hello neighbors!

As much as we love our neighborhood and neighbors, our full glass exposure to the street allowed little to no privacy.
When my friend Sheela came to visit she commented how it must be hard not to be able to come downstairs in our pajamas...and she was right, having no privacy meant we couldn't get comfortable here.



So, we found inexpensive solutions to tide us over until we are ready to do something more with the front door.

I looked all over for curtains for the side windows. I really wanted roman canvas blinds but our windows sized too small and would need to be custom made, too much money right now. And the oval glass door just lets in too much sun as well as full view of our living level.

So I found Stained Glass Appliques (repositionable self cling window designs) for the side windows and an etched glass cling for the oval by Artscape. Both were very easy to adhere and created the privacy we needed. And the side windows still allow us to see our visitors.
