Since I have been unable to locate doors I am proceeding with my own fabrication.
I have the base door in place and hinged, as well as the original style catch. (The "handle" is temporary. I have matching handles for the doors when it's done) The whole thing opens to allow garbage cans etc to go in and out. When closed it is supposed to look like the sink cabinet. I have Afromosia veneered 1/4" which with another 1/4" luan will go on top of the 3/4" to make the panels at almost the right reveal. (I need 3/8" but that's proving tough to do). The sapele pieces will make it look like the usual framing.
The hardest part is turning out to be the trim. I have been unable to locate it. Custom mill shops are not returning my calls. The woodcraft shop has 1000 router/shaper bits but nothing just like it. The closest I am coming is to cut on the 45 then run it over a 1/2 round bit (1" radius) and then cut in the rabbit, and then round over the two edges by hand..... Complex and hard to get consistent.
I have not tried ordering a custom router bit yet.... Anyone have experience/recommendations with that?
(Sorry about the picture quality.... they seem to lose all definition when I upload them.....)

Re: Door trim.
It's rare to see carpeting in a galley. I think you're on the right track with the trim.

Re: Door trim.
It's a standard sized rug, with a standard runner between the engine rooms and a standard door rug under the table. Matching set, $50 or so on Amazon. Easier on the feet and back. Replace when dirty, every two years or so, which counts as a decor refresh. We do the same thing at home. BTW I may be able to fenagle you a pineapple.

Re: Door trim.
forget the router bit. find a shop with a CNC router and they can reproduce that trim fairly easily. I assume you are talking about the trim Hatteras used around the perimeter to cover the plywood edge .
