RENOVATIONS - UNPREPARED OR PREPARED

To successfully keep organized during a renovation,

it is best to prepare before the renovation begins.

Please, don’t just start filling boxes and piling in a storage box, locker or basement.

Decide before you start where/how you are storing your items. Try to keep as much in the same area.
Declutter; Sell or donate and items you do not want coming back into your space.
Box items together you know you will not need during the renovation. i.e. decor items.
Box and clearly label items that you may need to access during the renovation. When you place these boxes into your designated storage area, place them according to how likely or when you will need them.
When you are renovating a kitchen or bathroom and you may need to set up a temporary kitchen or bathroom somewhere in the house. Be a minimalist when you do this. Accept that you don’t need everything you currently have in these areas and only keep out the essentials.
Plan to go over the expected end date. Plan for seasons change or other life transitions could happen during the renovation. Pack a separate box for the just in case items. For example, when renovating a bedroom or closets and the weather could change, make sure you have access to some weather appropriate clothing.
Living in a renovation is disruptive, but it does not have to be overwhelming. Plan ahead, purge, and LABEL and you will have less stress and upheaval.
