What are your thoughts on windows in garage doors? It is a mid century modern home that has no other windows in the garage. Pictures welcome. Thanks.

It depends on the house and its style. Can you post an image of the front of your home?

I recently saw a HGTV program “Boise Boys” where they we're flipping a MCM home in Bouse, ID. The pic below with large windows is what the used. Many manufacturers have MCM specific choices. I say be bold and go for it. Garages dominate so American homes so embrace what you have.

Agree with Sharon. Anything that has frosted glass will give you the light but it won't allow anyone to see what you've got inside.
