Editorial Reviews

Creative Homeowner continues to publish practical handbooks for home remodeling. This volume provides info about assessing one's needs and determining the type of bath desired—with close to two dozen floor plans—as well as choices available in fixtures, flooring, countertops, storage, and lighting. Although the book is similar to the publisher's Design Ideas for Bathrooms, additional features include a financial worksheet, tips from experts, and recent remodel photos captioned with explanations of the design choices. In addition, close to 300 color photographs show the latest styles. Pair this with Kitchens: The Smart Approach to Design for pragmatic, up-to-date information on the two rooms that can be the most expensive to remodel.
