to add more kitchen storage.This book has information on understanding the basics of kitchen design: color theory, work triangle, food prep center, cooking center, cleanup center, dining center, communications center. Includes ten kitchen shapes and styles to inspire: Old World Flavors, Country Comfort, Traditional and more. Includes lots of helpful checklists to determine what you want in your new kitchen. Also, has a detailed shopping guide to make informed decisions on cabinets, countertops, appliances, fixtures, lighting, flooring and more.

resource book on kitchen designs, Feb 14 2008
By sSWA - Published on Amazon.com
I first saw an earlier version at the libary and got this because I thought it would have more up to date ideas. However, it did not. If you are looking for a good resource book that explains the basics of kitchen design this book is for you! If you need detailed information on the latest kitchen storage or trends like raised dishwashers it only skims the surface. I liked this book enough I would have everyone building or remodling a kitchen read it. It help you really think about the needs you might have for a kitchen. It might not however, give several ideas on how to solve those needs.

Has some good info in it. I think it cost to much, but is a nice hard back book.
Listmania!
