diy easy inexpensive frosted glass windows

Here’s a quick and easy way DIY frosted glass windows tutorial. It’s the perfect fix for your entry door sidelights or any windows that are difficult to cover with curtains or window treatments.

When we bought our house, the two sidelight windows on either side of our front door had plain white pull-down shades that were getting tattered. Since the door doesn’t have another window near it, I didn’t want to block out the light completely. I bought some frosted glass spray paint for under $5, and painted the outside of the windows.

I cleaned the windows first and thoroughly dried them. I didn’t tape anything off or cover anything since the window frames on the outside are white, and any overspray didn’t show. I used the entire can of paint, because at the point I felt I had pretty good coverage, there was just a little bit left.



In case you’re wondering, I did this a couple of years ago, and it has held up extremely well. There is no porch or any kind of covering over this door, and this area is exposed to all kinds of weather. I haven’t touched it up at all, but it would be easy to do if needed.

Rust-Oleum Frosted Glass spray paint will work very well for this job, and it’s available everywhere.

When I first painted the sidelights, I checked that night to see if you would be able to see through the windows with the lights on inside. You can’t really make out anything except for the fact that there is a light on. I probably would not use this alone on a bathroom window with no other window covering, however.

In my opinion, these frosted glass windows are perfect for letting in a nice amount of light during the day, yet they do give some privacy.

A few tips if you decide to paint your windows: I recommend standing back from your work often to see if there are places where more coverage is needed. Also, if you haven’t spray-painted before, read the instructions on the can. You need to keep the can a proper distance from what you’re painting, and keep it moving to avoid drips and running paint.

Let me know if you try this tip for DIY frosted glass windows.

I thought of Maya Angelou when I watched the inaug I thought of Maya Angelou when I watched the inauguration. She was the poet at Bill Clinton's inauguration, if anyone remembers. This is the link to that reading youtube.com/watch?v=8ecWterxtq0 ("On the Pulse of Morning")  She lived not far from me, and when she died, I went to her estate sale. I regretted not going to see her speak while I had the chance and wanted to buy something that belonged to her. We were actually able to go into her house. People were picking through her dishes and rooms full of books, and there were paintings and scuptures she'd been gifted that were selling for thousands of dollars. Her bedroom was closed off, but it felt like we shouldn't be there.  For the few who don't know it, this is probably her most famous poem and my favorite:  Still I Rise  You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.  Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
’Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.  Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?  Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard
’Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard.  You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.  Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?  Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.  Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
