Kitchens are a central feature in any home and this new book showcases everything that is new in well-designed kitchens. Featuring the latest finishes and materials, Kitchens demonstrates how pivotal the kitchen has become. Many of the kitchens included in this book are sleek and minimal. Others are slightly eclectic, with both new and recycled materials cleverly interwoven. Many of the homes that are featured have two kitchens, one that can be used for preparation, the other used as `front of house`.
