I made a small update to the window in my bathroom. I preface this by announcing that I hate the windows in this house. They’re from 1952. Single pane. They slide down often. They don’t lock together. When I first came, they rattled in their panes until I caulked them. They’re horrible to clean from the outside, the small panes hard to reach. I’m sure we lose heat through them in the winter.
All that being said, I did use some glass paint in my bathroom many years ago to give a bit of privacy. Curtains are simple valances in most of my rooms, seeing as how my neighbors are not close!
The frosted glass look was ok, but somehow I stumbled across decorative window clings and I decided to change things up. Scraping the window paint and caulk off was one thing, then I had to repaint the trim because old windows peel up… ugh. It turned into a bigger project than expected.
I do like the looks of the cling film. I’ll see how it holds up. I still must recaulk but for a home improvement, it was inexpensive and easy enough to do.
