sup /diy/ I've got an old mobile home and this is the "wood" that's used for all the cabinets, the bar, trim, etc. I want to update it but some of the "wood" (especially in the bar area) is in bad shape so rather than just paint it, I plan to actually take the paneling off and replace it with something (bead board, wainscot, etc), I'm just not sure what yet.

I can't really find anything online about this, but from the look of it, I should be able to remove the cabinet doors, then take the face of the cabinets off and use it as a template to cut a new piece (again, not sure what kind of material I'd use) then put the new up where the old piece was. I'm not talking about redoing the shelves, just the exterior (front and any visible sides). Does that seem possible? Then of course I'd buy new cabinet doors, something simple and plain (anything is better than what I have now!) I just can't afford all new cabinets.

So my questions are: does that^^^ seem possible and what kind of wood or paneling would look decent for the facing of the cabinets (which would also be used on the bar)? Whatever is chosen, I'd need to be able to find doors that would be able to match. I'm not too picky, I'm just poor and want to do some upgrades
