Kitchens for the Rest of Us: From the Kitchen You Have to the Kitchen You Love

Brand new kitchens that are easy on the eye and the budget. Over 4 million Americans remodel their kitchens each year and many of them have to balance what they really want with what they really can afford. Now available in a paperback edition, Kitchens for the Rest of Us is a clarion call to homeowners who yearn for granite but have the budget for laminate. Peter Lemos takes readers on a coast-to-coast tour through first-class kitchens and shows how remarkable beauty can be achieved without breaking the bank. He demystifies the entire remodeling process, from the initial inspiration and planning stage to the next steps of working with an architect or home design center. Filled with inspiration, Kitchens for the Rest of Us delivers hundreds of design ideas for storage, lighting, countertops, cabinetry, floor plans, islands, color schemes, and, perhaps most important, how to blend a kitchen remodel into the rest of the home.
