Any good ideas on making a window frosted or privacy?
My house is very old 80-90 yrs. I cannot replace the window with a modern replacement without changing all of my windows which is a bunch due to historical society restrictions. The window is second floor but in a shower and privacy would be nice. I have already tried the stick on vinyl stuff from Home Depot with no luck.

- they sell it in a spray can too, it lasts awhile but eventually needs to be re-done. easy to apply. easy to remove.
- what about something like mirrored window tint? Although on the second floor that could be tough . . . is the shower big enough to somehow rig another shower curtain over just the window??
- I had the bright idea of spraying 2 of my bathroom panes with this a couple of years ago, unfortunately this has blistered and peeled (presumably because of the moisture).
Last year, I decided to remove it and respray but no matter what I tried, I couldn't get the left on pieces off. I had to scrap the junk! It was awful.
I replaced it with the window film ~~ it has worked nicely! The window film I purchased looks like stained glass and looks much better too!
- Are you talking about Artscape film? They have other stuff too but I've had success with the Artscape.
They have beautiful colors and patterns too. I have odd sized window and it works and looks beautiful. Everyone loves it. Trim to fit...$19ish.
I have one floral stained glass window and one bamboo stained glass window (all Artscape).
- You could acid etch the window or you could buy a translucent film and apply it to the window.
