Hello Sweet Blogging Friends.
Awhile ago I did a switch a roo with my big farm house window in the living room.
|
We moved the farmhouse window and shutters to this side window of my living room it fit almost perfect.
The problem was how to get privacy so my neighbor cannot see in at night.
I did not want to put blinds behind the farmhouse window. I thought that would look weird and take away from the farmhouse window. |
|
I found this at Home Depot. It is a window film that lets light in but gives you privacy.
It was easy peasy to apply.
The first thing you do is clean the window. The next step is to use a spray bottle of water with a little dish soap.
You spray the window and then apply your measured cut piece of film to the window.
You then use a small scraper to get the bubbles out. It seriously was so easy to do. |
|
This is how the applied film looked on the window. It was a raining and dark day with no sunshine.
Even with the rainy dark day the light was still coming in the window.
We no longer saw my neighbor. Complete privacy. |
|
Hung the farmhouse window back up. |
|
Now we have complete privacy without taking away from the farmhouse window.
Light still can filter in through the window.
This was such an easy DIY. Have a great new week ahead. Hugs, Kris |
That looks great. Very effective!
ReplyDeleteWow, that film worked just great!! The widow is lovely.

I love window film...so much better than blinds. Sometimes it can be a pain to install but it looks like you had an easy time with it! Great solution indeed! Happy Monday! Love and hugs!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent idea! Lets light in and provides privacy!
ReplyDeleteHappy you tried this product. We did this in our first home. Same technique and easy and does the job without taking light away.
ReplyDeleteHave a great start to your week

I love your farm house window; so pretty! I love the privacy film. I have had it on my front door for years. Light comes in and I have privacy too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI've used Artcard before, great product. Love that you have your privacy and all the light, too. Have a happy week Kris! xoxoxox
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Love the window......

I've seen those before, they are brilliant! Gorgeous window, Kris!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteA great solution for your problem!’
ReplyDeleteGlad you found this product -- we've been using it for years. Right now we have it in our master bath and on the windows on either side of our front door. I found out about it by accident. An old neighbor gave it to me after she bought it and decided not to use it! Your window set up is gorgeous. xo Kathleen
ReplyDeleteSo happy it turned out just the way you wanted and needed it to! The farmhouse window and shutters look gorgeous! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThat was a great idea Kris and the window looks great and you have your privacy! :)
ReplyDeleteA great idea ~ I had this on some windows in another house ~ worked like a charm!
ReplyDeleteYou're a pure genius, Kris! That was a perfect solution!!
ReplyDeleteKris, that turned out so well. I like that there is no pattern so it looks just like a plain window and doesn't take away from the farmhouse window at all. Love it..Happy Monday..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea! I never even knew they made this stuff. All our windows are covered in blinds since we have neighbors all around us but I leave them open during the day. Close them at night. I can understand why blinds wouldn't work on your window - and you found the perfect solution!
ReplyDeleteI think I need one in my bedroom! I love the sunshine and I like open blinds, but I do need some privacy sometimes. Especially so when I come be-barreling out of the bathroom half naked only to remember that the sun is shining through! Yikes.
ReplyDeleteGOOD MORNING! Now this is awesome. I've seen this film before, but we ended up getting a special window for our bathroom instead, but this is such an inexpensive and easy solution. Plus, it really adds that foggy, misty, gorgeous white and dreamy feel!
ReplyDeleteSuper idea, especially since light isn't blocked....much better than blinds! I love your pretty window.
ReplyDeleteI think that is what I would call PERFECT!! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat's smart, a beautiful wieu..
ReplyDeleteHugs, Ida
Kris!! This is an amazing idea!! It looks great!! And you are not being spied on!! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Great remedy Kris. It looks great and you instant privacy. Privacy is very important. You conquered the issue. Kudos. Hugs
ReplyDeleteYour living area has rely come together! Belated Happy Birthday to Buddy! The big 1year old! I hope Terry is doing much better since his surgery. I love this idea. Our master bedroom upstairs is like being in a fishbowl and this will give us much needed privacy!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome fix. The houses in my neighborhood are tight. This would be a great solution to some bathroom window dilemmas we have!
