A picture book this is not. Jan Weimer has created a rigorous tool and reference for anyone embarking upon a kitchen remodel--a tool to provoke inspiration, provide information, and produce invention. She tells the reader, "I believe hassles are avoidable if you do your homework, stay on top of the job and sever relationships as soon as you see they're not working." In the spirit of her very own words, Weimer then proceeds to convey the knowledge and foresight necessary to carry out such successful remodeling prerequisites, including everything from finding a designer to comparing cabinets, from lighting issues to dishwashers, and from icemakers to a sample contractor's contract. Again, it is not a glossy collection of other success stories, but rather a vehicle for creating your own.
Book Description
Whether you're planning a full-scale remodel or simply upgrading and replacing cabinets or appliances, making decisions on how to renovate your kitchen can become a nightmare. And, once you begin, the problems seem to multiply daily: The workmen show up three months late, the doors on the cabinets hang at an unintentional tilt, and though you love that stone countertop, you find yourself working in the shadows because no one really thought about proper lighting. Help is on the way.
Kitchen Redos will enable you to design kitchen layouts that let you move with ease, islands that do double duty as work and eating centers, cabinetry that looks beautiful and provides maximum, innovative storage, surfaces that shine with easy care and last a lifetime, and much, much more. Practical, inspiring, and hardworking, Kitchen Redos anticipates and instructs you on all the real-life issues that arise when designing and developing your dream kitchen.

It's just average.......2006-07-08
If you're looking for the "best ever" kitchen book, look on. This one is just average. It's outdated and, unless you're a complete beginner in the remodeling game, won't tell you much you haven't already learned or thought of on your own. (Just for example: the author is clueless about butcher-block countertops, saying that they must be scrubbed with a wire brush every week. ??? I've had butcher block countertops, and neither I nor anyone I've ever known has been silly enough to use them as unfinished cutting boards. And do we really need to be told that countertops should be level and cleanable? Oh, darn, I was thinking about a wavy sod surface--I guess that's out.) "This Old House Kitchens," although far from new, is far more helpful. I was disappointed after the rave reviews here. I probably paid around $15 incl. shipping and it wasn't worth that much.
Kitchen Redos, Revamps, Remodels, and Replacements.......2005-01-13
I've never written any book review before, but feel compelled to let others know how great this book is. I've looked through over thirty (30) books on kitchen projects-at libraries/in bookstores/from an architect- and found none I wished to own but this one. It's almost too thorough, as many of us just wish to read conclusions and then go on to the next project. This book covers ALL aspects of a kitchen project, including detailed reference/contact material at the end of the book. So don't waste your time reading anything else-- it's the only book on the topic I've actually purchased and I don't regret it for a minute.
Buy FIRST before any other kitchen books & specialty issues!.......2003-04-01
I recently completed a major addition to get the professional kitchen of my dreams. For almost a year prior to demolition, I studied just about every other "kitchen book" known to mankind, and saved hundreds of idea-pages from magazines, etc. Then I found Jan Weimer's book, and I so wish I had know about it so much earlier. This book is a must-read for anyone embarking on any type of kitchen renovations. Jan's writing is witty, relating the saga of all the foibles and pitfalls she encountered during her own renovations. But, more importantly, she provides a wealth of information on just about any possible aspect of kitchen overhauls, and far more informative than all the other publications I purchased combined. In retrospect, I would have saved lots of time and money if I had read this book first before starting this project.

A must-have for anyone even contemplating kitchen work.......2002-05-26
Not a cookbook, but a really valuable guide for anyone who wants to build or remodel, Jan Weimer's "Kitchen Redos, Revamps, Remodels & Replacements" is a superior sourcebook. Not for nothing is this volume subtitled "Without Murder, Suicide, or Divorce." The problems inherent in letting strangers run rampant through your domain, charging fees left and right, have been known to harden even the most optimistic of homeowners.
Weimer does an admirable job of making the reader examine thoroughly his or her kitchen needs--and then divide them into "needs" and "wants." She can take a glimmer of an idea and give you the hard facts on how it would work on a day-to-day basis. She covers such neglected topics as contractual obligations of the contractors, kitchen lighting, countertop choices, and depth of storage cabinetry.
There is such an abundance of information herein that it would takeý-well, it would take a book to tell you all about it. And here is that book, highly recommended by yours truly, who has been through the kitchen design/house-building experience.

Welcome to a southern mystery night!.......2006-07-18
This second in the Death on Demand series is a good, solid mystery. We still get that wonderful name-dropping from the world of "mystery fiction", and we get Annie planning a murder-mystery surprise for a small Southern town's annual spring celebrations. And no one is more surprised than Annie and Max when a real mystery occurs in the little town of Chastain. As they delve into motives and opporturnites they find more secrets in this little town than they ever dreamed. It was fun reading about their efforts to solve the mystery of the death of one of Chastain's leading citizens, while Annie's scripted plot ran through the book.I think I'm going to enjoy this series.
