Using Clear Contact Paper As Privacy Film

I always feel like.....somebody's watching me....




We live in a heavily populated suburb. This means I have the favorable amenities of city life, but I also have to deal with being able to reach out and touch my next door neighbors' windows from the comfort of my own home, should I feel so inclined. That is certainly not cool with me.

Since I can't exactly move my house or the neighbors', I've decided I can do the next best thing and opt for privacy film on the windows with the most exposure. Immediately after moving in, I did put privacy film on the windows of my front and side entry doors. I just found it really weird that anyone standing on my porch could get a full view to the interior of my house. Recently, we decided to do the same thing on the dining room windows. I hardly ever raise the blinds in there because I would be staring directly into the neighbor's dining room. And because those windows get the best sunlight (and I wanted to acquire a Fiddle Leaf Fig tree more on that later), I figured something drastic needed to be done. Enter privacy film....

Or, better yet, my more affordable option for privacy film. 

Happy Turkey Day

A Case of the Randoms: The Hunger Games

This is why The Hunger Games will forever have a place in my heart.

Enough said.

Reading Now: Divergent

My book club is currently reading Divergent by Veronica Roth, and I must say it's pretty good.  We chose it because we absolutely loved the Hunger Games trilogy and wanted something along the same lines.  This book is definitely living up to the whole post-apocalyptic, young adult thing we were after, so I'm excited about it.  I've already read up to our first discussion point and can't wait to dive in a little deeper, but I'll be a good book club member and await our first group discussion.  So far, I would recommend it.

 

By the way, I'm finishing American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld to bide my time.
