There is a ton of white grass cloth inlays in all the cabinets in our older Carvers. I was wondering if anyone has modified their cabinets to look more up to date?

Re: Has anyone changed the color of their cabinets?
We were considering it but have not yet. We have a few other priorities that are beginning with this beautiful warm weather this week. Let me know if you do. My wife does not like all of the wood.
Thanks,
Steve

Re: Has anyone changed the color of their cabinets?
I am currently contemplating updating my cabinets on my 4207 keeping the teak outer frame with frosted glass inserts. The interior of my boat is warm and comfortable but I may redo it completely. It currently feels like a log cabin and I think a redo to more like beach house will be a nice change.

Re: Has anyone changed the color of their cabinets?
Might not be apples-and-apples, but...
I am nearing the end of redoing all of the cabinet interior in my old 28 Santa Cruz. It was mostly mahogany- solid and veneer. It was originally a varnished "honey" color and had been poorly maintained. I removed everything possible (all drawers, doors, some cabinets, wood trim), stripped/scraped/sanded to bare wood, and am refinishing with Interlux "ChrisCraft" red mahogany wood filler. Eventually will gloss-coat varnish. The drab brown carpet (floors and berth walls) will go next, replaced with laminate floor on floors, and new carpet on walls. Next year hopefully all the mint-green cushions will be reupholstered. This year they just get covered with pillows. I'll post pix when I finish. Hopefully before we launch next Friday...........

Take a look at the latest Boat US magazine. Pg 53 is a Carver redo of cabinets. Very Impressive. Do not want to show my wife.
