Quick Project

So I truely had a QUICK project to do last night! When we moved in, our front door had a really ugly curtain on it that came down almost immediately. It was stained yellowish, b/c the woman who lived here smoked, so I wanted it GONE! Unfortunately, no curtain and a big window on the front door meant no running down in the morning to grab something from the kitchen, without all of the kids in the neighborhood walking by, noticing that I didn't take the time to grab a robe!

So, the plan was to cut our house address out of contact paper using my Cricut (coolest thing EVER, btw!). I experimented with adding the word WELCOME above it, but Jeff said it looked too much like a business instead of a home if we did that. I also cut some little swirlly things to put in all of the corners. Finally, I taped off the beveled glass edges all around the door.

Next, I painted Window Etching Cream onto the glass. The label on this stuff scares the crap out of people! For instance, if you get it on your skin, it will continue to "burn away flesh for the 15 minute activation period". Hmmmm, perhaps I should be wearing gloves...

Completely coated, just waiting for the time to pass until I can wipe it off...

OK, so it's the back of the door, but you get the point! No more passers-by seeing into our front hallway :-)
