If you have a kitchen that the "Galloping Gourmet" kicked up his heels a bit too much in, making it perfect for the television program "Hell's Kitchen," the library can help you.
Our collection includes books of kitchen designs that would even get you a compliment from hard-nosed, Chef Gordon Ramsay, but more importantly, choosing possible designs before talking to your contractor will make the process of remodeling a lot easier.
Your contractor will be able to look at your designs and tell you what is possible and what is not. So, come to the library and let us help you find your dream kitchen. The following books are just a sample of what's available at your library.

A stunning image accompanies every tip: see how a small kitchen becomes cozy when it's filled with warm tones and natural materials; how a checkerboard backsplash brings black cabinets and white walls together; and how a modern refrigerator can work in a retro room -- if it's hidden by a rustic door.
Mix surface styles, add an archway to create a separate eating area, and turn an antique cabinet into an attractive place to store and display dishware. There's an innovative idea on every page...and a design solution for every kitchen.
