It's all about the small and simple things...

So, as the exterior of our house has been getting a makeover, I decided to complete a project that has been on my to-do list. I added the letter "f" to the window on our front door. It is the first initial of our last name, and I love the way it turned out!



You see, before we just had this window that made it easy for people to just see clear into our house...





Here is a view from the inside...



I printed a letter "f" once I found the right font I wanted it in.



Yesterday at Home Depot, I bought this contact paper for windows that has the Rice Paper look. It was about $20 for the roll.



Then I taped it down for a nice hold, and cut out the letter with one of Danny's razor blade things since I don't own a xacto knife! I ended up using the second one that I did. I thought I would adhere it to the inside of the window, but it didn't look good, so I cut another one out facing the correct way and adhered it to the outer side of the window. I had to use a debit card when I applied it to the window to make sure there were no bubbles.



And while it still doesn't give us complete privacy, atleast it helps somewhat, and I am loving the way it looks!

  1. what a good idea! I love the simplicity. I've always been a sucker for a subtle frosted glass look on a front door...
