Lots of good ideas for built-ins around the house. While it assumes you want to do the work yourself, I found it useful for coming up with ideas where I plan to hire others. The specs give me a sense of the difficulty of the job and the measurements to plan around.

A great book of ideas for built-ins through out your house! Organized by specific rooms and subjects like home-entertainment, book shelves, home offices etc., this book is chock full of great ideas using stock cabinetry as well as specifically designed pieces. The last third of the book gives lots of how do instructions for homeowner and amateur woodworker.
