　　More than just a place to cook, the kitchen has become the

heart and hub of the home. It’s where we entertain friends, spend

time with family, and indulge in a moment alone. The modern kitchen

has to be equipped for working, studying, socializing, and hanging

out; it should be functional without sacrificing an ounce of style

or comfort. Now, homeowners are putting more of themselves into the

kitchens they renovate or build, working to create spaces that

reflect their personalities and complement the way they live. In

Lyn Peterson’s Real Life Kitchens, the acclaimed designer and

decorator tells you everything you need to know to transform your

kitchen.

This practical book is packed with cutting-edge ideas and

information, from the latest options for appliances, countertops,

and cabinetry to advances in seating, lighting, flooring, and

kitchen configurations. Lyn Peterson’s Real Life Kitchens takes you

step-by-step through the decisions you’ll need to make on all of

the most important functional and stylish elements.

The Big Picture: Deciding when and why to update, knowing how to

optimize your space, nailing down a budget, and learning from the

shortcomings of your previous kitchen

The Layout: Thinking outside the traditional kitchen triangle,

matching an island to traffic flow, and putting your plan to

paper

The Appliances: From cooktops to warming drawers, dishwashers to

refrigerators, the latest advances and options in all of the

working elements

The Cabinetry: Choosing between ready-made, semi-custom, and

custom; judging quality construction; saving money on this most

expensive element of your renovation

The Surfaces: Floors, countertops, and backsplashes, from painted

to pine, tile to granite to limestone—the choices seem endless, but

here’s how to match your budget to the style you want

The Lighting: The looks, the lingo, and the low down on task,

natural, ambient, accent, and mood lighting

The Auxiliary Spaces: Pantry and storage options, wine cabinets

and cellars, mudrooms, and a “desklet” for kitchen office

activities like checking e-mail and scheduling

A Survival Guide: Must-have information for working with

contractors, designers, and architects, as well as creating a

substitute kitchen while yours is under construction

The Resources: A host of all-important sources to help you start

your search

Sprinkled with enlightening recollections from families who are

veterans of both high-end and budget-conscious renovations, and

packed with no-fuss advice for getting the most out of your space

and your budget, Lyn Peterson’s Real Life Kitchens is the key to

achieving your dream kitchen.
