Vern, I had the same issue in my bath. I wanted to see out the window and I wanted the light, but I didn't want anyone seeing in past a certain level. I used Gallery Glass from Michaels to solve my problem. I did my own design but you can buy designs and patterns. I laid the tape pre-made (the black lines) and cut it with a little exacto knife. Then I dotted "solder joints" on the seams where the tape met (you don't cross one piece with another). Once that was done, it was easy to paint the window in. The clear parts are done with something that goes on white and looks and smells like Elmer's glue. You just make lots of little circles with the tip of the bottle. The finished look is quite attractive. Here is what I did. It blocks a couple of inches on the bottom (all I needed) and leaves the center clear for me to look out at the yard and the trees: It doesn't need a window treatment now, so I don't have to launder one. Plus I enjoy looking at it every time I'm in there. It will last for years (I know a gal who has one that's ten years old and still just fine) but if I ever tired of it I could scrape it off with a razor blade. My son liked it so much he had me do a front door sidelight for him. He wanted his all opaque. It lets in light, but people can't look in and see your face. You can see his blue porch rail through the window toward the bottom, to give you an idea of how much view it obscures (though I suppose you could make it thicker if you wanted): As you can see, with this technique you can decide which areas of the window to "frost" and which (if any) to leave clear. Both my son and I are very happy with our Gallery Glass windows. They took me a little time to do but it was worth it. If nobody in your family wants to try that, they also make a window film similar to what you used that mimics stained glass. I think it's a lot more pleasant than the frosted film, but that's just my preference. Anyway, just a thought for you of a different option.

It really depends on what you are looking to accomplish in a treatment. Blinds are great if you want something that's going to be down most of the time and tilted open and closed. Shades are great if you don't need something to tilt open and close and just want filtered light and if you want visibility out, you raise the shade up. I would stick with a blind or shade and not do sheers because of the nice craftsman style trim work. Sheers will hide that beautiful trim work.

Need window treatments that don’t require a lot of maintenance like preferably no dusting LOL. Also can’t cover radiator. Do i do just black out curtains or shades? Need something inexpensive but nice. Thanks!

Very pretty room--I love the French vibe. Yes, there are designers and companies who sometimes only do window treatments as a specialty. I am sure that you can find a company in your area to do them for you. They may be able to do an "inside mount" if there is room, so that there would be no drilling holes in your wall or ceiling as you mentioned. They will be able to help you with the style, fabric, hardware, etc. Good luck--it will be gorgeous.
