THREE’S COMPANY Grouping flower pots of various sizes, above, is an inexpensive

and versatile outdoor design solution that can be changed with seasonal plantings

throughout the year. At this entry, the grouping also helps visually balance the plaque

on the opposite side of the door. For privacy at the glass door and to filter natural light

without blocking it entirely, use self-stick window film, which is easy to install and

easy on your budget. Rather than apply film to the entire window, consider modest

design elements like our border and horizontal divide. To ensure adhesion, clean the

glass thoroughly and follow manufacturer instructions. While not required, a rotary

cutter, straightedge, and cutting mat helped us make quick and precise cuts.
