Carpentry: new framing and cabinet faces

I did finish painting the cabinet doors and drawer fronts, and now I'm fretting about the amount of ruffle that should reside in our camper curtains. HOWEVER the real issues with the Toaster are the kind that require actual skills, like carpentry.  David is on it.

We knew when we bought the camper that it had water damage in the ceiling.  Remember this?

Which was concealing this?

Well the whole ceiling framing and some of the wall framing (along the top) came out, and David has been replacing it with clean, dry, fresh smelling wood.  Recent photo:

Yay! David made great progress on this today.

He's also got some ideas for making the camper cozier, using some woodworking details.  Two specific ideas include building some small ends for the dinette benches, to make it feel like you are in a restaurant booth (this is a mock up, for shape and scale):

AND some decorative scrolling at the base of the cabinets. Actually these are called "face frames."

The old cabinets had to come out so we could get to the water damaged framing, etc.

Details make a difference. Thanks David!
