But of course any special photo would do...Have fun and good luck...I am not registered here yet but soon....you can e-mail me at agtriada@aol.com....

If they fit, old windows & shutters make great kitchen cabinet doors. Hint- spring loaded hinges will keep them closed without having to mount additional magnet or clips.
