How To Frost Glass {Or A Window}

We were super excited when we found this rad door on the side of the road a couple of weeks back. We knew that it would be the new laundry room door, but I was conflicted. I loved the large glass part of the door, but wasn't too sure that I wanted everyone to see in my laundry room at all times. Not that its ever messy or anything like that, of course. Just maybe wanting a little privacy is all;) Thats where the frosting of the glass comes in to play. Super simple, super cheap, and a great fix!

Start with a clean piece of glass {or a window in a door, like ours was}:

Tape off anywhere you don't want to be frosted:

Spray on frosting {man I wish this stuff tasted like actual frosting}:

You use this exactly as you would spray paint. Do thin, even coats. If you can see streaks after one coat is on, simply apply another coat. On one side of our glass we ended up having to do two coats, where as one side only required one.

We actually frosted our door before painting it the crisp new white, which I knew could potentially be a problem. When I taped over the frosted glass in order to paint the door, it ended up taking some of the frosting with it:

Oddly enough, we actually don't see it as a problem. The door itself has so much character, so we both kinda felt like a 'perfect frosting' would look out of place. Don't you agree? It truly is as simple as it looks, so if you have glass in your home that you want to be a little occluded, try it! It also {obviously} comes off easily, so theres no sense in being afraid of trying it!

Great, now I just want to go eat ice cream cake with frosting. Or red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Drrrooolll
