Now the author of "The Art of Kitchen Design" tells you how to make your entire home "work hard" for you so that you can take it easy. Whether you are considering changes in your present home or planning your dream home, you'll love the hundreds of new solutions presented here on every page. The emphasis is on the two hardest-working places in your home: the kitchen and bath. You'll find a helpful analysis of the many activities that occur in these rooms, and how their functions are changing. Your kitchen, for example, may serve as an end-of-the-day place to microwave a quick and easy meal, trot also as a site for weekend social events that feature cooking indoors and out. Your bathroom may in turn be a site for relaxation, for dressing, or for romance. The living room may be a place to watch a movie, play dance music, or send you on a journey into cyberspace. As you think about what changes to make in your house, what the problem areas are, what solutions you'd like to find, here's the perfect idea book to show the options and possibilities. Remember, a house is not a showcase for an architect's ego, or an interior designer's expensive proof that you are up on the latest fads, but a home that works, and works hard, for you.
