Add Privacy To Your Bathroom

Shortly after we got moved into our new fixer upper, I walked into our bathroom to take a quick shower and…..realized that if I could see out of my bathroom window and into the front yard, people could definitely see into the bathroom. That’s DEFINITELY now how that’s supposed to work. There were no blinds, no curtains, no frost window film, no etched glass…just a nice clean…very see through window.
Here’s a few things we learned during the frosted window film application process.
YOU DEFINITELY NEED TWO PEOPLE TO PUT ON THE FROSTED WINDOW FILM.
Really the only part where two people are definitely necessary is when you are peeling the backing off of the frosted window film. One person needs to be holding the film and one person needs to be spraying the application spray onto the film.
WORK SLOWLY TO AVOID FRUSTRATION.
Grab your patience pants for this one and work slowly when applying the frosted window film. Luckily the roll comes fairly large because you may or may not need to start over once (or even twice). Which leads me to my next point…
READ (AND FOLLOW) THE INSTRUCTIONS.
This seems obvious, I know. But when we first unpacked the frosted window film, I thought….how hard can this be? You just cut it down to size and stick it on the window. The instructions had a whole ‘nother way of applying the film and lots of helpful tips on how to get nice, straight edges and avoid bubbles under the frosted window film.
This is one tip that was seriously GENIUS and they mentioned in the instructions. You can add two pieces of scotch tape to the corners of the film and the backing to pull them apart easily.
It took us about 30-40 minutes to apply the frosted window film and after we were done… TA DA!

We used the frosted film on our garage windows. Now it's always clean unlike when we have the mini blinds all those years. Also lets lots of light in during the day.

That was the first window I did in our master bathroom water closet. But I did it alone. You can reposition it easily.
