The best home upgrades are the ones that look like they’ve been there all along – not always easy if you have a taste for decorating with vintage. And windows are usually the dead giveaway. Those hardwood floors might be original, but those beautifully brittle, poorly sealed panes were probably tossed a long time ago.
I just found a $25 renter-friendly solution that restores some of that lost charm and is convincing enough to make an all-new build look like it was born in another century. Fittingly, it comes from DIY-savvy Chris and Julia Marcum of Chris Loves Julia. Their new WallPops collaboration includes a repositionable peel-and-stick window film in a diamond grid that gives basically any glass – windows, closet doors, kitchen cabinets – an enviable Tudor, Gothic Revival sort of pedigree.
