How do you live through a kitchen renovation?

The kitchen is often referred to as the ‘heart’ of the home. So you have probably wondered how can life go on normally while your home goes under “open heart surgery” during a kitchen renovation.

Planning is key to maintaining a somewhat normal day to day life of preparing, eating, and cleaning up after meals during the renovation process. The best solution is to set up a simple temporary kitchen area somewhere in else in the home. this kitchen area should consist of basic appliances like a microwave, fridge, toaster oven, and a table or countertop to act as a prep or work  area.

Often some of the cabinets or even sink that have been removed from your old kitchen during the renovation can be utilized to provide extra storage and functionality to your interim kitchen area.

You will also have to take into consideration the other activities you use your kitchen for. If you have children in school you will likely need a temporary place in the home for homework to be done without distraction. Be sure to set up a work area to use during the kitchen remodel.
