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.
