Okay, Mike S -- you have shamed me into getting a sewing machine. Been
wanting to make our own curtains for the Westy anyway. Both the
originals and the new Sunbrella set we got from GoWesty are a fairly
dark material. Mrs Squirrel always thought the inside could use some
brightening up. A cheerful butter yellow or maybe white with happy red
flowers or something like that.*
