Cover up textured glass window?
The previous owners had a textured double glazed window in the bathroom. It’s got a butterfly pattern all over it. It’s over 20 years old now and definitely had its day. I can’t afford to replace the window so I’m looking for a way to cover them so it looks more like regular frosted glass (without being able to see the butterfly pattern).
any ideas??

Hello. I’m not too sure how this window looks without a posted pictures, could you frost the whole piece of glass with an etching cream or is it a possibility to apply a window film over the glass to conceal it.
Try some other patterned privacy film over the butterfly pattern like one of these: window film
Believe it or not, you can frost glass with a special type of spray paint. Rust-Oleum manufacturers a popular paint for this.
Or you could go with a window film.
The other thing I can think of would be to etch the glass but that is permanent.
I found a couple of ideas for you hope they help.

I think if you try to frost the glass with a spray you will still be able to see the pattern because you said it was textured. Is it anything you could try to remove with a razor blade? How exactly is the window textured? Part of the glass or was it applied? Hard to tell without seeing it. I think that a different textured privacy window film would work the best. You would still see the butterfly pattern on the outside of the window but maybe not so much on the inside.
attach lace with corn starch to the window for a different look
Translucent Contact paper. Frost spray paint.
Hi! I would try window film over it to disguise the pattern you dislike. Good luck and stay safe!
The window film you would need will have to block the pattern completely, it would be very difficult to fill in the butterflies with some kind of application.
Try a window cling film. I bought Rabbitgoo brand off Amazon. It is easy to apply and should do the trick. Here's the one I purchased:

You don't have to replace the window. You can just replace the glass. There's a removable molding on the inside you can usually pop or pry off to replace the glass.
The spray “frost” will not last in a bathroom, I found out the hard way.
If you can’t get the glass out, then yes, a film will work.
