[Alger Smythe-Hopkins · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not as useful or inspirational as I hoped. The kitchens that are described as "small" are larger than my house, and the kitchen solutions replicate standard kitchen renovations of the kind Home Depot offers. But the advice is good, and really there is only so much a general interest book can offer. I just wish they had offered more problem solving rather than redescriptions of the efficient work triangle and pictures of potted flowers.
