Kitchen Redos, Revamps, Remodels, and Replacements: Without Murder, Suicide, or Divorce by Jan Weime
Kitchen Redo's, Revamps, Remodels, and Replacements: Without Murder, Suicide, or Divorce by Jan Weime by William Morrow & Co.
picture book this is not. Jan Weimer has created a rigorous tool and reference for anyone embarking upon a kitchen remodel--a tool to provoke inspiration, provide information, and produce invention. She tells the reader, "I believe hassles are avoidable if you do your homework, stay on top of the job and sever relationships as soon as you see they're not working.
" In the spirit of her very own words, Weimer then proceeds to convey the knowledge and foresight necessary to carry out such successful remodeling prerequisites, including everything from finding a designer to comparing cabinets, from lighting issues to dishwashers, and from icemakers to a sample contractor's contract.
Again, it is not a glossy collection of other success stories, but rather a vehicle for creating your own. From Booklist Many cheers to former Bon Appetit editor Weimer, who not only musters courage to relate a few personal unsavory kitchen remodeling experiences but also assumes a consumer advocate role.
This is the only guide readers need to follow through the maze of renovation. The two sections--one on construction and background surfaces, the other on specific appliances--mince absolutely no words; the writing is stellar and, despite the seriousness of the subject, engagingly humorous and playful..)
