The Kitchen [antikvár]

INTRODUCTION T ^ hese days, everyone seems to live in the kitchen. It's where we talk about things both trivial and important. It's where all parties end up. It's where the children want to be from the time they can bang on pots and pans until they're home from college. It's where the computer is, and it's where the mail gets sorted. Oh, and did I say, it's where meals are made and eaten? The average kitchen design lasts 15 years. That means your kitchen is probably ready for an update. If you're like me, you spend hours in a kitchen that doesn't quite work. And you'd love to change that. You'd like to add eating space in the kitchen or reposition the appliances to eliminate gridlock around the refrigerator. Whatever the change you're considering, or if you're starting from the ground up with a new kitchcn, you know that you have a hundred decisions to make. This book isn't a coffee-table book, it's a kitchen-table book-a "cookbook" of kitchen details. Like kitchen-table wisdom, these kitchens are a combination of down-to-earth basics and sky's-the-limit ideas; I hope they will confirm your own ideas, help you when you've run out of ideas, or maybe even change your mind.
