Roman Shade help!

AZMagnini14

I am looking for blackout roman shades for the nursery. I need roman shades because we have a window AC unit so drapes/panels don't work because will leave a gap in window covering. 

Ideally I would like green, a fun bright green. I don't care if its solid, patterned etc. Just want a fun green...

I have looked EVERYWHERE!

Pottery Barn Kids, target, kohls, babybedding.com, diapers.com, JCPennys, babysupermall.com, Land of Nod, Restoration Hardware Kids, etsy...

Anyone have ideas?!?!?!?!?

Last resort I found some in gray, but was hoping for some color.

You could also use a roller shade with that set up, but roman shades are much cuter. We did a roller shade in the nursery, but there was still a little bit of light coming through the sides. We put room darkening paper blinds right up against the window, you could do the same. Buy a cute roman shade that you like and put paper blinds behind it.

Ah. Blinds to Go is not near me. I am in Western NY. Although looks like a great store! I pinned the ones from BBB... maybe they could work in white. I am crafty. Just not sure I want to take on the task, but maybe if I get frustrated enough!

Thanks!

I've looked on Etsy. I get weary of drapes from there because they cost a fair amount and I can't see their work in person.

We have drapes for our son's window unit and I do not like how they fit with the window unit, thats why I want the roman shades.

PBK has these in gray and pink and they are cute..... I just need green! Maybe my design will have to change....

I am a fairly good sewer, I haven't shot down that idea. I make quilts often. I guess I'm just being lazy and picky!

I love that idea! Not all the work of sewing from scratch but still personalized to what I want. Off to search pinterest for the next hour.........

Would a honeycomb shade or similar work? selectblinds.com sells blackout honeycomb shades (and maybe roman shades too). Reasonable prices and delivered right to your door.

Also, they have some really fun prints and colours in the kids section. So you may find something neat for a nursery

I know, right? @subliminalrabbit‌ . I'm trying to decide how I want to decorate Madeline's toddler room when the time comes to move her to a big girl bed so I can pick some fun shades to go with the room

Yes @Daffy2k, they would work. Anything that comes down instead of inward. Looks like a great site, I am off to browse! Thanks for the suggestion.
