"Last year, I transformed a dated bathroom in my suburban Cleveland home into the modern "Smurf-blue" oasis of my dreams. It's still one of my proudest DIY projects - a labor of love that took close to four months to complete. And once it was done, I needed a serious break from power tools, but that doesn't mean that I am content sitting still."
"Without the budget for custom roller shades, and looking for something both functional and fabulous, I decided to hack my way into stained glass windows by way of Amazon. I picked out this vintage-inspired 17.5×39.4-inch roll of iris-patterned privacy film, which only cost me about $13. And it wasn't a random choice; I actually have irises growing in my backyard, so the floral design perfectly ties in the outdoors with the indoors."
"Installing the window film was ridiculously simple. All I had to do was wet the window and apply the film, then push out the air bubbles. It's been more than a year since the faux stained glass made its debut, and I have not had to adjust it once. It has held up through both sweltering summer days and frigid winters so far!"
A dated suburban bathroom was transformed into a Smurf-blue oasis over nearly four months. The space lacked window treatments, and curtains would conflict with the adjacent shower curtain while blinds felt uninspired. A budget-friendly alternative was a vintage-inspired iris-patterned privacy film purchased for about $13, chosen to echo backyard irises and connect the outdoors with the interior. Installation required wetting the window, applying the film, and smoothing out air bubbles. The faux stained glass has remained in place for over a year without adjustment and has withstood both hot summers and cold winters. Paint choices included Behr's Night Blooming Jasmine above the trim and a violet-tinted Clark + Kensington Jet Setter below.
