I am in the middle of a large project again, yes more towers. ;!) I am
building a pantry for our new home, It stands 8' tall and will be about
8' wide when completed. Thgis is going to be a country style pantry, it
will have glass cabinet doors that expose the can goods inside.

Originally I was thinking clear glass but have come to think that glass
that defuses the image of the contents of the pantry might be better.
I still want to be to identify what is behind the 4 doors but might not
want to see with great clarity until the doors are open. We want the
colors of what is in the cabinet to show through.

Any thoughts?

I am considering non glare but was wondering if there might be a spray
or something that might accomplish the same thing.

Sounds good, acid etching is possible, but very hard to achieve uniform
results. Call around some local glass shops, ask about frosted glass,
(it is similar to some glass shower doors) go visit, and take a couple
tin cans with labels with you, see if it is the effect you want.

Sandblasted glass takes on fingerprints more easily than gloss glass
and it's a lot harder to clean. I recommend against it.

How about an application of privacy film to the glass, maybe in Rice
Paper? http://goo.gl/xwKsA It would be easier to clean while adding
both class and functionality. Use the thickest stuff you can find.
That Gila gold sunblocking film is ghastly to work with. When (not if)
it wrinkles, it takes the color with it, leaving nasty voids.

Maybe look for frosted shelf paper. It's thicker. http://goo.gl/VLGdR

you can spray lacquer on sand blasted glass which makes fingerprint
removal not a problem. heating it to 1225 for 8 minutes also gives you a
satin finish on blasted glass that doesn't show any fingerprints.

there are literally hundreds of different, but clear, patterned glasses.
a stained glass store will have some of them that they'd probably cut to
size for you for a very small fee. a place that provides window glass
would have catalogs of architectural pattern glass for perusal, but
they'd probably only have a few on hand. the rest they could order.

Find and visit your local stained glass hobby shop. I found one
locally and they had lots of diffused or textured glass onhand to
choose from and were very nice in selling me a good set of glass
cutting tools and showed me how to use them.

Once you see what you want in person, you can order online if they
don't have enough stock on-hand. Just search on stained glass supplies
and they also carry the diffused and textured styles.

Glass is a lot of fun to work with. I have a pending project where I
will use frosted glass and I am really looking forward to it.

Yes there is. You can get matte lacquer in rattle cans. One brand is
McDonalds, used to use it to spray photographic prints. It comes in
"retouching" (very matte with a tooth), matte, semigloss and gloss. You can
also make your own by adding talc to lacquer.

Of course, there is sand blasting. And if you want to do it yourself (I
wouldn't) you can use emery powder with some oil and grind with another
piece of glass. Takes a while...I know because I needed a sizeable piece
for a camera; tried hydrofluoric acid first, all it did was eat the glass.

I actually used to do stained glass, and am aware of those alternatives
but I have a lot of glass to buy, 15 x 39, 4 times and 15 x 15, 4 times.
I have considered glue chip glass but that might draw too much attention
and antique glass would be a cool alternative.

Over in the window-film section of your local BORG you can find a film that

idiot builders installed in the shower. The stores even have films nowadays
that mimic stained glass - and mimic it quite well.

Thank you to every one, I think I have got all the information I need.
Swingman provided my with "the guy" to do the glass and now I don't
have to pick a particular glass with so many alternatives available for
existing glass.

Theodore suggested prints of what we would like to see mounted on
plywood and that is a cool idea. We have discussed to some length
adding custom sized quilts with seasonal themes should we decide the
plain glass reveals too much. My wife being a quilter could take care
of that.

More and more lately, I've been using acrylic or some other plastic
composite in the place of glass when the opportunities present
themselves. And, the tinted acrylic gets extra attention. You might
consider that for your project. The 'tint' invites someone to try to
peer through it to see what's inside. ~ Just a thought.

In case you haven't noticed, the cabinets in the kitchen have glue chip
glass; and the doors in the corner cabinet in the dining room has
antique glass.

I especially like the MARIJUANA one near the bottom. LOL

I'da thunk you'da went fer the light frost or ever leaf pattern, but
that's only because they didn' have a Dueling Sawblades pattern.

This is a case where the feminine choice may be the key, right?

I am in the middle of a large project again, yes more towers. ;!) I am
building a pantry for our new home, It stands 8' tall and will be about
8' wide when completed. Thgis is going to be a country style pantry, it
will have glass cabinet doors that expose the can goods inside.

Originally I was thinking clear glass but have come to think that glass
that defuses the image of the contents of the pantry might be better.
I still want to be to identify what is behind the 4 doors but might not
want to see with great clarity until the doors are open. We want the
colors of what is in the cabinet to show through.

Any thoughts?

I am considering non glare but was wondering if there might be a spray
or something that might accomplish the same thing.

I have used Krylon Frosted glass finish with good results on an entrance
door which was clear. It can be removed with a razor blade or lacquer
thinner.

Looks like the least expensive alternative. I'll keep that in mind,
Thanks!

Massive _six_ ounce can for only $7.26? sigh

aside from the view when my wife is having a shower.....I suspect that
is for cleaning issues. Etched glass and soap scum do tend to like each
other.

I actually used to do stained glass, and am aware of those alternatives

I have considered glue chip glass but that might draw too much attention
and antique glass would be a cool alternative.

In case you haven't noticed, the cabinets in the kitchen have glue chip
glass; and the doors in the corner cabinet in the dining room has
antique glass.


I think I recall the glue chip, the antique is so subtle I may not have
noticed.

They want to be able to see that expensive tile they just paid for.
Plain is easier to clean, too, usually.

On a couple of them the next door neighbor must be enjoying the view ...
no blinds and plain glass on both the window and the shower.

Our next door neighbors garden bath has a clear glass window, we can
look right in through the kitchen window. Funny, the fence is lower so
we get a full unobstructed view. They did add a venetian blind.
