Kitchen upgrades

Finally going to tackle your horrible kitchen? This book covers kitchen design, materials, specific DIY projects, and case studies of renovations. Really useful are product comparisons for items such as countertops, cabinets, and appliances. The projects include installing cabinetry and how to create a layout for tiling work. Example designs include modifications for handicapped users. There are better sources for glamorous galleries of designs for this part of the home, such as Heather J. Paper's The New Kitchen Idea Book, but this volume provides a variety of advice, design, and how-to. -VERDICT Highly recommended-read this guide before you dive into that kitchen remodel. © Copyright 2017.
