Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

If you’ve got a bathroom window that looks out onto… your neighbor’s bathroom window (as so often seems to be the case in new housing developments with postage-stamp sized yards), you’re going to need to do something to give yourself a little privacy. Curtains are an option, but they block out sunlight. A more aesthetically pleasing alternative could be carved glass windows. You can get carved glass tailored to your tastes from companies that specialize in custom windows.

This picture is from Everett, WA based Covenant Art Glass. They do stained glass, textured glass, beveled glass, and other types of windows to suit their customers’ preferences. A carved glass window such as this one is created by sculpting into the glass with a high-pressure sandblaster. This removes the surface one thin layer at a time. Aside from the beauty of this type of window is the practical advantage: it lets in natural light while providing privacy. So, if it suits your fancy, go ahead and buy that house that’s right next to the neighbor’s. Just be prepared to employ some creativity in making it private.
