Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
A picture book this is not. Jan Weimer has created a rigorous tool and reference for anyone embarking upon a kitchen remodel--a tool to provoke inspiration, provide information, and produce invention. She tells the reader, "I believe hassles are avoidable if you do your homework, stay on top of the job and sever relationships as soon as you see they're not working." In the spirit of her very own words, Weimer then proceeds to convey the knowledge and foresight necessary to carry out such successful remodeling prerequisites, including everything from finding a designer to comparing cabinets, from lighting issues to dishwashers, and from icemakers to a sample contractor's contract. Again, it is not a glossy collection of other success stories, but rather a vehicle for creating your own.
From Booklist
Many cheers to former Bon Appetit editor Weimer, who not only musters courage to relate a few personal unsavory kitchen remodeling experiences but also assumes a consumer advocate role. This is the only guide readers need to follow through the maze of renovation. The two sections--one on construction and background surfaces, the other on specific appliances--mince absolutely no words; the writing is stellar and, despite the seriousness of the subject, engagingly humorous and playful. For example, one chapter begins with the sentence "I feel the same way about lighting as I do about chocolate; you can't have too much of it." Lists upon lists, practical advice, and hard-hitting hints make this a true template for any kitchen, large or small, expensive or inexpensive. Barbara Jacobs

As a kitchen design/build company, I found this book to be the most comprehensive of all the materials I have read so far, and that's a lot ! Of course there is a lot of overkill, but humans learn by repitition. Also not all the advice applies to all areas of the country, and every style or taste, but like any ala cart menu, you need to go thru and pick the stuff that applies. NOW; I have a bragging point to make relative to her thoughts about Conan the Average Contractor and me specifically. You can ask my customers if you want , but, I am the worlds first "Dustless remodeler", and I provide a temporary kitchen. Besides great and personal design and construction processes of less than 8 weeks start to finish, these 2 points hit people the hardest as the reason to call me. Dustless, and temporary kitchen, magic words. The book reinforced for me the magnitude of those 2 concepts, since most contractors are still not housebroken ! I plan to use the book as a basis for teaching my adult ed course this fall and to propose it at my next home show to prospects as a way to start thinking of their upcoming project. (and to call me of course). Thank you for all your work writing and preparing this book. It's great ! Mark Brady, Housewright

This is an amazing book. Jan Weimer has managed to cover an extremely complex subject in a way that is clear & practical. What's more important, she's managed to anticipate all the major pitfalls from design to picking and supervising vendors. I feel like I've got my own personal consultant to walk me through the process - if not painlessly then at least WITHOUT MURDER, SUICIDE, OR DIVORCE!! Bravo

This book has given me the courage and confidence to do a remodel of my kitchen, which I have been delaying for several years. Jan Weimer's book is extremely useful and beautifully written. It is very practical, but it also covers the aesthetics of a kitchen remodel. I haven't seen anything like it before, and I really appreciate it
