R etro, contemporary, Mama’s, professional chef’s: whatever your dream kitchen, the host of DIY Network’s Kitchen Renovations helps it become reality! Paul Ryan offers beautifully doable, affordable ideas for improving this all-important room’s look, style, and function. Even more amazing, three of the projects—entirely new for the book—can be completed in only 48-hours! That means a new kitchen in a single weekend. There’s one inspired by the owners’ honeymoon in Tuscany; another that’s got a hip, metro look, with cutting edge appliances; and a third that gleams with Southwestern flair. Others, equally attractive and practical, take a little bit longer, including an expansion that transforms a walled-off, cramped space into a luxurious, open eye-pleaser! All ten renovations are shown in before, during, and after photography.
