Before You Demo: The Kitchen Renovation Workbook
Planning a kitchen renovation? Start here, before you demo.
A kitchen renovation involves hundreds of decisions, and keeping track of them can quickly become a project of its own.
Created by award-winning interior designer Sarah Barrett, Before You Demo draws on real-world kitchen design and renovation experience across projects throughout the United States, including high-end residential homes.
Before You Demo: The Kitchen Renovation Workbook is a streamlined, hands-on planning tool designed to help homeowners organize the decisions, details, selections, and changes that happen throughout a kitchen renovation.
Rather than overwhelming you with pages of renovation theory, this workbook gives you just enough guidance to understand what matters, then gives you a place to work through it.
Inside, you'll plan and document:
Your renovation priorities and budget
Your project team and responsibilities
Kitchen layout, storage, and cabinetry
Appliances, plumbing, lighting, and finishes
Product selections and specifications
Pre-construction preparation
Decisions, changes, delays, and project issues
Punch-list items, warranties, and final closeout
You'll find practical worksheets, trackers, checklists, and concise guidance to help keep important information together from the earliest planning stages through the finished kitchen.
Use this workbook on its own for a focused, practical approach, or pair it with Before You Demo: The Complete Kitchen Renovation Planning Guide & Workbook for more in-depth education behind each stage of the process.
You can't predict every surprise hiding behind a wall.
But you can walk into your renovation organized, informed, and prepared.
Plan first. Demo second.
