our Dust.
There was a nice little review of our work, which increased our

Resources #5 - PDX Street of Dreams
Online resources and books can help out immensely with design
ideas, but nothing compares to actually touring a few kitchens for
the hands-on experience. The PDX Street of Dreams has been a great
place for my DW and I to do just that.
The homes are very high end (and often over the top), but you can
get a real sense of how various designs, materials and gadgets
would work. One of our guidelines was to have a few high-end

them. For instance, our back splash design came ...
Resources for Our Kitchen Remodel
I have purposely stayed away from a writing about other remodeling
blogs. I really don't like blogs that either have minimal content
or focus on repeating what others are writing about. These low

The National Kitchen and Bath Association web site has a number of
good resources to help you plan your kitchen remodel.
They will send you a free workbook that has very good information
on design guidelines. A summary of these, and additional
information can be found at kitchens.com.
Resource #4 - Black & Decker Books
The best reference books I have found for remodeling are published

They are very comprehensive and contain a large number of
step-by-stop photos. The plumbing and wiring books were
particularly helpful. I found most of the ones I needed at the
library, but ended up buying them to keep as reference guides.
Resources #6 - The Lite House
At the beginning of our kitchen remodel, lighting was a bit of a
mystery. How many lights? What spacing? What kind? I knew generally
what was required from our last house, but I wanted something a
little more concrete to make decisions. Unfortunately, many of the
"resources" on the internet are add sites, or very general.
TheLiteHouse site was a nice find...
It actually provides some ideas and technical discussion to help
you make lighting decisions.
