5one of the best books on kitchen design  May 26, 2009 By L. M. Keefer
I teamteach a course on kitchen design with a designer and kitchen design store, and have looked through scores of kitchen design books to find the ones with the best pictures, layout, questionnaires etc. for the home owner to begin organizing their ideas on an ideal kitchen for them.

What I learned was you want the most up-to-date books as the field is continually evolving with new materials and equipment. This book by Sunset
is one of the best books I found for the home-owner. The styles were fresh and diverse, it had helpful information and I loved the layout. I didn't try the software included, so can't comment on that, but the price was worth it for the book alone. If you are only going to buy a few books on kitchen design, this should be one of the few.

I'm planning on designing a course on bathroom design next and Sunset's bathroom book looks equally well-done.

5All in one package  Feb 10, 2009 By K. Campomanes "klcampo"
I've been researching kitchen ideas for months and making tear sheets. This book has so many great designs and provides some insight on what the client wanted and how the designer solved the problem. If you are looking for a technical manual, this is not it, but if you are starting out and looking for inspiration, this book is for you. I haven't tried to use the software yet, but have installed it. I wish it came with a manual or instructions.

5Great mix of styles represented  Aug 14, 2009 By MI Book Shopper
This book has beautiful photography and a great mix of contemporary to more traditional, to an eclectic mix of both styles. The book is broken into sections such as flooring, counters, cabinetry, etc., which was very helpful. I also loved the interviews with designers who described their clients wishes and how they helped them plan things out. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone planning a kitchen remodel or new build. I will also be purchasing the companion bathroom book in the future.

4alittle too expensive and very low tech... for beginners  Feb 09, 2009 By Lisa Satko
I already knew most of the info in this book, but for beginners it would be a great reference... how to hang cabinets and such. I was looking more for design ideas... the software is impossible to use!

1Software useless  Jul 15, 2009 By Skeptical Shopper
I bought this book because of the included CD. There are no instructions as to how the software works. I've spent enough time trying to figure it out. Not worth it.
