Default Privacy issue

Hi I have a porch on my house which has glass that although is fairly
difficult to see through it is possible when you are right upto the
windows. I don't want to put nets up as at night I leave the inner door
open with the downstairs light on. So as we all know you can see
through nets with alight on. The bathroom is at the other end of the
hall and you can see right into it. I often don't close the door to the
bathroom as I am only living with my girlfriend and she has been on her
own for some time and does the same. (that's true love eh? (I know get
the bucket!!!)) So any ideas on how to prevent people from looking in,
but still allow light in? A curtain isn't an option either as that will
just hide the nice design of the windows and door as well as annoy us
when we have to open the door to the chinese deliveries! I have even
looked at the mirrored sticky stuff you put in car windows but they are
extremely expensive here. I am in ireland by the way!

Let it all hang out and become an exhibitionist

So let me get this straight...you have one pane of glass and two doors
between the oustside world and your toilet and you don't close any of them
when you are curling one off?

It all sounds like you want people to watch you crap, sorry but there's too
many excuses in there.

The outside porch door with window that you can see through when up
close, two side panes the same, inner door with bubble glass you can't
see through. But when that inner door is closed it is very dark in the
hallway. I was trying to get the outer door made more private without
having to keep the inner door shut all the time. Also in the summer we
keep the inner door open to allow the air to move freely to keep it
cooler. We can't leave the outer door open as the cats keep coming in.
