Designer Window Film and Preserving the Harvest

I just love this pattern and at different
 times of the day the colors change.

The pebbles have different textures. 

We have two metal doors that have half circle windows in them. I have always wanted them covered, but there was no way for them to have blinds or curtains. I enjoy the light that they give until the moon is full or the sun is shining directly through them. 

I finally found what I needed to maintain some indirect lighting and give us the privacy that we wanted. The product is called Designer Window Films. I have known about this product for a long time, but the patterns were usually made for large windows, and it just wouldn't look good. The window areas on my doors are very small so I needed a very small pattern.

I came across a pattern called Pebble. Not only was the pattern small enough it wasn't some crazy bold color that clashed with my decor. I showed Number One Husband my idea for the windows, and he liked it. He also really liked how easy the installation was. The film clings to the window with a little water. The window film is removable and reusable. 

Early afternoon. The blue sky, gray and browns from the beams outside are just beautiful.

The pebbles take on the natural colors from outside.

This is the view from outside. Boy, I need to wash my door.

Early evening

It has a cool almost frosted look to it at night.

The other window will have the sky, trees and mountain colors coming through. We ran out of time and couldn't finish the job. The drill also needed to be recharged. We are very pleased with the results. I'm thinking about using some window film in our bedroom. They make some beautiful patterns; however, our mountain views are hard to beat, and we just put up new insulating blinds.

I was finishing up canning some cranberry jam at the same time the window film was being installed. Number One Husband had to run to the post office before it closed and the Sabbath was starting soon. We had a little chaos going on, but we prevailed. 

I started a batch of homemade 2024 Red Red Wine. I have it fermenting
in a cool dark spot.

When we picked up some more cranberries from Walmart, I noticed that the packages on the bottom were half the size and the same price. I don't know when this Super Inflation and Shrinkflation will ever end. 

I did find about 15 rotisserie chickens marked down to $2.02 a piece. I bought five or 16 pounds of whole cooked chickens for $10.10. What a deal. They had apparently put them in the wrong bags and couldn't change them out. Lemon Pepper was regular and regular was lemon pepper. I wish I had purchased a few more. I picked out the heaviest birds. It was well worth it. They are so moist and tender. I froze the excess. So far, we have had chicken salad sandwiches and chicken, fries and salads twice. Yum!

Shalom,
