Curtain Help
I need some curtains for the baby room. I am picturing the teal color from my bedding similar to the belly of this owl:
I would like them to be a sailcloth material w/ blackout lining and preferably not grommet or tab top. Any suggestions on where to look? I've looked online already at BBB, JCP.
A search came up with these but they seem fairly thin and they are tab top, not my first choice.
Re: Curtain Help
Like the overstock ones, though I think they would be a little too light.
I just found these at Target and they might work, a little thin so I'd probaby have to add a liner to block out light. We only have cellular shades in the room.

I like the ones you found at Target.
I will say this, though. I never even close the blinds in P's room during the day for naps. She also goes to bed at night before it's dark outside. She sleeps just fine. I would maybe see how it goes before you have to sew on your own liner- uless you want a fun crafty project of course.
This! LO doesn't have curtains, only blinds and I keep them open during the day, so that he knows it is day time. I didn't want him to mess up his day and nights.
Thanks! I guess they aren't like adults, lol.
I have purchased the blackout material at Joannes before for other curtains in the house. I just used rod clips for the curtains and clipped the material behind it! Works like a charm!

Well that sounds easy enough!
Are you cellular shades blackout?
No they are light filtering but not black out.
I know with Brendan he slept better once I got blackout drapes in his room. We just had regular blinds. I don't blame you for wanting blackout. If you had blackout cellular shades I'd say you could probably get away w/o the blackout curtains.
I like the ones from Target that you found. I love your color scheme!
I went to target last night and picked up those curtains because they had them in store. I think they are a bust. They are more of an aqua color in person, not the darker teal. I did find another curtain there that is the perfect color and blackout but they are not sailcloth and are kind of shiney. I wish I could combine the two!
I might hang one of each and think about it for a few days but I have a feeling they are both going back. I might just end up with white or chocolate brown.