Mystery Game-board, Black Checkers `n Chin (No Gin). Reader/Author Double Win........2005-11-25
This 2nd in the DEATH ON DEMAND series has an intriguing set of intro chapters which compete with the brilliance of the pilot's opening salvos.
After the classic-mystery jazz-steps of the intro chapter pair sat me down in my chair, I, of course, couldn't resist reading further. As I did so, I couldn't help but notice that the contrast of the society maven's chill to Annie's enthusiasm was dramatic and effective.
Transition-ed from that point of awe, I was warmed into the story by Annie's reaction to being asked to do a mystery program and get paid $1000. As noted above, Annie's "badee, badee, badee" enthusiasm was an engaging contrast to the perfect portrayal of the repulsive chill of the society maven. What with the up angle in which Carinne carried her rigid, frigid chin, she'd never develop horizontal neck wrinkles, though vertical, hair-line-fissures would likely apply in rivulets. And, I'd bet money I have not, that one of her eyebrows was spring loaded.
A couple questions came to me early in the reading:
-- Was Annie going to use the Maven as victim and Roscoe as murderer, as a reality switch to the victim and perpetrator in the murder mystery game Annie was being paid to produce?
-- How would the contention between Annie & Max over having a fancy Vs intimate wedding relate to the plots-within-plots, and their resolution?
Hart entertainingly dramatized Annie's cracking out of the egg of an endearing, feisty childhood (even as a "mature," brilliant, and independent young woman), with Max as a backdrop of the truly mature, already-arrived one in the self-actualization game. In this sense, the irony of Annie's compulsive responsibility bounced off Max's (seeming) childish nonchalance was well wrought. And, Hart's periodically designing Annie as wrong and Max as right could be taken as proof that Hart's healthy self-depreciation and personal generosity has cancelled any egotism or arrogance in her character.
I believe that those tendencies seem to magnetically attract themselves to most creative persons; maybe it's the charisma they're charged (up) with. Me too. I, I, I be creative! Gotta get these thumbs out of my vest. But, only because it's hard to type that way. "Me, me, me." (Practicing my operatic slavos. Doe & Ray are continually dogging my voice, trying to get ahead.)
The type of sexual tension toyed with between Annie & Max is refreshing. It sometimes feels delightfully (and effectively) staged (like culinary mysteries collecting quotas of cooking hits, which I, for one, appreciate, yum intended). Hart's romantic sidelines are fun, cute, warming, and absolutely appropriate for her characters and genre. I appreciate the fact that the innuendos aren't obviously spiced for reader turn on ... Hart's style of sexual undertone is Leo's childlike, playful toying with male-female differences; it's not Scorpio's intense and steamy, heavy-hitting below the belt (which has been well-placed and hotly-paced in the romance genre). In my opinion Hart's style of light, Leo romance suits this series to a "T" ... or maybe I should say, to a steam-rolled-over "R."
It was worth my time to savor Hart's artistically portrayed characterizations. An especially luminous introductory description of the society maven's niece follows:
>>The young woman was as clearly limned as if by a spotlight, her attractive auburn hair glistening like the flank of a sundrenched Kentucky colt, her delicate, anguished face a study in anger.
<<
My first flash upon reading the segment around the above quote was of Daisy in THE GREAT GATSBY, though of course Daisy is lifetimes jaded while Gail is a fresh pick (which is not meant to diminish either character, it's merely to attempt to get the contrast clear while the comparison is made).
Another great character description:
>> Corinne looked every day of her fifty-nine years, her cheekbone drawn so tight that hairline wrinkles marched on her upper lip like a stockade fence.
<
<
So was it the facelift or the upward chin habit which did Corinne(`s youthful plushness, if she ever had any) in?
In this second in the DOD series, I was captivated and literarily impressed by its use of various levels of mysteries as an echoing mirror-within-mirror, reality-within-reality. This novel could go undercover as an entertaining class on the genre, which I was certainly able to benefit from, because I'm not anywhere near as well read as most buffs of classic mysteries.
Some readers have reported feeling irritated or insecure at the mention and plot use of such an awesome collection of reality mystery titles, many of which are known only to mystery buffs of the first water. I can understand that natural sensitivity. Yet, I see that situation as an opportunity to introduce myself into the nuances of the genre, and to spotlight other series I might like to explore. I also receive a pleasant hit of recognition when one of the titles or authors happen to be one I've actually read. This constant "listing" of mysteries also allows me to know I'll be able to return to reread this series and get even more out of it as I progress in my consumption of offerings in the genre. So much to look forward to. Even with my having read so few classic mysteries, I had no trouble keeping up with the story and retaining a solid and strong interest within full entertainment regalia.
