I think roman shades would look great in your bathroom windows. They are a nice alternative to blinds because you can find fabric with color and pattern. Here is an example. Good luck!

The minute I saw your picture, I went looking for this adorable window treatment for your vintage home (I hate to say vintage, as I was born in the 40’s) YIKES.

Anyway, I love, love this.

You have a wonderful deep set window and many window treatments will look great.
What do you like?

Depends on how much steam or moisture you get cloth or fabric may not be a good idea.Try a composite or pvc.

We used a tension rod and only covered half the window with a semi sheer fabric. Even with curtains closed, we can still enjoy the greenery and morning sunshine and from the outside, only the top of our heads can be seen.

And this is also a nice idea:

If you don't want to use curtains or blinds you can spray "glass frosting" on the lower two window panes to obscure the glass but still let in the light. You can buy this at Home Depot for about $5. I used it on my clear shower doors about 3 years ago and it has held up great.
The also have "mirror coatings" that I used on some vases.
The good thing is that it is an easy fix and doesn't cost alot of money. If you decide that you want textiles later it buys you time.

I agree with @Judy M, bathroom shutters would look great! Or even roman shades would look good. Maybe roman shades with a nice print like the one attached. http://www.kohls.com has a wide variety of affordable curtains.

Hi ruburr, Congrats on your bathroom renovation ! Your two windows have a very deep recess, so you have plenty of room to install cordless honeycomb cellular shades for a very clean and sleek look --

I like the thought of hanging a stained glass window panel

love the look of crisp white shutters and the different amounts of light that can gently filter into the room. can stack off to the sides of those deep window recesses when not needed

Shutters. Check Costco.

Plantation Shutters! Check out Hunter Douglas Newstyle Plantation Shutters. Some of the best in the business.

I really like carolins patterned sheer! I also like the shutter option as well.
Either way, an adjustable / filtered approach is my favorite. I have different combinations in a few rooms & adjust them at different times of day & moods as well.

BTW....I do love a vintage 40's home! Every decade had their unique, cool design & architectural details.

Love to see more! :0)
