Today is the last day to sign up for your chance to win a $75 gift certificate to use at Wallpaper for Windows, so hurry over to this post to enter. In the meantime, here are some absolutely gorgeous spaces made more gorgeous through the use of leaded or decorative glass.

Some of these looks could easily be replicated by using designs from Wallpaper for Windows!

I don't know if I could live with the mint cabinets long-term, but I still think this kitchen is adorable!

Very cool, unique kitchen

Reminds me of the homes in Spain!

Wallpaper for Windows or other decorative glass treatments are ideal for the bath, where extra privacy is desired.

Announcing another great giveaway, a $75 gift certificate for Wallpaper for Windows

I think today's $75.00 gift card giveaway features a pretty unique product - Wallpaper for Windows. I'm sure you have a window where privacy, too much direct light, or cold is an issue.  It doesn't even have to be a window - it can be a shower door, a skylight, or just a mirror that you may want to decorate.  I definitely had an apartment or two in NYC with a view, ie. brick wall, I would have liked to change.

Here are just a few ideas for very cool looks you could achieve with  Wallpaper for Windows:

I love the leaded glass look.  I would use the Wallpaper for Window's  "Monterey Sun Stained Glass"  film above to create a look like these below:

via Apartment Therapy via Country Living

Wallpaper for Window's  "Allure Frosted" Privacy film could be used to create a look like the one in the eclectic bathroom below:

via Houzz 

Or use the Wallpaper for Window's  "Atlantis" stained glass window film (above) to replicate this look:

via Apartment Therapy

You could even add an antique, one of a kind feel to cabinet fronts and glass furniture doors!

via Houzz 

Sort of sheds a whole new light on window film, doesn't it?
More awesomeness about window film?  It's made in the USA, uses NO adhesives, but static cling instead.  It helps bring down energy costs by insulating your windows, and filters sunlight to help reduce furniture fading.

So, how do you enter for your chance to win a $75 gift certificate to Wallpaper for Windows?

Just leave a comment below or email me at ashley [at] decorologyblog [dot] com sharing how you would use window film in your home, or your favorite design. Make sure you leave your name and contact info!

Earn an extra entry by liking them on Facebook (optional). IMPORTANT: If you like them on facebook, leave a second comment letting me know.

The contest will close on February 15th at 12 AM EST.  I will announce the winner around 12 PM EST on Feb. 15th.

Announcing the winner of the set of Change of Art frames!

By a random draw, by Random.org, "The Cape on the Corner" won a set of 3 frames in her choice of brown, white, or black.  Congratulations!  PS: Check out the winner's cool blog "Cape on the Corner"

Thanks to all who entered this very popular giveaway!  If you didn't win, you should still check out Change of Art - the frames are eco-friendly, awesome, and AFFORDABLE!  I will also be announcing another great giveaway tomorrow, so stay tuned!

Seriously the best and easiest way to frame your art! And a giveaway!

CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. THANKS TO ALL WHO ENTERED!

For some reason, unless you have a bottomless bank account, framing is such a HASSLE. Hence why I still have so many prints still rolled up in tubes under my bed. Framing my art always ends up costing more than the art itself, and then if you try to buy the frame unassembled matting and backing and hanging makes you realize that maybe it's worth the money to have a professional do it!

However - I was just introduced to Change of Art - and wow am I impressed.  The frame is probably the nicest one in my home, it's eco-friendly, and made in the USA!

Here's the rundown: "Our EasyGallery® frames eliminate all the usual hassles of matting, framing and hanging. Prints slide in & out – no taping, no taking the frame apart, no fussing with the glass. And you can store a dozen (+) prints in back. Best of all, everything's changeable – in seconds!"
- Change of Art

Check out how easy it was for me to finally frame and hang a few tiny prints I had bought in Alaska back in 2012 when I ran a marathon.

Slip the art in the slot in the back of the frame.

 Put other prints for display later in the pocket behind the frame.

Use the GENIUS template and easy-peasy button and nail to plan the placement of the frame and tap in the nail.

Align the divot in the frame with the top of the button...

TADA! How amazing is that!

I felt so accomplished afterwards and barely did any work! 

Now, lucky for you guys, the awesome folks at Change of Art are offering one lucky reader a trio of Change of Art frames!

If you want to enter for a chance to win, leave a comment below (or email me) telling me what for or how you would use this genius product.  

The winner will get to choose from white, black, or brown medium-sized frames, and will be announced by random-draw on Wednesday, Feb. 6th.  

Good luck!
