alternatives to roller shades...?

Q. I really like the blackout feature on roller shades. But I rent and will be moving soon. I don't want to spend the money on blackout roller shades for my kids' bedrooms, especially since I have to have them custom made for their windows. Does anyone have any good ideas for alternatives? I don't want blankets, etc. hanging on their windows. Any ideas?

A. Alternatives to blackout shades will probably cost as much to buy or make as the real thing. Home and garden stores such as Home Depot or Rona usually sell Levelor "room darkening" white vinyl roller shades. They are an inexpensive, in stock item in a variety of widths and ( at Rona for sure ) can be cut down to your custom size width free of charge at the time of purchase. Should you move you could hopefully reuse them by cutting them again if required, to fit new windows. If not, you won't be wasting a lot of money anyways. Though they are plain white, you could always dress them up with a valance or side panels. You could make these from an extra sheet of your bedding material, and take these matching window dressings also if you move.
One thing to remember about blackout roller shades is that you should hang them on the outside of the window and trim so that it covers the window frame. If hung inside the frame the light will seep in through the sides because the hardware on the top of the roller shade is slightly wider than the vinyl fabric panel, so not all of the glass will be covered..

Decorating Two kids rooms?

Q. Decorating Two kids rooms?
I am moving my 20 month old daughter into my 3 month old son's bedroom. Neither room is decorated yet since we have just moved in. I am just looking for ideas on how to decorate the room with both a boy and a girl. I can't paint anything on the walls since it's an apartment. So I am stuck with things like curtains and bedding. Any ideas?

A. Definitely stick with colors and no theme. You can always integrate a different them later. For instance, your daughters room could be a variety of pink shades. Light pink sheets and comforters, dark pink curtains and valance, etc. Later, you can add themed accessories such as a lamps, pictures, etc. In a few years when she grows out of the theme, all you have to change is the accessories. You can keep the curtains, bedding, etc.

Same for your son. Choose a color and use a variety of shades. Bright colors make the room look smaller and vice versa.

Good Luck!

Buy a colorful patchwork quilt and curtains for now that go with the paint color you have selected. Add colorful cushions to the bed and keep the sheets plain white or pink.

The above items are for about $70.

Go to walmart or target and pick up cushions as when you have more money for your room.

Enjoy redoing your room :)
