Less is More

Want to know what else happened this past weekend? 

Just say yes. 

Appease me here people. 

Well, Jonathan was kind enough to install a new window for us!! He actually installed five windows this weekend, but we are going to focus on one for this post. 

Do you remember the horrible bathroom window? 

That's what it looked like when we first bought the house. We then, stripped it down and were left with this. Notice the wonderful  peel-and-stick window frosting. I tried to peel it off, hoping that we could salvage the window, but it didn't come off evenly and left a horrible residue in its place. So, the window had to go.

We waited so patiently for our replacement window to come in. We couldn't wait to get rid of the last thing in the bathroom that was old. With the rest of the room looking nice and spiffy, the window was just putting a damper on the whole updated-theme we had going on. Basically, it stuck out like a sore thumb.

Enter our new, energy-star-rated, replacement window. Notice the frosting on this one looking a bit nicer; more even and professional.

Once the window came in, Jonathan took out the old window...

(A bit of a comparison. I will take the white one please!)

and in went the new window! Definitely blends in a bit better. No more sore thumb. Our appendages are feeling much better.

Oh and just for an even better comparison of the windows, well actually the whole bathroom thus far, here is the before picture again.

And an after picture with the window all framed in and awaiting a fresh coat of paint.

Ahh...that is just so much better. 

My question is, what do you think of the frosted glass? I debated about this for awhile, contemplating the idea of putting in a regular window and then using window treatments instead. But, in the end, I decided that less-was-more. If we did the frosted glass, I wouldn't need to hang blinds or curtains. What do you think?
