Looking for a way to add privacy to your sidelights, but don't want to spend a ton of money? BUT, you still want it to look fantastic? Well, I have a solution for you that is super easy, and super gorgeous! I used a window film and went a step further by adding products used to when making stain glass windows to give the look and illusion of real stain glass. This is a super easy home improvement idea! Add window tint to your front door sidelights will make a drastic difference in the look of your entryway.

Yay ! I love your wonderful help...Especially during these difficult days. I've wondered about these products. You are great. Thank you. 👏 🌷 Love this project. The fan btw, looks wonderful too. Good choice and execution of both. 👌

@JenniferDecorates 4 года назад

Well, thank you for making my day! I appreciate that more than you know! Have a wonderful evening, and stay safe and healthy!

@donnaallgaier-lamberti3933 4 года назад

I ADORE how you share "lower cost" ways to do projects on your channel. This is so practical and appreciated!

@JenniferDecorates 4 года назад

You are so welcome!

@amya9597 4 года назад

The sidelights turned out beautifully! I also like you you and your husband compromised on the fan, it looks great!

@JenniferDecorates 4 года назад

Thanks so much! 😊

@artsyweirdo 4 года назад

I loved this! I’m always brainstorming how to get natural light through windows while still maintaining privacy.

@JenniferDecorates 4 года назад

Misty Waters thank you. I do love how it turned out and that I didn’t spend a ton of money! 😊

@angieslaughter3204 4 года назад

I have been needing to do this for years! People can see me through our sidelights sitting in my pj's at the kitchen counter. Thank you for this great tutorial.

@JenniferDecorates 4 года назад

You can do it!

@granniefrannie8358 4 года назад

WOW! I love that idea. I have a sidelight as well and I may just look into doing this as well. Love the ceiling fan transformation as well.

@JenniferDecorates 4 года назад

Thank you so much!

@Norma-j6e Месяц назад

Jennifer what a beautiful and inexpensive project. Love it.

@LivNtheBESTLife 4 года назад

That is the neatest thing I’ve ever seen. I usually use “frost” spray paint for windows. Glad your doing well!

@JenniferDecorates 4 года назад

Thanks 👍

@silviathomas3224 4 года назад

That is brillant adding the finishing leadlight touches! I have used privacy frost to my bathroom windows and bought a leadlight look film also. I live in an old Queenslander and bought the leadlight film to go on glass above a door. Your video came at just the right time. Thanks.

@JenniferDecorates 4 года назад

Yeah! Have a great week!

@cherylannjohnson8801 4 года назад

@pattiehalverstadt8329 4 года назад

I love this window covering idea. Years ago I used wax paper to cover my exposed windows. Recently we used this new product on a door in our garage. There are many styles at Lowe’s and easy to apply and let’s light in without worry.

@JenniferDecorates 4 года назад

You are so right! They are great!

@jeanithburdine5544 4 года назад

This looks so pretty. You are so smart to figure the leading out. Made your entrance look complete!

@lorifalwell197 4 года назад

How perfect!! I love your creative mind, I love projects like that! I have been so busy with tackling projects that I honestly have not been bored. One thing I did was, I painted my refrigerator, the first Monday of the shutdown I went to lowes early and bought a new stove and microwave, mine were done, the oven wouldn't heat and they were bisque color. My refrigerator is a french door and it has an ice maker that works like an ice machine and we have had zero problems with it so I just couldn't justify buying a new refrigerator. I had painted my refrigerator and freezer that's in our garage because they just looked awful and I repainted the garage and thought what the hay I have nothing to loose. I was alittle more hesitant about the refrigerator in my kitchen but went ahead and painted it black matte and sprayed the handles with a dark metallic paint that's a new color from krylon.

@judyberends4586 4 года назад

This is exactly what I needed for my front door. Thank you so much. You are an answer to my problem. Enjoyed your video so much.😇

@JenniferDecorates 4 года назад

@kimkay8635 4 года назад

Thank you for posting this video! I’m moving into a new house next month and I also felt the sidelights were to open. I will like the privacy with the clings. I also wanted to tell you how much I enjoy watching your videos! 😊

@JenniferDecorates 4 года назад

Well, thank you so much!

