ILYCE: HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS ALWAYS COST MORE AND TAKE LONGER THAN YOU PLAN. THE MOST COSTLY CHANGES ARE THE ONES YOU MAKE WHILE CONSTRUCTION IS ONGOING. TODAY'S SELECTION OF NEW BOOKS SHOULD GIVE YOU TERRIFIC IDEAS YOU CAN PLAN FOR -- AND BUDGET FOR -- AHEAD OF TIME.
THE KITCHEN IDEA BOOK BY JOANNE KELLAR BOUKNIGHT. IN THIS FIRST PHOTO YOU
CAN SEE THE DESIGNER THOUGHT ABOUT COLOR, LIGHTING, FIXTURES, AND APPLIANCE
LAYOUT. IN THIS NEXT PHOTO TAKE A LOOK AT HOW THE ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS WORK TO
MAKE THIS SPACE SEEM BIGGER. FINALLY, HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT ADDING ON AN
OUTDOOR SPACE? THIS BUILT-IN FIREPLACE MAKES THE WHOLE KITCHEN FEEL BIGGER.
IN THE BATHROOM IDEA BOOK BY ANDREW WORMER, THERE ARE WONDERFUL IDEAS YOU
MAY NOT HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT COULD TICKLE YOUR SENSES WITHOUT PUMPING UP YOUR
BILL. A THREE-QUARTER INCH THICK LAMINATED GLASS COUNTERTOP SUPPORTS A
PAIR OF GLASS SINKS. IT MAKES THE BATHROOM SEEM HUGE.NOW, THIS BATH MIGHT HAVE
JUST A BIT TOO MUCH VIEW FOR YOU, BUT A CUSTOM-FABRICATED SLIDING GLASS DOOR
ALLOWS OUTDOOR SUNBATHERS TO COME IN FOR A QUICK SHOWER. THE CLEAN LINES OF THIS
BATHROOM REALLY SHOW OFF THE GLASS AND MARBLE FINISHES.
IN THE KIDSPACE IDEA BOOK BY WENDY JORDAN, YOU'LL FIND ALL KINDS OF GREAT
IDEAS FOR LIVENING UP YOUR CHILDREN'S SPACE. CONSIDER USING A WILD THEME FOR
YOUR LITTLE MONKEY. THERE ARE ALSO NICE STORAGE IDEAS, LIKE THIS COZY COMMON
AREA WITH BUILT-IN BEDS FOR SLEEP-OVERS AND LOOK AT THESE THREE PLAYHOUSES.
AREN'T THESE FANTASTIC?
TO CUT COSTS, CONSIDER A PRE-FAB KIT YOU PUT TOGETHER YOURSELF.
IT'S EASY TO GET SEDUCED BY BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS. JUST DON'T FORGET THAT ALL OF THIS STUFF COSTS MONEY. SO DECIDE WHICH IDEAS ARE MOST IMPORTANT AND THEN BUDGET FOR THOSE. I'LL PUT UP ALL OF THESE BOOKS ON MY WEBSITE,AT WWW.THINKGLINK.COM, AND NEXT WEEK, WE'LL GO THROUGH HOW TO PLAN THE BUDGET FOR YOUR HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AND HOW YOU CAN SAVE MONEY EVERYWHERE.
