Good Book

The Black & Decker complete guide to Kitchens is pretty good, showing all options in making your kitchen a place you would want to be in and enjoy your time there. There ia a large number of colour photos that help in understanding what it would look like. Most importantly for me was the suggestio of tools needed for the job. I just love tools :) An excellent book, would recommend this book to anyone with little diy ideas.
Good resource for the reluctant DIY-er

Our house is now about twenty-five years old and we've recently begun overhauling and replacing a lot of stuff. Painting is easy, and laying tile isn't too difficult to learn, but tackling bathrooms and kitchens is notoriously difficult. This volume in the "Black & Decker" series is pretty good, walking you through all the pats of the kitchen -- cabinets, countertops, fixtures, appliances, floors, lighting, etc -- identifying the options for each, and showing you how to calculate costs. And, for that matter, helping you decide which parts you can probably do yourself and which you really want to call on a professional for. (Personally, I'm not about to take on electrical or plumbing systems!) There are a huge number of detailed color photos, especially for key operations like leveling tile, floating a floor, and installing under-cabinet lighting (something my wife really wants). They'll also show you which specialized tools you really need to use. An excellent book in an above-average series.
