Sneek Peek? Windows Around the Bath....

New home great bath great view, but for WHOM?????




This is the Master Bath under construction..... Ok, West facing,
Neighbors, Fence, but there is a privacy issue.....
What do we do about window treatments????????
There are 8 small windows and a long one.  All of them have beautiful deep insets like crown moulding..... Cover it all up??? (if we did an inside mount of fabric inside those smaller windows it would have looked like eight Hankies hanging around the tub.) I don't think so. NO.

Soooo... We Etched the windows and WOW...... Knew immediately we made the right choice........ 
The Light combined with the privacy was perfect.

The lines and the center pyramid shaped glass perfectly complimented the Master Bath.....


Even on the longer window.....



There is a diamond pattern in the tile in the bathroom so we decided to emulate that...... What we didn't expect was that with the Western exposure the light would stream in at the end of the day in lines and the center Pyramid shaped pieces of glass would act as prisms.


I love how this turned out.....So did the builder. His reaction was WOW too!   This was before move in......I think Etching is something most designers don't consider and I hadn't done it before,  but I am doing more investigating......Look for more in upcoming posts.......Etching was done by Dauphin Sales and Art Glass Houston.......They also do fabulous mirrors........Thanks to my client
who went with the idea and let me post this..xo
