Its true that darker colors will make it feel smaller inside,but they do
hide stains better. I love the wood grain cabinets, mine are the blah beige

with mom @ Hancock fabrics and found some nice material to replace my old
saggy,torn,moldy looking and smelling curtains. Mom sewed them up as a
Christmas present for Velma!
