The
Kitchen Idea Book
by Joanne Kellar Bouknight. Hardcover (February
1999) |
| To
many families, the kitchen is more than a place
where food is cooked and eaten. It's where parties
begin and end, homework is done, pets are fed, bills
are paid, and secrets are told over endless cups
of coffee. Everyone's got a different dream kitchen,
whether it's a serene Arts & Crafts-style kitchen,
a bustling farmhouse kitchen, or an up-to-the-minute
gourmet kitchen with hand-selected granite countertops
and professional-level appliances. The nice thing
about The Kitchen Idea Book is its accessibility:
it doesn't assume a particular budget level, layout,
style, or set of functions, but offers a wealth
of ideas to suit every taste and pocketbook. Even
better, it gives the would-be kitchen remodeler
a vocabulary to use in designing and outfitting
his or her own dream kitchen. With detailed sections
on overall design, cabinets, shelves and pantries,
countertops and backsplashes, appliances and sinks,
lighting, floors, walls, and ceilings, it covers
far more than the basics. Its sharp photography
and "For More Information" section are the icing
on the cake--this is the book to have for planning
a new or remodeled kitchen. |
