How To Frost Garage Door Windows

This is a guest post from Vivienne of The V Spot.

Wallpaper For Windows solved a marital dispute. (Truly a versatile production!) Plus a giveaway!

Handsome Married man and I have been butting heads over our garage.

Not but most whose mess/clutter is on whose side of the garage, and who has more crap than the other, etc.  but also about the windows in our garage.  I detest that you can pull upwards into our driveway and see what is inside, correct up against the door.  (A filing chiffonier, gardening supplies, sports equipment, etc.)

If in that location is a way to photograph glass without a reflection, I would love to hear about it…

I also hated(Hated!) that equally you were walking up to our front door you could see the entire messy contents of HH'southward workbench/crap filled horizontal surface.  (This is as well something my mother commented on.  Often.  "Your firm looks so beautiful until you lot see the crap in the garage window….")

I had wanted to hang upwards curtain panels, or spray the glass with frosting spray, anything actually, to block out the mess.  HH claimed he needed to be able to see out onto the lawn, needed light, etc.  He wanted to put upwards blinds (which I strongly suspected wouldn't happen).  So for a few years nosotros've been talking near it, arguing about it, merely not doing anything about it.  (We're supah-motivated like that…)

Wallpaper For Windows to the rescue.   They contacted me about trying out some of their removable covers/clings for glass.  They take a huge selection on their website.  I couldn't decide.  I couldn't think of a artistic project.  I knew I wanted to do something fun.  (Of course all of the Mike stuff was going on during this fourth dimension, so my inventiveness had taken quite a hit…)
Then information technology dawned on me:The Garage!

I but measured the glass panes on the garage door  because I assumed the panes over the workbench were the same size.  Then I counted upwardly the total of panes and sent in my asking to Wallpaper For Windows.
(Tip of the Day: NEVER assume that all of your windows are the same, exact size.)

HH was Non on board with the thought.  He idea it would be also dark in the garage.  He idea it would look bad from the exterior.  Incorrect on all counts. (And he admitted it! Dontcha love when that happens?!)

Wallpaper For Windows cuts the pieces to your specifications and sends them on a roll of pare and stick backing, along with the super easy instructions for installation.  It turns out that the window panes over the bench are slightly larger that the panes on the door.  (I didn't measure them considering they were besides hard to get to.  oops.)
The funny part?  My measuring mistake was the perfect hubby and wife compromise.

We concluded upwardly taking the slightly undersized frosted squares and centering them on the drinking glass. This is very piece of cake to exercise.  Make clean the glass, then spray it with water that has just a few drops of liquid soap in information technology.  Peel the Wallpaper and "float" information technology into place.  And so y'all just take a credit card (or something like) and squeegee information technology into place.  Ta Da!

Even though I mis-measured the panes, centering the frosted squares worked for both of us.  HH can still see out and doesn't feel like information technology is too night.  I am happy considering you can't see the crap every bit y'all walk up to the front door.  Winning!
