Built-Ins: Designs to Inspire, Projects to Build (Sunset Design Guides)

This new idea-rich book from Sunset is packed with inspiring designs and easy-to-build projects, from shelves to cabinets to window seats. Author Jeanne Huber takes you through each room of the house to show the benefits of built-ins (they save space, harmonize with a room's design, and increase the value of a home)—as well as how to build them, step-by-step. Included is a chapter to help homeowners brainstorm new ideas.

• How-to instruction geared to people of all skill levels includes tool use and safety, trim building, and basic and advanced woodworking techniques.

• Hardware help at your fingertips—tells everything that's needed for built-in projects, from shelf brackets to drawer glides.

• Over 600 photos offer a visual tour of built-in ideas throughout the house.

• Reverse-engineered illustrations show what lies beneath a built-in;s surface so you get the full picture.
