Plus this is the first time I've seen a good description of how to put in glass block. I wish it was available when I did my first (and only) glass block project two years ago. The glass block manufacturers instructions were moronic compared to this. Even a web search produced lousy instructions.

Also, not only do they give you the idea for stenciled wall texture, but the stencils are included, just photocopy them to size and cut them out! I'm glad this book is here, what will be next for these "Reinventors"? Consistent writing and good instructions make this book (and the others in the series) a great guide for people like me who aren't very industrious. Thanks Sunset!


Doesn't measure up to Sunset standards!  Nov 18, 2006 By Kathleen A. Peck "New Review"
Reinvent Your Bathroom is not at all what I had anticipated. I expected bathrooms to be photographed before & after reflecting spectalar changes!

The let down was primarily due to the quality of some of the make-overs, photographs that often showed the finished project so close up, one could not really decipher what it actually ended up looking like.

For example, pg. 85 shows a Cornice finished so up-close that even though they show you on the following page how to build it...you never get to see the overall effect it would have in a room.

Planning & lay-out is greatly lacking, yet the quality of the photographs seems ok.

I just didn't find ANY of the projects very impressive...

The Cottage Cupboard project on pg. 61 was nice & the Tile Surround around the window on pg. 98 was a novel idea...but quite frankly the book just isn't worth buying... there just isn't enough quality & the presentation is altogether poor.

Sorry Sunset...you've done so much better than this...
