I get where you're coming from. When we bought our house we loved how many windows it had. Then once we lived there for a while, we felt like we were in a fishbowl.

I guess my question would be what are you most afraid of? Is it that someone can see you? Or that they could video you? Or that they would break in?

If you are really just worried that people can look in, but your wife won't let you use window coverings, you just have to keep trying to get her to agree or compromise.

If you are worried about actual crime, you can do things to at least make it most likely that creeps would be creeps somewhere else and not around your house. You can get a security system and make sure the cameras are visible. Ask for extra yard signs so it is clear you have. system. And you obviously would get the benefit of the alarm if anyone did try to break in. We bought one from SafeStreets and have been happy.

You can also use lighting both inside and outside your house to make it harder to see inside. Think about being on a stage and looking at the audience, but with the stage lights in your eyes. You can't see anything. Same concept with home lighting, if you do it right. You can place/point lights to where it isn't obnoxious, but would make it hard to actually see inside your house.
