Book offers ideas for kitchen upgrades

Remodeling your kitchen gives you a chance to make the heart of your home both functional and beautiful.

Chris Peterson's "Kitchen Ideas You Can Use" offers ideas and inspiration to help you do just that.

The book is filled with photos of kitchens in a range of styles, along with both decorative and utilitarian ideas. You'll learn about the many choices in elements such as cabinets, countertop materials, flooring and lighting, and you'll be introduced to storage options, handy extras and other features you probably didn't know existed. One section is devoted to bringing color into the kitchen.

Peterson aims the book at homeowners who are considering major renovations, but you can also take away ideas for making smaller, less expensive updates to a current kitchen.

Details: Kitchen Ideas You Can Use" is published by Cool Springs Press and sells for $17.99 in softcover.
