Constructing Kitchens: (Building Basics Series) by William Perkins Spence
If you get your kitchen right, it can be the most rewarding and exciting room in your home. Before you build or remodel, use this handy tool for deciding what to include and how to position it.
Figure out your traffic patterns and space arrangements. Select your cabinets, appliances, and accessories. Picture the impact of each activity on all the others: cooking and baking, eating and entertaining, heating and cooling, storage and display, ventilation and cleanup.
Since you're doing it yourself (or having it done), make sure every aspect is exactly what's best for you. Here's advice on cabinets and countertops: their arrangement, materials, and styles, as well as special shelves and spaces. Think through your appliances - which ones you need and where to place them.
Plan your electrical and plumbing needs, as well as your flooring, walls, and ceiling surfaces, and lighting. Enjoyable planning will provide years of satisfaction.
