Room darkening curtains - where'd you get yours?

I am just starting this search.  Ideally I'd like to buy in store because I am trying to get something that matches our gray glider.  So far I've only gone to Bed Bath &  Beyond & haven't found anything.  Would love to hear where you found yours (and if it was online, please share, as we may need to go that route!).

My TTC Journey:
Dx: Hypothalamic amenorrhea / mild PCOS (Pretty much a hormone/ovulatory disorder)
Progesterone to induce period w/ the goal of Clomid - never got period (September 2011). Referred to RE.
Femera - never responded to the meds (December 2011)
Clomid with TI - BFN (February 2012)
Injectables (Menopur) - hyperstimulated/canceled (March 2012)
Injectables #2 (Menopur) with TI- BFN (May 2012)
IVF - OHSS (transfer canceled), but 11 frozen! (June 1012)
FET - 1 transferred on 8/09/12. Beta#1 (11dp5dt): 350.3; Beta#2: 365; Beta#3: 157. Biochemical pregnancy.
FET # 2 - 1 transferred on 11/01/12. Beta#1 (11dp5dt): 337; Beta#2: 769. BFP!!! 1st ultrasound 11/28/12 showed heartbeat, but measuring 5 days behind. 2nd ultrasound 12/05/12 - miscarriage.
FET # 3 - 1 transferred on 1/24/13. Beta#1 (11dp5dt): BFN.
FET # 4 - 2 transferred on 3/21/13.  Bet #1 (11dp5dt): 660; Beta#2: 1,300.  Miscarried at home @ 6 weeks.

FET # 5 - 2 transferred on 7/12/13.  Beta #1 (10dp6dt): BFN.
Attempted an IUI in late August 2013, but didn't respond well.
IVF #2 with PGS - Stims started 10/28 with retrieval on 11/11.  Of 14 mature eggs, 10 fertilized, 4 made it to Day 5 & 1 made it to Day 6. We did PGS on the Day 5 embryos, and 3 of 4 were normal. Had ET on 11/17. Beta #1 (8dp6dt): 203. Beta #2 (10dp6dt): 618. We since had two ultrasounds & on 12/19, our RE released us to the OB.  On 1/02/14, we had our first ultrasound with the OB where we heard the heartbeat.  We are so thankful for the blessing & crossing every finger & toe for a healthy & successful pregnancy.

    I got black out liners from target so I could get curtains I loved. They are awesome, the room is pitch dark with the liners closed.

    I got black out curtains at Lowes that work pretty well.

    I got these and they are great! We installed inside the window frame. They come in lots of sizes!

    @AKB090609 - How do you use the liners?  Separate rod?  Or another way?

    It depends on the style of curtain you choose (pinch pleat, pocket...) the liners come with drapery pins and directions for the best method depending on the type. We have pocket curtains and use a double rod.

    Ikea - they were inexpensive, and work really well.

    If you want something more custom, we used etsy.  They sent fabric samples first so we were sure they matched.  I love them!

    We have the Eclipse ones from Target. Been using them since DD was 7 mo and we LOVE them. I have the brown ones and they do completely darken the room. It is dark as night in there when closed. But I have to say that the color of your curtain has a lot to do with how well they will work too. I think a lighter colored one won't darken the room as well even if it is very good quality. Something about a dark piece of fabric over the window that just works better.
