Light blocking window coverings

TMDMJAOCT07

I haven't purchased any because dd had been a good nap taker, until recently. I'm sure its a combo of things triggering this, but since were moving and I'm taking down the blinds that are currently in what will be her room, I figured I'd just get some light blocking blinds off the bat.

So, I'm wondering where did you get yours from? Are you happy with them? Any tips or suggestions?

It's good you posted this, because I need some wicked bad.  Last night, ds finally fell asleep an hour after his bedtime, because his room was too light at 8pm.  He was jumping up and down in bed and playing. 

I loved daylight savings time until I had kids, and now I despise it.

 As my dd jumps around in bed right now singing, refusing to nap, I'm despising the sun!!  ha.  Yes, daylight savings is a pain right now, I couldn't agree more!

People think I am strange because I use blinds and curtains. I think DH got blinds for DD's room at Home Depot but I also got those eclipse black out curtains  to help with more of the light and it works very well. I have the same for my room and I got them at Kmart.

Pottery barn kids has a great selection. You can also find pottery barn ones on eBay. I saw some at Target recently too.

I bought 5 yards light blocking material at Joann's fabric and curtain clips from Ikea.

We just ordered some for Lo's new bedroom now that she's giving up the nursery to her sis. We got them at Lowe's. They have different levels of darkening. The ones we have for the nursery are light filtering. It lets in a little too much light, so we went with room darkening for her new bedroom. They also have black out. For two blinds it was <$100 I think.

We got costumized ones to fit the window, but here's what they look like.

We got light blocking drapes at Bed Bath and Beyond for about $20 each.

We also have black out blinds with a darker/heavier curtain overtop. I also use the curtain rods that curve around the sides, to keep the light from coming out the sides of the window.
