Old heart pine, in that honey color is my favorite wood.  I want to slowly 
change out all the oak fronts to rustic old pine.  Might even paint the 
"kitchen" and then sand it to give the pine that primitive look.  

<BUT, I found The Most Beautiful vase / bowl / not sure what -
 made of mesquite of all things. The wood has a look & feel very close to
 an aged burl walnut, sorta resembles coffee with a swirl of cream,
 nothing predictable about it. A very warm & soothing piece, expensive
 (to me), but became my Christmas present to myself. Sits on the
 nightstand between the single beds in my Safari. A tad too big for the
 space at maybe 18" tall & maybe 8 to 10" in circumference, but I have no
 other place for it right now. >>

Heck, I have a 31" bronze sculpture in my trailer, on the bookcase..... I 
don't worry about space, I cram in things that I like.
 
<When I win the Lotto, I'd love to put Jackson Center to work creating a very 
personalized trailer,  and you can bet the flooring or cabinets will be of 
mesquite ... if I
 can afford it. Texas Lotto's ain't that big any more.>

Why can't you simply change out the cabinet doors or cover them with 
mesquite?  Some day all my doors will be primitive pine and lodgepole pine.

Found this website... the wood is gorgeous... pricey too....
