Transforming Your Kitchen with Stock Cabinetry: Design, Select, and Install for a Custom Look at the Right Price

Have you been dreaming about a new kitchen, but the expense and amount of work keep putting that dream on the backburner? A kitchen remodeling project can be daunting and expensive, even for an experienced woodworker. Thanks to cabinet and furniture maker Jonathan Benson, you can transform your kitchen for less by using stock cabinetry and a well-thought-out plan. From having a solid design that meets the needs of everyone using the space, to advice and lessons on what to know before going cabinet shopping, or how to live in a construction zone, Benson and his wife Sherry, a former chef and restaurant owner, show you how a little team work can make a kitchen remodel go more smoothly. Transforming Your Kitchen with Stock Cabinetry will put you right in the heart of a remodeling project, which happens to be the Benson’s own kitchen, and guide you through the complete process. The inspirational gallery at the end of the book is filled with beautiful photos and gives true meaning to the term ＂dream kitchen.＂
