Jennifer Aydin is making some big changes to her home. The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member recently revealed that she and her family have been living in the basement while their kitchen undergoes a major remodel.  

On December 10, the mom of five took to her Instagram Stories to share her renovation plans.
“We’ve been living in the basement. I’m redoing my kitchen,” she explained in the video as she panned the camera around the massive space.

Jennifer previously shared a closer look at her sprawling,
8,000-square-foot basement back in April. The area is certainly one of the highlights of her enormous Paramus manse. In addition to featuring a small kitchenette, the basement also boasts plenty of amenities to keep the family entertained, including a movie theater, a spa, a sauna, and even an indoor basketball court.

As for the kitchen renovation, Jennifer didn’t share any specific details of her plans, although she did promise to make a big reveal once the work is completed.  “
I’m not going to show you guys until it’s done,” she said.
