About a year ago it really started bugging me that we the top maybe 1/5 of our front door and the entire dining room door was clear uncovered glass. It bothered me that any person as tall as me could easily look in our front door and see the living room, office, dining room, and the long hall to the bathroom. It bothered that the neighbors that lived across the street from our dining room door always seemed to be sitting on their front porch when we were sitting down to eat dinner. It was borderline creepy.
I'd thought about curtains or blinds but I didn't really want to do much to keep the sunlight out. I just wanted to feel a little less exposed.
Thank you, Pinterest. I found this great pin that led to this great blog (not just this one post, her whole blog is pretty great.)
I already had contact paper. score. I decided to use the stencil for the front door and solid blocks for the dining room.
And I ended up tracing my stencil right off the computer screen because we didn't have ink in the printer at the time! seriously, I didn't even want to wait for printer ink. After lots of tracing and lots of cutting out and measuring, I gave it a go.
I probably should have worked slower and took my time, but well, I was excited and I rushed through getting it finished. It's not perfect, but I really like it and I think it's much improved!
I put the contact paper on last summer (talk about slow on posting!) and I haven't had any trouble with any of it peeling off.
