Love the window film concept. Are there any US-based companies that manufacture these? Anything I've found so far is in Europe.

I love those darn pens, but it looks like the store (called Kiss) is Japanese only? I'm too chicken to go through online checkout all in Japanese characters. Anyway, here's the store description from the site: "The Kiss is total life style shop to making a happy and agreeable your life style." Exactly.

Different designs, but similar idea :)

...also Bed Bath & Beyond stocks a range of decorative window film. But the designs are significantly more tame and conventional, not nearly as graphic or pop. But one of their options is a graphic that mimics the look and subtle veining of rice paper.

thx payslee for the window screen link
I need one of those, and I'd never make it through one of those wacky catalogues to find it . . .

my plan is to split it down the middle for the dogs to jump through...

glad I could help, guido!

I felt kinda silly posting something on this site from the harriet carter catalog. They sometimes have good ideas in theory but unfortunately the quality usually isn't there.
