marlaine @Tudy Flansburg - what do you think?

$32 - need 2 panels for the kitchen - how's this?

4 of these $.49 can always get more, or not be too disappointed that they might be awful

1 shelf along one wall... :)

this looks a lot like our kitchen - cabinets are white, same type of nickel knobs, peachy countertop - i wish we could have done something with the counters & floor - that's when we do the real renovations; for now - the paint has freshened things up and the cabinets will offer a little bit more space