@suepoch3931 4 года назад

@JenniferDecorates 4 года назад

Well, thank you so so much!! You are too kind!

@cindyczornohus1834 4 года назад

Oh I love this idea! At my previous home I used those little side panel sheers on little rods for privacy. I would have switched to your idea in a heartbeat! Beautiful job on the ceiling fan. You took something generally not very attractive and utilitarian and made it so lovely for your space.❤️ Thanks so much for the inspiration!

@JenniferDecorates 4 года назад

Well, thank you so much for watching! Have a great evening.

@dcsalerno 4 года назад

Great solution to both issues! Do a Q&A....ask for questions on Instagram...we’d all love getting to know you and your family better😀

@marilynweist6307 4 года назад

Great idea for the sidelights. We have them in our foyer and I have often wondered how to make them more"private". They turned out awesome. Your bedroom ceiling fan looks so nice. Again another enjoyable video. Stay safe and well. God bless!

@justinw7323 2 года назад

I just did this method. I live in a crowded street. So I don't have to deal with seeing construction workers constantly. It's nice. For my bedroom as well as the living room.

@lindagear9014 4 года назад

The extra touches on the windows made a real difference, good idea. Regarding the micro fibre cloths , they are used a lot in the UK and the instructions that come with them state they can be used wet or dry but to only use water to wet them, they state that chemicals block the micro fibres and they then aren't as efficient ( it's also cheaper : ) bonus ) for windows I tend to use one wet and one dry to buff but if the glass isn't very dirty just the wet one is fine. No smears, I love them.

@JenniferDecorates 4 года назад

Well, good night!! I didn't know that! Thank you for teaching me! have a great day.

@cathyoneill9011 Год назад

Wow that fan!

@hyperchord 3 года назад

Wow! Looks great! I would be standing there for hours making sure the vinyl was laid in perfectly, but it looks so easy!

@JenniferDecorates 3 года назад

It really was! You can do it!!

@lindahensley1646 4 года назад

Beautiful sidelights, makes me want to do mine. Then I would be able to open my blinds.

@JenniferDecorates 4 года назад

Go for it!!

@yarlettegebarowski5995 4 года назад

That turned out great. I have a solid front door and leaded glass side windows. You did a wonderful job on this. I wouldn’t have known it wasn’t real if you had not showed the before window. You always give us great do it yourself projects. Thanks Jennifer.

@JenniferDecorates 4 года назад

Aw thank you so much Yarlette!

@krickette5569 3 года назад

I used that window cling on my bathroom window. It's a large (for a bathroom) window and I just felt like I had no privacy. I love how it looks now. Oh! and I LOVE what you did to your ceiling fan !

@JenniferDecorates 3 года назад

I'm so glad that worked for you! And thank you!

@milkshake123abc 4 года назад

Good solution.

@dianastokes740 4 года назад

Love the side light idea. I have the same situation, maybe I'll do this too. Also, isn't it great when our husband is right once in a while. After all that rarely ever happens. Like how you changed it. Have you ever shown us your kitchen? I am sure it's fabulous.

@JenniferDecorates 4 года назад

Our kitchen has not hit the renovation mode yet. I'm afraid you would not be too impressed. But, it get the job done!

@ozbuncandlesupply 4 года назад

@JenniferDecorates 4 года назад

@texasstardust6010 Год назад

...Although this is an older Video...I am ALWAYS " Re- doing " Ceiling Fans....it elevates the look of them to blend in with the Aesthetics in ones home . I purchased a ceiling fan at a Garage sale, for 10 $, ..it was a good fan, but ugly finishes. I knew with paint, some time invested that it would look great in my kitchen, (even though I rent my residence, there was a hard wired light in there, which made having the Fan put up easy) . It looks great, it was process,...so , no... I do not think you are ' crazy ",...I would do the same thing! ( And I have been repainting and redoing things for years.. over 30 +... I'm over 60,... who knew it would turn into a ' business ",... )

@4merroad4man25 2 года назад

Thank you for sharing the how to for this project. I love it!

