Description

A chic, polished guide to creating your dream kitchen from the cofounder of Waterworks, with hundreds of images and practical advice. The kitchen is the heart of the home, the destination of every party, everyone's favorite gathering spot, where style and functionality must go hand in hand. Designing a kitchen is a vastly complicated affair, involving an array of appliances (movable and fixed) and storage zones, not to mention addressing the kitchen's role as a multifunctional social arena to be used from very early in the morning until late into the night. Creating a timeless, high-functioning space is daunting indeed. Where is one to begin? In The Perfect Kitchen, Waterworks cofounder Barbara Sallick explores the process of designing a kitchen in great and beautiful detail, from surfaces and finishes to storage, cabinetry, and hardware. The book is enriched by dozens of images of kitchens by esteemed designers such as Steven Gambrel, Gil Schafer, and Suzanne Kasler; essays by top food icons including Julia Turshen and Melissa Clark about their own kitchens; and important, how-to advice. Combining evocative, informative photography with an authoritative, engaging narrative, The Perfect Kitchen is an essential, lasting resource that will appeal to discerning homeowners and professionals alike looking for upscale visual inspiration and design advice.

  • Not just your average Pinterest rehash...
The media could not be loaded. I'm a Kitchen and Bath Designer and I'm always looking for beautiful design examples for my clients. I do not want content readily available on Pinterest. Why spend $50 for something you can get for free, right? This book is not only gorgeous, but full of new and attainable designs. There is color, there are variations in kitchen size. Some are open concept, some are not. WELL DONE!!! My only gripe is that the author did not do her homework regarding the history of the kitchen. Flow and function were actually a concern of the middle-late 1800s, although it was slow to progress because of economical or domestic help reasons. That being said, the book deserves 5 stars purely for its originality and variety. (Don't worry - this book is NOT dominated by white subway tile, although, being a classic element, it is featured throughout.) I would classify the content as classy, elegant, and fresh transitional with a bit of modern and industrial added for flavor. A book for everyone. ... show more

  • Beautiful book
But realized it is cheaper to just look online to figure out what you like

  • great DESIGN book
I bought a slew of kitchen idea/design books and love this one the most. I like the photos, yes, but also the narrative. I particularly like the insets where famous chefs and food writers talk about their own "perfect" kitchens and what they love most about or want most from the room. Great for helping me understand what I like and what I do not. ... show more
