I can't believe it's NOT stained glass! {Part 1}

I am finally getting around to tackling a project I have had in mind for well over a year!

The upstairs hall window with a less-than desirable view.

Here's the hall window that looks onto the neighbor's wall and overlooks the back half of the neighborhood when you approach from the master bedroom.  Not very attractive.  I've been thinking that I could appreciate a bit more privacy.

I found this design (right picture) on the cover of a book I picked up at Hobby Lobby called, "Creations on Glass."  It's by the same woman who wrote "The Ultimate Guide To Glass Decorating," and while the techniques are exactly the same in both books, the cover pictures were different (which is why I now own both.)  Blue doesn't exactly match the house's color theme, so I scanned the picture and digitally changed the flowers to red (left picture).

                              (left) Digitally changed flowers to red. (right) Original picture.

Once the colors were right, I overlayed the design with the photo of my own window so I could have a better visualization.

It seemed a bit cluttered having the same pattern right next to each other, so I tweaked it a bit in my photo editing software.  I wound up with 6 different designs, but Option #5 was my favorite...

Option #5

SO HERE WE GO!!!
