THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. Winner has been contacted via email. Congratulations, Elizabeth G.!!!
It’s that time of the week! Time to share your latest do-it-yourself projects. I’m always so inspired by your creativity and hard work.
I’m still slowly making progress in the family room. Our living room and family room are joined by a set of interior French doors. Both rooms serve similar purposes. The living room is where Mr. DIY and I hang out and watch tv. The family room is where the kids hang out. So a little privacy between the two rooms is preferred.
Wallpaperforwindows.com has a huge selection of decorative etched, stained glass and privacy window films. I chose a light frost privacy film for the windows (just measure size and quantity in the order and they cut to size). It’s a translucent film that obscures visibility through the glass. Perfect for allowing the light to shine through but gives a little privacy between the rooms. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to install too!
First, I cleaned my windows. I spritz the glass with Windex, wipe with a dryer sheet and clean with a paper towel. I think I saw this trick on Pinterest and it works so well.
Once the window was dry, I gathered my supplies and washed my hands:
Optional: helper
- Spray bottle with water and a few drops of dish soap (do not shake)
- Window film
- Squeegee (credit card type tool provided with my window film order)
- Paper towels
Mist the glass with the soap/water solution.
Peel away the window film from backing. (I recommend pulling away from the long side first, not the shorter end to prevent crease/fold line.)
Place onto misted glass. I love that it’s vinyl and not “sticky” (It’s adhesive-free! No residue when removing in the future). Film can be easily moved around for perfect placement.
Once in place, mist the film with soap/water solution. Working from the middle, squeegee the film (this pushes the water and air bubbles out).
Simply dry with a paper towel.
It’s that easy.
See the difference?
Privacy!

Thanks so much for hosting, Roeshel! Your door looks great 🙂
Your French Doors look great. I hope you’ll let us know how you like the added privacy. Smart idea! Thanks for sharing.
And thank you for hosting today’s party.
I love the frosted look – still light but private! Thanks for hosting today. Bev
I was just looking for options for my sliding glass door, and thinking of a diy option for those paper screens you can put on to them, hopped over to my google reader and bam, here is this. Awesome timing on this post!
The doors look fabulous. I would use it on the side glass of my front door. I loved the Monterey Bay leaded glass look. I love your room and this looks amazing. Hugs, marty
What a wonderful job you’ve done on your living room! I love the look of the French doors with the privacy film on them.
I’d use the film on the windows in my bathrooms, privacy there is a must!!! 🙂
I’d love this in my kitchen!! Thanks! ~Lori
My thoughts for today: I’d love to win this! ;D Thanks! ~Lori
I love the leaded glass – see through look! Thanks! ~Lori
Looks like a great product! I would love some for the kids’ bathroom window.
Your doors look great! I NEED this for my bedroom doors! I currently have lace curtains over my french doors to our bedroom and I’m really tired of them – we need the privacy also! Love this!
I love what you did with the doors. If I won, I’d use the product on my bathroom or bedroom window. Thanks for offering the giveaway!
That is a great solution. Can’t wait to see the finished room! Thanks for the party. Have a great day!
I would choose the light privacy film – i think it’s the same one you used – it would be PERFECTO!
Thoughts for today: I’m happy it’s Sunday (my day – he he) and I got to go to church today!
I shared on my FB page 🙂
I shared on Twitter too 🙂
I would love to try this. I’ve got a window in my bathroom that I keep trying to cover (with curtains, blinds, etc.) but nothing seems to work. I want privacy and light. I like the way yours looks but I’d probably pick the regular frost (instead of lite) for more privacy. So funny you posted this today…I hung sheer curtains over it yesterday and I already hate them.
Sharing this on my facebook page too.
I love the frosted window glass treatment. I actually did this to the glass on my entry panels. Creates a wonderful soft light…
Thanks so much for hosting!!! Megan
I really need this wallpaper for the french doors in my bedroom.
My thoughts today are happy. I love Sunday church, specially this one being Palm Sunday.

I like the Frosted Glass Window Film.
I am SO EXCITED. We are getting ready to redo our bathroom and I want to remove the janky metal blinds and put something like this up. LOVE IT!
My tought on today… We’ve made it to church. all five of us! That’s an accomplishments. Everyone’s resting and I have a little blog time to myself. woo hoo!
I LOVE the frosted glass!!! Light + privacy = AWESOME! Thanks for hosting! XO, Aimee
Thanks for the chance to win. I have been looking for something like this for a while to use on my main exterior entry door with the 1/2 circle.
I love the frosted look.
I love it! I’ve been looking at films to put on the windows to replace some nasty outdated blinds in our pool bathroom, but was worried about it looking cheap, this looks great though!
I would use the light frosted on our pool bath door!
Love the frosted look, Roeshel. Thanks for hosting.
I’ve been wanting to do this to the sidelights on our front door. You can see them in the project I linked up today. Right now we have sheers, but I like the cleaner look of this project. Thanks for hosting the party.
Roeshel,
It is amazing how such a small detail could make such a big difference. I love the room.
I LOVE the frosted look….thank you so much for hosting!
I love the frosted look and it looks so easy to do.
Thanks for hosting again.

Love the transformation on your French doors.
Thank you so much for hosting this party. There is so much fantastic inspiration.
Your room looks great! Thanks for hosting.
Thanks for hosting and the giveaway! I would definitely use the frosting for the windows in our bathrooms which are all strangely located over the toilets!
Thanks for this post Roeshel, I have bookmarked the website for future use when we redo our bathroom. One window has privacy frost, the other doesn’t, strangely.
This would be perfect for the windows around our front door. I’ve contemplated what to do, especially since it’s in our living room and creeps me out when I watch TV at night by myself.
I would chose the Avalon Etched Glass (semi-private of course!).
I love the frosted glass. We tried to figure out how to do this on my office doors at home. It is sometimes used for a place to put the baby down for a nap.
I am no pro Sushi maker, but my tutorial will teach the at home chef how to make easy Sushi-sans raw fish. It’s very healthy, cheap to make and so yummy. Hope you enjoy! Thanks for hosting the party once again. Have a great week!

Hey Roeshel, thanks for hosting the party. By the way, I love your new Project Parade button, very classy.
I would totally use this “window paper” on a glass door in my home! Hope I win!
What a change! Thanks so much for hosting!

I love this idea! My windows in my dining room are damaged – the dual panes have condensation in between them. I’m hoping this will lessen the unsightly look of them without completely blocking the light. Thanks for the tutorial!
I would use them in our bathrooom

I would use this product in our kitchen. We have transom windows that I love for all the light they let in, but there is one… it drives me crazy because it lines up directly with the sun and the stove. It is brutal trying to cook with all that sun blinding me! This would be great!!
My thoughts today… I am SO glad it is Friday. It’s been a long work week and I am ready for a breather!
I think I would choose the Mirage Stained Glass Privacy Window Film. I love the colors!
How Cool! That’s a great way to obscure the view with out totally obstructing the light!
Thanks so much for the party, Roeshel!!!