The resolution of tangents, sidetracks, mysteries within mysteries was satisfyingly, almost uncannily smooth. The mood-and-action to wrap, as expected, held several surprises and variations on mystery form schematics. The style was an opposite type of drama from the resolution of the pilot to the series, in which Annie & Max dug into a hilarious bull-dog standoff (after the murder-mood-run had its due).
Overall, to me, the style of DBD gave evidence that Hart's confidence in this series had leaped beyond growing pains, as she seemed to be taking her time developing the plot-lines without losing a Quantum of reader interest. The graceful flow exposed an author absolutely relaxed in her craft, certain of its guarantee to result in reader involvement and appreciation. This isn't to imply that Hart hadn't been a fully-seasoned author for many years prior to this novel. It's merely to note that the author's relaxation with developing characters and machinations seemed to show off a well seated rhythm and stride here.
More than most, this novel showed me why mystery afficionados reportedly reread stories in this genre. There's enough in each offering that a reread will continually surface segments which appear to have been written in invisible ink the first time around.
Well done Oh Mystery Queen, who knows how to honor the gestalt of her genre.
Linda G. Shelnutt
P.S. I probably shouldn't post 3 reviews on Thanksgiving morning. Makes it too obvious what kind of life I live. Furthermore, my holiday trilogy will probably sit on Amazon's pages in lonely, zero-vote solitude, sans coveted spotlights, until at least a week after everyone's finished burping up turkey. Okay, here's mine, offered even before I get to the oven on time. Burp. "Buzzzzz." (That's the stove alarm.)
Got me almost to the end.......2004-09-10
What a great mystery - it was almost Perry Mason-like with seeing all the suspects at the beginning of the book and why they would have a motive to kill Corinne. Also like Perry Mason you had to pay attention to what was going on. It was a good believable story. I really enjoyed it and cannot wait to start the next book in the series.
A Touch of the South.......2003-10-25
Carolyn Hart write wonderful stories set in the South. I always like the way Annie name drops about detective fiction at the start and the beginning or each story, but rarely in the middle. I always wonder if the author does this on purpose or is just the way story develops. This is a find follow-up to Death On Demand, although there are parts that are overly predictable and
sterotypic.
Annie plans a mystery night.......2002-05-26
Annie Laurance, proprietor of the book store Murder on Demand, is delighted to be asked to put on a mystery night as part of a celebration of the history of Chastain, South Carolina. She is not so pleased at the prospect when she meets Corinne Webster who is in charge of the event. Corinne is a rude and arrogant person who has made enemies of half of the town. It is not surprising, when Corinne is found dead, that there is no shortage of suspects. Unfortunately, the police chief focuses in on Annie as his main suspect and seems unwilling to look any further. As a result, Annie and her fiance, Max Darling, have extra motivation to solve this murder. Annie puts herself in danger by exposing the murderer and the ending is bittersweet.

Product Description
In early May 1997, Lee Urness, an agent of the Minnesota FBI Fugitive Task Force, checked the daily police bulletins. He saw a notice about a Minneapolis murder and a missing red Jeep Cherokee; he took the case. Urness figured that within two weeks he'd capture the auto-thieving murderer, but those two weeks exploded into a blur of 79 intense days. That missing Jeep triggered an international manhunt for Andrew Cunanan, the cold-blooded, five-time murderer. And as law enforcement everywhere pursued Cunanan, news reporters worked feverishly to dig up the latest developments. Cunanan's killing spree spawned terror in cities across America, and especially in gay communities, where men wondered if they might be his next victim. But no one knew where he had gone, as he continued to elude the manhunt. Then one violent day in South Beach, Florida, it all ended when he shot and killed international fashion designer Gianni Versace. Death by Design tells the inside story of the chase to capture Andrew Cunanan, the gay prostitute turned brutal killer. Here you will find details never before revealed, and pictures never before seen. Feel the victims' terror as the sadistic slayer worked his evil plots. Touch the frenzied faces of reporters fighting to scoop each other, feeding a world hungry for every sordid detail. See inside the world of law enforcement, thwarted at every step, while desperately working to collar a killer on the loose.

