Bleaching the original upholstery, new cabinet doors, new dinnette table


The upholstery is blue-vinyl on one side and off-white fabric all around.  We unzipped the cushions, filled the bath tub with water/bleach, then let the covers soak overnight.  Only one of the foam cushions has mold residue.  Maybe the sun can cure it.  Maybe we'll have to order a replacement from scamp.






I used the old cabinet doors as templates for new baltic birch doors, made a template to round the edges with a router, painted them with a cabinet/trim high gloss acrylic, and found some chrome auto shut hinges.





The original dinette tabletop was also a good template to router a new table into form.  After  purchasing a number of maple planks from the discount maple bin at Menards.  I used cabinetry clamps and a biscuit joiner to laminate the wood for a new tabletop.  After some coats of shellac, I attached the original trim to the new tabletop.
