Gamom3 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I purchased 3 blackout curtains off ebay, for an awesome price. I was thinking they would fit perfectly, but now that they are up, they fit the window fine, but there is a gap between the panels..I need one more panel! I can not find these anywhere online. I believe they are by Maytex, but when I look the UPC and item number up it comes up a different color...black and they are not in stock. These are considered tan but a very dark tan. something like these in this picture http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5555769 I was thinking if I went to Walmart---I know they sell some blackout or thermal curtains and purchased a cream or dark brown and put them where the gaps where if this would look ok.? The room the curtains are in is a rusty orangish and dark brown--accent wall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyinTN Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 This is exactly what I'm planning on doing in our new apartment. The windows are huge and I didn't get enough panels..so I'm going for like a sheer in the middle...I think it will look fine. Good luck and I feel your pain!:grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I have the thermals from Walmart and they're lame. The dim the light, but don't black it out, at all. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamom3 Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 at some at one store..JCPenny I think it was and they did not black out all the light. The ones I have...definitely not from Wal-mart..do not black-out all the light, but do a good enough job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissel Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I know Pottery Barn sells blackout curtains, and you could try The Company Store too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm taking "black out" too seriously. But when I think of "black out" curtains, I think of those at hotels that really block out light! Those are what I want, at least in my bedroom.

Pster Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 could you add some border on the panels you do have? would that work? or do you need to fill in more space than that would allow? just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
