Window Treatment

I was so very proud last week to have tackled the task of changing out my porch's post lights all by myself...with my small child confusingly looking at me from inside.

But there's been something I've been meaning to do for the past 2.5 years and finally I got around to doing it as my Tuesday midnight project {yeah, I wouldn't recommend too many of those}

Betty and her hubby had introduced me to Light Effects window film. An easy-to-apply glass film that you find at your local Home Depot or Lowe's.

So tonight I purchased 2 rolls {the come in 24"x36" packages and was $23 and some change per pack}

Measure twice and cut once. If you choose to apply a design, you may want to center and ensure you can have your pattern line up.

I decided I didn't want to pay another $24 for a 3rd package just to have the top arch line up so I made do with what I had.

Once you've cut your design, clean the window with Windex, then take a spray bottle {filled with a soapy water solution} and spray liberally over the window.

Remove the film's paper backing carefully and apply it to the window. It's actually not scary at all. The more soap solution, the easier it is to apply {you can glide the film into place}. Use the enclosed squeegee to squeeze out any bubbles.

Et VOILA!

A bit more private from the street view, but allows me to see who is at the front door from inside.
