    then in quarters length wise. I put the fitted sheet and pillow cases on top of flat sheet and roll all together., Then you flatten the roll with a slap of your hand. When you put away they're all together . Keeps the linen closet neat and you just stack one set on top the other.

    about $3000 for them @$45 sq ft measured and installed. My cabinets were in great shape but I did buy a new stove....Kitchen Aid smooth top gas/ceradure top by Schott (looks like white corning ware) has little wholes for the gas to come through and it is easy to clean and I love it. Got that 1/2 price clearance at Sears. $750. So now my kitchen is great and upgraded. I love working in there and it is the centerpiece of my home.

    $3000.Geallo Ornamental was the color. Beige,White,Black , brown all combined, I have a white Kitchen Aid smooth top Gas stove, and other white appliances and it looks great . Great investment and I love them....I didn't change my cabinets as they were in great shape but the counter tops really upgraded my kitchen. I would suggest is anyone is changing their counters to buy light (not white) not dark....dust is terrible on them.
