I have a love hate relationship with transparent windows. I adore the new boho ones, but am distressed because I don't know how to make them look like something is outside without overlay issues. The wallpaper coming through is tacky and the rounded top is a new challenge for me. How do y'all use your transparent windows?

I'd love it if they offered the option of a window that's transparent AND one with a scene outside.

So true, the bakery tiles in the depot usually work however then there is that rounded top that I makes it difficult.... i'm trying to figure it out.

ok here's what i came up with for sky, it is better than seeing wallpaper through the window, yet so much more expensive than just buying another window LOL!:

2 round stones on top part
1 bakery tile
from the depot


here are some other items for creating ground cover, mosses and leaf piles and paths mostly in furniture store i think (they underlay these windows)
with some of these, you have to move the bakery tile just slightly upwards, in order for the leafy ground cover to overlay the blue bakery tile

also possibly some cherry blossom petals might work
and lots of the plants, like zoo plants, outback plants and ocean plants, underlay the window and could be used as ground cover

puddles work if they are small enough:
small mud puddle
styx water puddle (looks like a little pond, could be used for darker sky too)
lawn puddle 1 PP2019
blood puddles
gross water puddles 1, 2
small autumn puddle
etc.

WOW! see i had been using the bakery blue wall tiles, which is why I said that rounded top poses a new challenge to me, but i NEVER considered using moss/grass on it too! thanks!!!

You're welcome! :hug:

I would have loved these windows even more if they were more transparent.
