My new to me boat was clearly the "base model" with no extras and early in the production run to boot. So there are lots of internal fit out bits missing. I am looking for recommended suppliers of the following:

rubbish bin - no suitable place to put a domestic pedal bin so its an attatched to the door type needed
shelves or nets for forecabin - believe it or not the cabin has a wardrobe but no shelving at all
companionway rope tidies for halyards etc
plate cup and glass holders for galley - interior woodwork is nice and in teak, so to match that .Got 2 recommendations already.
stainless handrails for side of companionway entrance
toilet roll holder and towel rail in stainless.
toerail is grp and you stand on it to get on board so something to protect against wear
small pieces of teak faced real marine ply, and teak mouldings
 
Force 4 and Howells will do most of your bits, although just google the terms and you may well find other sources. I do this a lot for my refit project and it is surprising how many sources and variations of product you find. Caravan suppliers are also a good source for domestic things like your rubbish bin. Teak faced ply is increasingly hard to find in any form let alone small pieces. I am now veneering my own bits - just done some in sapele and have some teak to do the new companionway steps. Not difficult to do with backed veneers if the pieces are small.
