The kitchen, no matter how small and dingy, is often the heart of the home; no wonder it's one of the most often remodeled rooms. This slim book shows some beautiful kitchens--not just spotless, unused gourmet kitchens but attractive, functional, often small rooms where you can see the dishtowels and trash can. The beautiful photographs provide tips for remodeling and show how to rearrange your kitchen gear to improve functionality and atmosphere. Highly recommended for those planning to remodel or redecorate.

Book Description
As a center of food production with space to dine and entertain, and a natural gathering place, the kitchen is truly the heart of the home. It must be attractive and comfortable, but also convenient and efficient for the storage, preparation, and serving of food. Making the Most of Kitchens is a source of practical and decorative ideas for building, remodeling, or simply rearranging the kitchen.

Over eighty-five photographs offer the best ideas in storage for food and tableware; accents for kitchen windows, cabinetry, countertop, and table that are attractive and usable; safe options for floor covering, cutlery, and stove top. Selection of equipment, appliances, and lighting is covered, with advice on getting what you really need and fitting it into a functional kitchen scheme. Advantages and disadvantages of eat-in kitchens are discussed, and there is a chapter on small kitchens that explores the potential of the tiniest spaces, including a look at innovative space-saving appliances.

Whether your kitchen is rustic or modern, wood and stone, stainless steel, or tile--Making the Most of Kitchens contains hundreds of ideas and practical checklists for making the kitchen an effective and comfortable space where friends and family are glad to gather, and meals are a pleasure to prepare.
