I made a big discovery when putting in my two big tall cabinets ...I had wanted the brown wood look, but all I could find was white.........but wow, when I put them into my not huge sewing room, it really lit the place up......it seemed so much brighter, lighter, bigger that I could not believe the difference.............do when thinking on the colors to paint your collection of items, this might help to know........that white really did light it up so much more than I would have thought...........
