Manila, Philippines – The activist fisherfolk group Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (PAMALAKAYA-Pilipinas) on Monday urged the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to perform its mandate in protecting the environment, including the Manila Bay by declaring it as a reclamation-free zone.

Would you believe this transformation only cost about $60? The cost of paint, primer and liquid nails plus our time planning and labor.Fishers urged DENR to declare Manila Bay a ‘reclamation-free zone’ I couldn’t be happier with the end result. I might even call them vintage, with love.

Starting with the backsplash…the original was a sheet of plastic. We found a couple of ways to transform this galley to become the rustic coastal kitchen that the beach house (and us) deserves. With that said, we just couldn’t justify a full reno nor was it in the budget. It is like no one ever used the kitchen in this old beach house ’til we got here. The cabinets, appliances, countertop and backsplash were all very late 80′s style but in excellent condition from little use over the years. Last week we spent some time focusing on the dated galley kitchen in Cape May. Today I have a before and after reveal for you that I am super excited about! Here’s a glimpse at the after…
