1. A stained-glass window decal that's not only great for privacy, but for having constant rainbows and positive energy in your home. When the sun hits your window, the entire room will make you smile.
Promising review: "My kitchen window is on the sidewalk near the community mailboxes. Lots of people walking by. I loathe mini blinds which collect dust and grease.
Especially since the stove is next to the window. Curtains are better, but still collect cooking smells and grease particles. I installed this in about 10 minutes.
It lets in light, but hides me from nosy people." — Gayle Smith Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 11 roll sizes).
2. A set of floating bookshelves if you want your books to work double duty as both relaxing entertainment and decor. Just imagine a color-coded book wall in your home! Each shelf holds up to 15 pounds, and reviewers recommend putting your largest, heaviest books at the bottom of each shelf for more support.
Promising reviews: "These are so much fun! We ordered the small size, which fits standard hardback books (approximately five to seven hardbacks in my experience). They're a great way to add some extra storage to our very small home , and we've placed them in our hallway so people ask us about them all the time. I'd highly recommend!" — LaBuenaVidaMere "I bought two of these in 2010 and in the last 10 years I've used them in three different apartments.
I just put them up in apartment number three and was once again blown away .
