Painted Window Patterns

Can you remember back in your childhood to when your mom and dad took you out to look at the lovely designs people had painted on the windows of stores and restaurants? Did you ever wonder how they were able to create something that large and lovely? You may be surprised to learn that it's possible for you to paint your own Christmas window designs, even if you don't consider yourself talented.

Tape the drawing you've made onto the inside of the window, facing out. Outside of your house near the window where the design is, lay down newspapers or drop cloths to protect the surfaces under where you'll be painting. You can use tempera paints, window chalks, or special spray paints to paint the design on the outside of your window. Using tempera paint and a brush is probably the easiest way to achieve the look you want.

Roller shades modernize furnishings by creating a clean line modern or classic look in rooms. They are available in many colors, patterns, or in custom fabrics, and fit many size windows and doors. Window shades can be mounted to roll either up or down as desired. They can stand-alone or be used with decorative valances on top and at the sides.
