Today's kitchen is not merely a place to cook, chat and chow down, it also has become the prin- cipal gathering area for everything from family discussions to cocktail parties. And the bath has become the last truly private refuge, a hideaway where a person can float, dream and unwind. While the function of these rooms has been modified over time, the design of many has not. Therefore, kitchen and bath remodeling are two increasingly common home improvement pro- jects — and two that provide the best return on investment dollars when it comes time to sell the home.

Some even have exer- cise areas, reading nooks and fireplaces. Whirlpools are becoming a mainstay of even middle-class master baths, providing psycho- logical and physical therapy after a hard day's work. They come in various shapes, sizes and col- ors, and can be recessed into the floor or built on platforms with decorative tile or furniture- quality aprons. Side by side or replacing whirlpool tubs in an increasing number of baths are so-called power showers. For the busiest people, shower time is the (continued on page 42)
