I decided, after much thought, to frost my bathroom window. Thought, because I wanted a frosted duo pane window, but did not want the expense and miserylabor of changing out the window with a new one. Since the bathroom has a door, And the thermostat is in the bedroom, I don’t get a lot of draft coming from there.
So I grabbed a can of spray glass frosting, and bordered the glass some two inch painters tape and divided the glass using 1” painter’s tape , turned the exhaust fan on in the bathroom and Sprayed away.
It took 4 light coats for an even finish, but well worth it… My bathroom window faces the neighbors kitchen window, so I won’t be flashing them anymore while they are eating their Cheerios, and I have a bit more privacy. The frosted window allows the light to come through and keeps my private parts well hid.
Before fall I plan on making a storm window for the outside of the window.

In retrospect, now I wished I had just frosted the whole window solid, but it is easy to correct. A razor scraper will remove the frosting and allow me to do that.
I only party down with the best at:

We had a similar situation in our downstairs bathroom. I hated the curtains in there, but they were the only thing providing any privacy at all. I didn't know about spray paint frosting; might have used it if I had. Instead I got this plastic laminate stuff that just sticks to the glass without any glue. It has to be cut to fit. Now we've got a frosted window with a nice, not too fancy, arabesque pattern through it. It went up very fast, but probably cost more than your spray stuff. A tiny bonus is that the plastic layer is less conductive than glass, so it holds in a smidge more heat in winter.
What a great idea! I didn't know that they made frosted spray paint.
Pretty good post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed reading your blog posts.
