Fantasizing about the perfect kitchen? Susan Breen, one of America's leading kitchen consultants and writers, shows how to make that dream come true.

With brilliant photos, detailed floor plans, professional tips, and illuminating case studies, design expert Susan Breen reveals the art of creating the perfect kitchen. She covers it all, examining every style from contemporary to country traditional, and getting right down to the nitty-gritty facts on working with kitchen designers, architects, and contractors.
