PIP: Before & After Window Film

[rainorshine]

I like it. Is the design clear? Or could it be used in a bathroom?

[Bonita]

Is this a bathroom? If so, I like it - I much prefer the window film over those blinds! We did something similar with just frosted film (no design) to the window in the garage in our previous house.

I don't think it's odd for a bedroom, I think I would have to see the family room before I could say yay or nay on that one.

I think it is good to have that in your DD's bedroom, it definitely will be much cleaner than blinds. If she needs a way to block out light you could always use a rollershade - those can be fairly easy to clean depending on what kind you get

Love it. I love my window film too, for the same reason: it's so easy to wipe clean. I hate cleaning blinds!
I have the plain frosted kind. People think it's frosted glass- they can't even tell it's film unless they really look closely.

I think they are nice for a bedroom! It is cute. Sorry to hear about your daughters allergy. Mine has a bunch too (food, dust, cats, pollens, etc). Do you have allergy barriers on her pillows/mattress too? They made a big difference for me with my dust allergy and DD has them on her bed too. Worth the investment!

I think it looks great. I've considered putting window film on my bathroom windows before and got some samples just haven't had the extra money to go do it.

Bluesky, do you have a link to the film you used? I sent your picture to my sister and we love it as an option for her house.

@juno and demandypants yes, I have the pillow and mattress barriers. I have gone down a long list of precautionary measures.

I'm still trying to figure out if there's anything else I can improve. We have forced air heating and I change the filters VERY often now.. but I'm wondering about the ducts? My DH vacuumed the areas reachable from the vents but that's not very much and I am wondering if I should get one of those companies to come out and clean them. I've read it's all a fraudulent thing.. but it seems like cleaning them couldn't hurt? I don't know. I will keep researching

We've had our ducts done (not in this house although I'm sure it's needed b/c EW mice) ... I think the parts of it that are fraudulent is UV sanitation and that stuff they spray in them.  Having someone brush out/vacuum the ducts certainly would go a long way to reduce the dust.  We went from having to change the furnace filter monthly to barely needing to change them every 3 months.  

This is the link that finally convinced us to have it done: www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/airduct.html

The quality of this brand is excellent!!!! If you type in Artscape window film on Home Depot.com or amazon, you can see other design options.  

Thanks!  I wonder if I could find a smaller piece cheaper.  We just need it for one tiny window on her backdoor that doesn't have any covering on it!

They have this smaller one (exact same pattern) for $22.  I think it's the smallest I've seen in this brand

We really need to do this in our garage. It makes me nuts that people can see if we're home or not FROM THE STREET because of our clear garage door window panes.

I have mirrored film on my garage windows. Because my studio is set up out there.
