Some background: we live in a little (800 sq. ft.) farmhouse in the city; it was built ~1900, and is pretty rustic nothing fancy.
The bathroom has one window that overlooks the back yard. Problem is the deck is under the bathroom window, so if you are standing on the deck you can look into the bathroom. This doesn't bother us but can make guests uncomfortable.
Bathroom side of the house has only the one window (with screen) that we can leave open. (The same side has two sets of french doors that we can't leave open for safety and kitty reasons.)
Does anybody have ideas for the window treatment for the bathroom? Since it's the only window on that side, I like to leave it open for air to circulate in the house and to help steam from the shower escape, but we also need privacy at night and for guests.
It had wooden shutters on the bottom half of the window and that seemed work, except they were always warped and never closed right, they are now broken in several places so I took them down. Curtains would blow open and offer privacy only if the window is closed. Blinds would block all the light from the window (and lots of breeze) when closed.
Please help me take down the pillow case I have tacked to the window right now!
Any suggestions? What window treatment do you have on your bathroom window?
