From planning a makeover to tackling the nuts-and-bolts of each project, "Popular Mechanics" provides three appealing ways to create your dream kitchen. This is a real renovation on a real kitchen, so see what amazing transformations are possible on economy, mid-range and high - end budgets, either to duplicate exactly or use as inspiration. All the fundamentals are shown, in a variety of styles, along with remedies for such common problems as lack of counter space; the essentials of electricity, plumbing and ventilation; and the 'work-flow and traffic patterns' of different layouts. With everything from flooring to walls to cabinets covered, anyone can create a great new kitchen!
"The Popular Mechanics MoneySmart Makeovers" series has helped thousands redo their kitchens, bathrooms and living rooms. This inspiring volume shows authentic makeovers that anyone can accomplish. After discussing in detail all the basics that go into constructing a good porch, deck, or patio, Rick Peters gets to work and remodels one of each, three times - economy, mid-range and high-end - to demonstrate what you can achieve on a real-world budget. While there are beautiful shots to inspire you to try your own makeover, these are not studio set-ups: every project was designed and carried out on an actual family's home.
