| Peters, Rick: Popular Mechanics Money Smart Makeovers: Bathrooms
Book Number: 42085
Hearst 2004 4to hardcover 192pp index, colour illus. Fine. / fine d/w. In the great tradition of Popular Mechanics, here are ideas for makeovers you can actually use, afford, and do yourself. Unlike some books on remodeling the bathroom, this real-world guide steers clear of wildly expensive options that demand a costly contractor to implement. Instead, eye-catching, sensible suggestions explain how to get rid of the dingy old vanity, redo that terrible lighting, and lose the stained, worn linoleum. Get down to the nitty-gritty with instructions for replacing cabinets, laying down sheet flooring, re-laminating or tiling countertops and backsplashes, and putting in a new sink or faucet. Follow one of the three marvelous bathroom transformations, or creatively mix elements from them all. From choosing color schemes to buying materials, selecting tools to budgeting time, every valuable page shows how to upgrade a bathroom.nn• National Publicity

Lark Books 2007 4to softcover 176pp index, colour illus. very good+. Product Description: Retro, contemporary, Mama's, professional chef's: whatever your dream kitchen, the host of DIY Network's Kitchen Renovations helps it become reality! Paul Ryan offers beautifully doable, affordable ideas for improving this all-important room's look, style, and function. Even more amazing, three of the projects-entirely new for the book-can be completed in only 48-hours! That means a new kitchen in a single weekend. There's one inspired by the owners' honeymoon in Tuscany; another that's got a hip, metro look, with cutting edge appliances; and a third that gleams with Southwestern flair. Others, equally attractive and practical, take a little bit longer, including an expansion that transforms a walled-off, cramped space into a luxurious, open eye-pleaser! All ten renovations are shown in before, during, and after photography.

| Allon, Fiona: Renovation Nation: Our Obsession With Home
Book Number: 43060
UNSW Press August 30, 2008 8vo softcover 256pp very good. Renovation Nation asks why Australians have become so wrapped up in their homes. It explores the ways they are distorting their lives in the pursuit of prestige and tax-free capital gains as they play the real estate game with mindless passion. Fixated on interest rates and surrounded by headlines about housing affordability, they remain determined to make their homes bigger and better. The great Australian dream of owning a home seems to have become the great Australian nightmare.
