How do I get privacy with my front door beautifully?
We have a front door that is paned (18 I think) glass. I've tried handging a linen curtain inside to complement our mission decor, but the dog shreds the curtain in his effort to look out.
I don't not want people to be able to see inside. not sure what do do. Help!

- Jeanette Son Dec 12, 2016I would look at the big box stores for window film...most of these go on with water and come off with water (they also carry a "solution" that you can use). These would be better than contact paper because they have no glue. But leave at least 1 of two panes where the dog can look out!HelpfulReply
- DD 66on Dec 13, 2016I have a similar door and went to Lowes and got the window film with a slight decoration on it , like etched glass , but you can tell who is at the door without the person really seeing in. It works great winter and summer. My door gets REALLY hot in the summer and I haven't had any problems in 3 years.HelpfulReply

Zabitaton Dec 17, 2016You can replace the glass with one that matches your stile. Based on the comments, you have a typical 18 Light insert in a steel or fiberglass door. I'm guessing it is an 8 foot door and the frame size holding the glass in place is 24" x 82" or 22" x 82", which are standard sizes. The clear glass is held in place with a frame. The attached image has a 12 light insert(24 x 50") that was changed out to a decorative glass insert. You can purchase one for your 18 light insert as well.HelpfulReply
- Karenon Dec 17, 2016Thanks. I am sorry if I didn't mention that our door is the original wood door but I'll see if I can find inserts because that is a great idea!HelpfulReply
