We have just bought a newly built house which we fell in love with because it is an unapologetically (some might say gawd-ugly) modern lump in an otherwise fairly staid suburban road. Its all angles and glass, and I like to think its what Frank Llyod Wright would have built, if he were working to a budget in a tight infill plot in suburbia.. It has huge floor to ceiling (UPVC) glass windows in many of the rooms. This is great in many places, but two of the rooms look out over the road and are easily visable from the road to those walking past.Especially a problem in the winter with lights on inside.I want to use the downstairs room as a playroon, and get a bit paranoid about the potential for inappropraite observation of my DDs pottering round, and the upstairs one as a bedroom for DD3 when she arrives.. At the moment we have venetian blinds and it looks like a dental surgery. I really fancy ditching the blinds and trying stained glass effect with a contemporary design, to the lower half of the windows, and then fairly plain curtains over for night time. Anyone ever tried the stained glass effect film? Does this sound like the worlds naffest idea or could it work? I will try and link to the design I like..BWM
