Great Book

This is a great book with gorgeous photos. As a budding designer I found these designs sophisticated and a greate source of inspiration. Therefore, I would have to disagree with the other reviewer. Personally, I dont care for Chris Madden designs. I guess it is all about personal taste. Overall, this book is worht taking a look at.

This book called to me

After looking at design book after design book after design book, kitchens, baths, living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, sitting rooms and on and on, (You get the idea) I hit the jackpot with this book. This book is not merely about kitchens. Nearly every kitchen, including the details, represented the aesthetic that I am seeking for my kitchen remodeling project. I kept turning the pages, somewhat in disbelief that I loved them all, especially the larger architecture encompassing the kitchens and sometimes the beautiful views. I couldn't understand why this design book finally hit on what I was looking for. Then I read the back cover about Mr. Mee, being from Phoenix. That was my ah ha moment - these pictures were taken from the beautiful homes of Scottsdale and Phoenix, Arizona. Communities in which the natural beauty of the Sonoran desert and architectural beauty honoring the spirit of the old Southwest converge to create a place on this earth that has captured my imagination and continuously calls to my soul. Right now I'm working on a kitchen in a 200 year old historic colonial home in Virginia where I plan to incorporate the details from Mr. Mee's book. And then sometime in the future I hope to do the same thing all over again in a new home in the breathtaking Arizona desert.
