Teardrop trailer construction 5

We made a little progress today and things are starting to look up. The doors were refinished and mounted. They look much better but we are still not happy with them and we may rebuild them either with Lyptus or we may just make maple doors so the countertop contrasts with the cabinets. If we do that I think it will be after the rest of the trailer is finished. We are starting to build in the cabinet partitions as you can tell from these pictures. The open cabinet will be drawers. We have the fronts done but not the drawer boxes.
The cabinet frame is mounted and the partitions are in place. These cabinets will have a flat panel door that is black. The panels will have the same herring bone paneling that the walls have. It should be a nice accent. All of the casing around the door will also be black and there will be a shallow shelf on the other wall that will be black also.
Here is a picture of the panneling installed on the side wall. You might wonder what happened to the door that was cut into the side. Well we put the plywood back into the opening and screwed it in place so that we could install the wood tiles over the top of the door. That way when we cut the door out this week all the tiles will match up on the door. We think the paneling is turning out awsome.
