This title was helpful in making plans for what my kitchen will look like someday and explaining the different types of materials and their pros and cons.

The copyright for this book is 2013 and I am wondering what changes were made in the New Kitchen Idea Book which came out more recently. I found many of the finishings to be dated for my taste but again, one can determine what is loved and what is not. For the configurations of what are not loved, one could problem solve to determine what would make the space more effective which would be better in the long run in personal design.

a pretty good idea book for how to plan and what to ask yourself before you start any projects.

The bathroom reno research led to kitchen idea books. Liked the looks of many of these kitchens. Will revisit.

This is not the first time I've looked at this book. I love it. Just wish I'd do something with my own kitchen!
And I'm looking at it again....
