Simple Kitchen Makeover Continued

From a Boring Apartment Galley To a Classy and Inviting Kitchen Continued

I purchased two picture frames inlaid with a blonde wood, but frames come in many varieties so pick the style you like best.
Discard the cardboard or solid backing that comes with the frames (or give to your children for drawing on rather than your walls).
Also remove the plastic / glass protector, and it is to this protector that you will apply the window film (following the directions provided by the manufacturer) using a large, flat work surface.

I highly suggest that large, flat work area as it this greatly aids in applying the vinyl treatment to the protector. Most window film is applied using soapy water, so this part of the upgrade takes barely 10 minutes. Keep some rags handy to sop up the water.

You will want to add some small metal brackets to your empty frames before placing the protector back into its slot. I had some small L-shaped brackets hanging around from a previous project, so I used those, but feel free to use any other form of bracket you may have.

A safety tip - temporarily hang your empty frames onto the beams and adjust the beams to closely fit as you wish, but try to arrange the frames so that the frame isn't touching or even too close to your light source.
