House Beautiful Kitchens: Creating a Beautiful Kitchen of Your Own

I loved this book. I’ve read some reviews that call it “dated” but that wasn’t my impression at all. 99% of the kitchens featured are classy and timeless (even the ones that weren’t my style!). In my photo you can see I marked many pages with great ideas. And I found my dream kitchen here! I was looking for the right style to remodel my kitchen and I found it here. It was love at first sight.I truly recommend this book if you are looking for timeless classic kitchen ideas.

We are designing our kitchen without help, since most of the designers we've turned to have been more glorified cabinet salespeople than true designers. It's a learning process. Anyway, this book has been incredibly insprirational. It is chock full of photos (and suggestions) and we have found ourselves looking through it multiple times. Often saying, "Oh, I want to show you . . ." It's now kept next to our graph paper and pencils.

Interesting but out of date for todays designs.

I have a bookcase filled with kitchen books, remodeling, magazines etc. I love this book because the kitchens profiled are not cookie cutter. The owners are creative and the spaces are unique. Truly an inspirational kitchen book.

Thought it might be useful, purchased used.So dated.

This book is excellent! I think the people who have it lower ratings must not have read it, just looked through the pictures. It is full of ideas and it explains things thoroughly. I have about 15 kitchen books and this one has been one of the most helpful.

If you are thinking of renovating or designing a kitchen, this book is full of ideas and styles to consider. Some top designers kitchens are featured in here. Beautiful, thick book with the latest features in kitchens and tips on designing a kitchen.

I love kitchen books. Through the years I have purchased so many but never have I enjoyed one as much as this new book.It's fresh and current. If your like me you will find something good you can use in your own kitchen from every single kitchen featured.
