The Complete Kitchen, Bathroom and Bedroom Planner
Laurie Williamson

Crowood Press, 2001

The Complete Kitchen, Bathroom and Bedroom Planner

I was so excited to receive this book. The content was good and looked practical but the book was written in metric and so was of no value to me. I couldnt use the "floor planning" part due to this problem.

Kitchen And Bath Idea Book
Joanne Kellar Bouknight, Andrew Wormer

Taunton Press, 2007

Great Idea Book

+ Fabulous!

This is an idea book - not a contractors or a how to book. We are custom building a home which will end up costing several hundred thousand dollars. Even a small idea from a book such as this can be invaluable. We got a few great ideas. Our master bath is based on an idea suggested here.
