Looks great. What type of wood did you end up using for this project?

Beautiful job!
What color stain did you use on the cabinets?

Still Hard at work...
I hope to post some pictures of the finished project soon, I have to have it done by December 4th so we can attend the rally at Fort Christmas here in Florida so the pressure is on. To answer some of your questions, I used oak wood for the cabinet and sanded ply for the large piece. The stain my wife picked out and it is Min wax Colonial Maple 223. It is a lite stain and I am pleased with the tone, it brightens up the dark original paneling.
Look for some pictures soon and I am anxious to hear what you all think.

One thing leads to another
Great work but I know how this progression works. You're doing such a good job that now all the other woodwork will look "dated". So then you do the Gauchos, the Wood paneling, the end caps, the bathroom, replace the light fixtures, on and on it goes...

More Pics
Ok as promised here are some pictures of the finished kitchen counter, new floor, new paint, new curtains, and what ever else I fixed up and can't think of right now. I think it all came out pretty good and cant wait to use it this weekend at Fort Christmas. Then after the holidays on to the next project, the new dinette.

Very nice work! Is your furnace still located within the galley? Did you replace it with a new one? What stovetop did your use. We are planning a similar project.

Higgy,
Did you use plywood for the end of the cabinet? Everything looks awesome! GREAT WORK!!

Higgy,
Great workmanship on the cabinets and great detail work, even down to the quarter round moulding around the base. It looks like everything came together perfectly!

Thanks
Thanks for all the comments, to answer some of your questions, the blind are just inexpensive blinds that I picked up, I would someday like to replace them with metal or wood blinds but my budget has gone into the REDDDDDD and I have done run out of money for now. I did use sanded plywood on the end of the cabinet with the rest oak, the furnace is still in the same spot and so is the water pump I designed the cabinet around everything that was already there.

I live with a woodworker, and grew up with a father woodworker. You'll never convince me that you've never done that before! Looks fantastic!

More cabinet work
Well I think I have posted some pictures of the dinette I made but I can not find the thread I posted them on so since I have finished another cabinet under the wall mounted TV I thought I would post some pictures of the dinette and the new cabinet. The latest cabinet is for storage under the TV and has a built in sub woofer for the TV surround sound in the bottom of it, I made a swing up extension for my wife or I to use as a small desk or for our little girl to use for school work or play. I made the top of the cabinet split and 2/3rds of it slides in and out so i can store the dinette table behind it while not in use or when it is being used the cabinet top and extension slides back against the wall for use so we don't loose things behind it when using it as a desk. Above the cabinet I built a small power panel with the TV antenna, 120V outlet, and an outlet for the inverter I built into the panel with the yellow outlet for inverter power when boon-docking. The old girl is finally getting near the end of the inside remodel, we sure do enjoy using her.
