Garage door windows........
What is a tasteful and good looking way to cover up garage door windows? So if someone looks in there they can't see what's in there? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
Roman shades are a nice alternative. They lay flat when down and have a nice layered look when drawn up. If you're a little crafty, you can make your own like I did. You can find direction on-line. It's been a while since I made them.
I found an old small stained glass window at an antique store for fifty bucks. I cleaned it, painted it with a thinned down mixture of elmer glue and water on the frame. It had a chippy paint finish on the frame, and this will bind down the lead paint. Added a chain and hung it in the window. It was about 18" x 22". The sun shining through it is pretty. It is not ornate per say. Just a window with frosted glass and a little simple design in the middle of colored glass. If you don't want to fool with this...look for a stained glass window sun catcher on eBay or etsy to put in it. They have pretty big ones.
A glass shelf across the middle of the window with pretty colored glass bottles.
ARTSCAPE makes a plastic cling that appears to be stained glass or clear with an etched picture of; for example, a light house. Some you can see out of, some you cannot. they are reusable and are around $20.00.
hang some lovely full houseplants from hooks above your kitchen window :) even better if some of those plants are herbs you can use when you cook :)
Omg - all of your suggestions are fabulous. I guess I was stuck in a rut! Thank you everyone - now I have a tough time deciding!
I put short white sheers in my kitchen windows over the sink. Then tied them back with various things.....colored cord..plastic greenery... beads.....for Christmas I put red poinsettias..looked very fresh and airy. Didn't seem to get dirty as they just came to the sill but easy to wash too.