@sheilaperez9086 4 года назад

As always, I enjoy your decorating tips. I added a similar film to our sidelights several years ago for the same reason. I recently asked my husband about painting our ceiling fans, how you did your fan looks perfect! I will definitely try this on my bedroom fan. In South Texas, ceiling fans are a must😉

@JenniferDecorates 4 года назад

Hello there, Well, I added Venetian plaster all over the fan to give it texture, Then I painted it gold and in some spots brown. Next, I chalk painted over it, and used a wet rag to rug some of the chalk paint off in order to see the other paint color come through. The last think I did was add a coat of Polyacrylic. It wasn't hard, just time consuming. But to me, it was worth it.

@shirleyjackson77 4 года назад

Would you give me some ideals of what I can use for window coverings besides blinds please thanks Shirley from Birmingham Al.

@lindacurtis589 4 года назад

Your sidelights look so nice Jennifer! I am going to use this in my master bath window that faces our street. I need to update my old ceiling fans which are 18 years old. Last week I was wondering if I could paint them and you gave me that answer! Thank you!

@JenniferDecorates 4 года назад

You should!

@sandraleblanc9496 3 года назад

Backsplash application would be a great view. Tile , peel n stick, or painting it

@terrychancellor4593 3 года назад

Trust me, those faux lead strips stick and last!! I used them on the front of my glass kitchen cabinets over 20 years ago and even with cleaning they last!! Yes, you need to have the liquid faux lead to fill in the connection gaps and gives it an authentic look. Very safe to use, no real lead. My Mom even had me do her cabinets after she saw mine!! I imagine they still exist unless the new owners scraped them off. Definitely want to get these clings!

@JenniferDecorates 3 года назад

Oh good to hear! Yes, mine has lasted many months- even through cleaning! I've been very happy with them!

@joannepittman4411 3 года назад

@JenniferDecorates 4 года назад

Thank you. I will have to look into that. :)

@jizeldagalvao3126 3 года назад

Fantastic!! I wonder if the film accepts different paints so we could have a COLORFUL stained glass!

@waleskanieves6095 4 года назад

This gives me an idea to fix my problem right now. My door topper(I think thats what they call it) the glass broke when my husband was installing our new door, n I can't find that piece of glass nowhere. It was square n had texture like frosted, we bought it at Home Depot n now they don't have it. So I being looking for something since yesterday. I wroted diy for a door topper n you were the first video it showed up! Thank you so much! btw your fan looks so beautiful!

@JenniferDecorates 4 года назад

Oh yay! I hope that works well for you!

@hwm9 3 года назад

Can people still see through at night when you have the lights on inside of the house?

@essentialseastar7853 2 года назад

Ok righty then 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Finally… I strolled through the comments to see if anyone else was gonna ask about the nighttime privacy and he you are. My front door has an arched window that is directed into the kitchen and living room area. I like the idea of the covering but still a lil concerned about someone being able to see me in my t shirt and drawers late night snacking in the kitchen. Let me know if its night proof thanks

I will look forward to doing it in my next house 😁. I also love what you did with the ceiling fan. I want to take mine down but im afraid i wouldnt know how to put it back lol. So a video on how you did that treatment and how you install one would be great. Just a suggestion. Anyway im so glad i found your channel and im a new subscriber today!! 🤗

What about at night? The issue we’re finding with windows film is that at night it’s darker outside than inside and ppl can still see inside. Do you have this issue with this window film?

@JenniferDecorates 4 года назад

You cannot see inside even at night with the lights on inside the house:)

@dawntotevski8392 2 года назад

Awesome! Needed this idea for a client's 19th century home where shutters and shades just didn't fit the style and time period. I have a good idea for a topic: drapes come 84" and 95" standard. Most homes have crown molding; therefore, the rod can only go up to about 90-92" from floor. Tailoring is expensive and annoying. Any tips to shorten drapes without sewing?
