Our RV kitchen was in need of a serious renovation. We needed to take our kitchen from drab to fab without breaking the bank. A lot of elbow grease and product research went into this renovation and it was well worth the effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basic steps for making over our RV Kitchen were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Demo \u2013 remove everything out of your space before starting<\/strong><\/li>
  2. Paint \u2013 prep, prime then paint<\/strong><\/li>
  3. Ceiling \u2013 install your chosen ceiling update<\/strong><\/li>
  4. Flooring \u2013 install your chosen flooring<\/strong><\/li>
  5. Light Fixtures \u2013 repair or replace your light fixtures<\/strong><\/li>
  6. Counters \u2013 install new or refurbished counters<\/strong><\/li>
  7. Backsplash \u2013 install your chosen backsplash<\/strong><\/li>
  8. Hardware \u2013 paint or replace hardware and reinstall doors<\/strong><\/li>
  9. Appliances \u2013 repair\/replace\/reinstall appliances<\/strong><\/li>
  10. Table Upgrade \u2013 install a replacement table<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The kitchen in our RV accounts for a third of the living space, although, that doesn\u2019t make it large by any means. Not surprisingly, it is mostly consumed with cabinets and storage bookended by the fridge and the stove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The main pinch point to our space was the sink being located in the center of the countertop. Here it consumed too much of the limited real estate and was way too shallow to wash anything in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Another disastrous design flaw was the table layout, it not only encompassed the majority of the floor space in the condensed area but it also disturbed the flow of traffic through the center of our home and made it nearly impossible for two people to work together in the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Aside from these two main issues, the bones of the kitchen area were in good working order and the appliances were fully functional. Our biggest savings, both financially and environmentally, were found in salvaging and upcycling the existing pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So our plan was to clean, paint and be creative in replacing the necessary evils in a budget-friendly fashion<\/span>. Read on for our step-by-step guide to our kitchen reno and how much it all cost us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
