Back to School – A Family-Friendly Kitchen for a Smooth Transition

Every parent knows that back-to-school also means back to lunches, after school activities, and a slightly more hectic pace. At Booher Remodeling Company, we know that having a well-organized, family-friendly kitchen can actually take some of the stress out of the school year for parents and children alike. Whether your kitchen just needs a little re-organizing or a complete kitchen remodel, the following tips are sure to help families on the go. In our experience, a family-friendly kitchen should include as many of these elements as possible:
  • A breakfast nook or island with seating for a quick and nutritious breakfast. This also often becomes a spot where kids like to hang out and chat.
  • Lots of counter space for kids to help make their lunches and snacks. If you’re going to be changing the countertops in the not too distant future, choose non-porous materials that are stain and scratch resistant to ensure they can stand up to your family.
  • A pantry with healthy snacks that kids can help themselves to after school.
  • A tidy kitchen island or table for kids to spread out to do their homework. (You may also want to set up a separate study space outside of the kitchen for older kids. A finished basement is a perfect spot for a homework room.)
  • A large eating area or dining room where the whole family can congregate for meals and share the highs and lows of their day.
As a family-owned and -operated business, we at Booher understand what’s important to families and always strive to provide our customers with personalized service and premium workmanship. With satisfied customers throughout Indiana, including Indianapolis, Carmel, Zionsville, Fishers, Brownsburg, Avon, and points beyond, we are the home-improvement contractor to trust when you are ready for quality home remodeling.
