Retro, 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.
