I cut some frosted plexi to set in the window. Works great and is easy to do, as well as being easy to remove when needed.
How did you affix it to the window so it doesn't fall out when the overhead door opens.
Yes but if they put their face to the glass then they can see inside.
Actually, I could screw it to the wooden part of the door. I'm starting to like that idea.

They make frosted glass film you apply like window tint. I put this in my bathroom on the lower portion of my double hung window.

I use the prismatic diffuser plexi used for drop-in fluorescent lighting. It's easy to cut and pretty cheap. It can be held in place with small velcro pads on the corners that will allow you to remove the pieces for cleaning. It does not block light from coming in, and actually helps scatter it around the shop. It also totally obscures the contents of the building.

This isn't perfect but it works well for me. I cover my garage door windows from the inside with four 1/4" masonite panels that are white on the inside and black on the outside. They are up at all times when I am not in the garage. They are down when I want natural light during the day and up at night when I am working in the garage. From the outside, you can not see that the garage lights are on when I am working inside at night. The panels fit into a plastic lattice slot along the top edge and are fastened with velcro along the bottom edge. It takes about 30 seconds to remove or install all 4 panels - no tools involved.

That stuff works great, is cheap and easy to apply. I used it years ago at my parent's place to cover up a glass window.
That looks really cool, any pictures of the rest of your garage?
