Full Description
This title demonstrates that anyone can transform their kitchen for less with stock cabinetry and a well-thought-out plan. A unique feature is that the authors' own kitchen is the featured project. Filled with great advice and lessons and an inspirational gallery at the end of the book. A kitchen remodelling project can be daunting and expensive, even for an experienced woodworker. Thanks to cabinet and furniture maker Jonathan Benson, anyone can transform their kitchen for less by using stock cabinetry and a well-thought-out plan. Benson imparts the importance of having a solid design that meets the needs of everyone using the space. Peppered with comments from his wife, Sherry, a former executive chef and restaurant owner, the Bensons show that working as a team can make a kitchen remodel go a little more smoothly, even if opinions differ. "Transforming Your Kitchen with Stock Cabinetry" is filled with great advice and lessons, such as what to know before going cabinet shopping, how to live in a construction zone, and the pros and cons of various countertop materials.
What makes this book unique is that the Bensons' own kitchen is the featured project, guiding the reader through a complete remodel. The inspirational gallery at the end of the book is filled with beautiful photos and gives true meaning to the term 'dream kitchen.'
