The Galley Remodel (really) Begins

Y’all, I’m so excited! This project just entered the “real” phase. While we had already removed the microwave, put up some baskets, and started to rework the pantry storage, yesterday $*!t got real as we removed the sink (it will get reused) and faucet (bye-bye!), took the fridge door off, and prepped the galley for the countertop refinishing.

At the recommendation of my interior designer sister-in-law, we chose Daich Coatings countertop refinishing kit in Onyx Fog. The product is water-based, low-VOC, and doesn’t require any artistic talent to apply (at least that’s what it claims!). Prep is pretty easy—fill any holes, sand, and wipe down.  Let’s get started!

Before—boring cream laminate with knife chips and tons of holes under the old microwave.

Before—taped off, sanded, and ready for base coat!
