thank you brothers i should have noted a close up would show cabinet are made to look a hundred years old they are destressed and nicked to look the part so i had to exact match that huge crown molding. mitered,pin striped,destressed and spray laquer to match.the ceiling step up contains a/c vents, stereo speakers ,totally disguise .did i mention all i did was was build the entire kitchen under the whip ---yes dear!;wife is a interior decorator thus the future of the bertram interior is bleak!!!

I'm sure the boat interior will look great too, knowing your attention to detail. Removable curtains for pressure washing fish guts off?

Bob,
Closing in on the finishing touches on the same project for my Bride. Lots of work but well worth the effort. When the floor goes in I'll post pix.
After doing this for over forty years I know the good stuff when I see it. I see it in your fabulous kitchen. Know your Bride must be thrilled.
NOW, back to the Bertram!

Holy Cow Bob. You missed your calling. Really nice. Building cabinets requires some pretty nice woodworking equipment or a very talented person if using minimal tools.

Either way, it looks great. You should be proud.

mikey i would love to see the completed project. i look at work on my own house in a differant propective . first of all i will never move due to location . sometimes i just add a little touch a a project turns out so much better . this is the view of the opposite side of kitchen from first photo.that is regular anderson windowall . i just added some molding detail and she loved it this is south and the sun comes up over the water and the kitchen is bright and sunny during morning coffee. giff a little project and then i can say " honey i going to do a halo jump today from 25,000' " ok call if your not making supper!!some day i will post her bathroom suite. thousands of hours of work.

Bob, I'm taking notes from you on the happy wife thing! Sounds like it goes a long way in the "letting you" work on the boat. Shower her with
kitchens and kindness ha? Uh oh, she's walkin into computer room gotta go.
