Though we have twelve, large-ish, windows in our home I often feel like one of the mole people. And why? Well, we either have very close neighbors...or buildings...overlooking us...and, unless the blinds are down, I feel like a goldfish in a bowl. Which is why I'm intrigued by British designer Emma Jeffs' adhesive window film (in six designs which mimic the look of etched glass).

A roll of film...some water...a window...and, bingo, privacy and light...summer is looking a lot brighter already.
