About this book
Target group for this book are readers of any level of professionalism who plan or prepare a kitchen installation or kitchen remodel, no matter of scale or scope.

The sheer amount of information that I had gathered throughout this process was so large that it would have been a pity not to write it down in order to make it accessible for others.

About the author
I'd like to point out that I am not an architect or kitchen designer, only a somehow resourceful and keenly interested amateur who went through the process of a kitchen remodel twice in only a few years. The first time, I relied on the work of a professional kitchen designer. The result was that I liked the outcome, but over time I figured that I could have done much, much better if I had been more involved in the creative process. Luckily, I got a second chance when we moved into a new home and decided to have a kitchen remodel once more.

As I am not a native speaker of English, my writing is probably satiated with spelling errors and awkward phrasing. Everyone is welcome to help me out there.
