This kitchen had 2 appliance garages (aka bread boxes), one in each corner that we needed to epoxy around. Epoxy can go directly over laminate (formica) but because this laminate was old and peeling, we peeled it completely over and covered the particle board counters beneath.

After we finished the counters, these clients were going to put in all new appliances, backsplash, flooring, etc. to make it a brand new home for them! What an exciting time.
