THere are several newish homes in the neighborhood that we live in now where the garage doors almost completely look like frosted glass.
They look just like this.
With cars in the garage, you can see the rear ends of the cars, but you can't really make out any detail. I haven't tried getting up close to see if I could make anything out with my face up against them. I like the idea of them and like the light coming through.
I think it's also often possible to mix and match panels to create your own style. I've seen garage doors with just the strip at the top (more privacy) or just the strip on one side (more arty?) and then there's this one with the top and side. You could probably even get two of the horizontal window panels and have 2 horizontal strips across the top for more light.
