Privacy Needed- Window Wednesday

I have finally received the inspiration I need for my bathroom.  I know what I want to do, and thought I knew how I was going to treat the window.  But this particular window needs some sort of permanent privacy, as the window is directly next to the commode and the window is on the street side of the house- Hence, the privacy issue.

I also like having daylight in all my rooms, especially first thing in the morning. That means  no pull down shades, no mini blinds, really nothing that would be a traditional solution.  So I am on a curtain hunt- for my specific problem...

 I like the idea of solid panels for the bottom.  Definitely will get the privacy needed.  I would want to soften it up with an over curtain.  Personally, I have never installed shutters, so that would be something new to learn.

I just had to add this photo.  I love the random shutters.  Maybe I need to go out salvaging.

Here is an idea on softening it up...

But I would have shutters on the bottom and the shade on the top.

This is interesting...a double rod panel over shutters (OK shutters may or not be there, but I would need them).

There is always the top down blinds.

The function is there, but the price is usually higher and I would still want to add curtains.

How about window film?

Shades mounted on the bottom half of the window...

And then there is always cafe curtains.  My usual solution.

I am still not sure what the final solution is going to be...I guess I will be doing some more thinking.
