[Maria · Rating 2 out of 5]

Smallest layout presented is 14' x 10'. Aesthetics & fixture info date from that brief period of time when fiber optic lighting was the exciting new technology of the future (but not so exciting that they actually have any pictures of it). Very generic kitchen book, not worth your time unless you're really on a rampage.