Book Description
Rick Domino is at the top of his world-which is Holly-wood-and his stock in trade is celebrity gossip. His finances, however, are the pits and can't begin to pay for his copious good taste. So when his producer suggests he be a guest on a popular cable show 'My House, Your House'-he deigns to appear as a way of getting a much needed makeover for his sagging, outdated living room. As plans go, this isn't Rick's best. And it goes terribly wrong when a consulting designer -well known for the particular remodeling horrors she's perpetrated on other guests' spaces-is found savagely mur-dered. Now, with the help of Terry Zane-a sweet but savagely unstylish police detective-Rick is on a quest to rescue his reputation, salvage his living room, and-if at all possible-find the person responsible for the tasteless act of murder.
Customer Reviews:
Not As Much Fun as BEST MURDER OF THE YEAR.......2007-02-04
The premise of this work comes form contemporary American television and the so called "home makeovers". The results of those program efforts often leave something to be desired, as does this novel. The mystery isn't that mysterious, the characters aren't all that outrageous, and the resolution is tepid.
Better Than The Real Thing.......2005-10-24
Bloch's take on the tv show "Trading Spaces" makes is clear that he should be producing the actual program on TLC. Reading this book is more fun than a "Trading Spaces" marathon. His sly characterizations of the designers are spot on target. And the room designs, though funny and over-the-top, are no more outrageous than some of the actual designs on the show.
The murder and the mystery work well for me. I had no idea whodunnit - and it was a fun time finding out. I prefer comic mysteries that make me laugh over edge-of-the-seat mysteries - which never keep me on the edge of my seat. This one made me laugh out loud at least once in each chapter - that's a good average!
Definitely give this one a try!
Bad Design.......2005-04-23
This book is a real stinker. I finally abandoned it on page 108 (of 289) because I couldn't stand it any longer. The characters, all of them, are so over the top (Aunt Fern?) as to be annoying. The best satire has a note of realism; there is nothing, absolutely nothing, realistic in this story. The author, Jon P. Bloch, evidently teaches at the world-renowned Southern Connecticut State University. It should be back to school for you, prof.
Can Anything Be Added.......2004-07-18
to the reviews already posted here?
Laugh-out-loud funny. Witty. Clever. Scathing humor. Wonderful satire of Trading Spaces (the silliest show ever) and the cast members.
Good mystery and satisfying ending.
I enjoyed it from start to finish.
Funny and charming--Terry tries to get Rick on track.......2004-06-09
Gay gossip columnist Rick Domino feels the need for a new design for his living room--but his budget is a bit short. When his boss comes up with the idea of Rick's living room being a venue for the popular do-it-yourself cable show, My House, Your House, Rick agrees--assuming he can specify the designers, his partner, and the other home to be designed. Instead, he gets a bit of a nightmare--a designer whose central idea is crochet. But at least 'Aunt Fern' doesn't believe in pulling up the hardwoods or turning a home into a prison and that's what the other designer, beautiful Helena Godiva has in mind for Rick's friend, recently out-of-the-closet police detective Terry Zane.
When Helena Godiva is found murdered and Terry's cousin, Ann-Margaret, is the chief suspect. Rick and Terry decide they need to clear Ann-Margaret's name and, with luck, get Rick some great insider gossip and Terry a conviction credit with the LAPD. Pretty clearly, the killer has something to do with the show. Even more clearly, the two men discover as they investigate, just about everyone has good reason to have killed Helena. She had slept with the women's fiances, threatened to out the gay men, exposed embarassing secrets, and generally been a hateful witch. Even Ann-Margaret has a motive despite Rick and Terry's moral certainty that she is innocent. But with such a wealth of suspects, how can they track down the actual killer?
Author Jon P. Bloch develops charming characters in the cynical Rick and the straight-arrow Terry. Rick (first person protagonist) can be critical of everyone (except himself), which can be offputting until you realize that this simply reflects his personality. Terry proves an effective foil, reminding Rick that there is more to life than empty perfection--and why not have a television in the living room anyway. Bloch's examination of the gay lifestyle in Los Angeles rings true--although the complete lack of worthwhile straight guys is a bit disconcerting.
MURDER BY DESIGN pokes fun at the nations fascination with design makeover shows and provides a charming mystery as well. Nicely done.

6th in Death on Demand series At Annie Laurance's Death on Demand bookstore on Broward's Rock Island, South Carolina, murder suddenly isn't confined to the well-stocked shelves. Author Elliot Morgan's abrupt demise during a weekly gathering of famous mystery writers called the Sunday Night Regulars is proof positive that a bloody sword is sometimes mightier than a brilliant pen. With Annie in the unenviable position of primary police suspect, the pretty young mystery maven and her wealthy paramour, Max Darling, embark on an investigation into a classic locked-room mystery with high stakes. Failing to unmask a brutal and ingenious killer could mean prison for Ms. Laurance. Success could mean her death. Who could plot a murder better than a mystery writer?
