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.

TO MAKE INSTALLATION
OF THE SELF-STICK
WINDOW FILM A
BREEZE, WE USED
MASKING TAPE
AS A GUIDE AND
PURCHASED AN
APPLICATION KIT
THAT INCLUDES A
SQUEEGEE, TRIM TOOL,
LINT-FREE CLOTH,
AND APPLICATION
SOLUTION.

TO ACHIEVE
A COHESIVE
TRANSITION FROM
DOOR TO FLOOR, WE
COLOR-MATCHED
THE PAINTED MAT TO
THE YELLOW DOOR.
