Blackout curtains for kids rooms can help you control...I've known for awhile that I wanted to have a yellow + white + baby blue + navy blue color scheme in my little man's nursery. So when I saw these adorable navy blue gingham curtains at Pottery Barn Kids, it's no surprise that I fell in love. Perfect for the nursery! But not so much a perfect price. While they're on sale now (of course!), each panel was originally $79 and I needed four... with taxes and shipping, we're talking almost $375. Not exactly within the nursery curtain budget! And then inspiration hit in the form of our favorite Swedish cheap-o decor center.

Waaay back in April (remember this post?), I came across an amazing deal on navy blue gingham fabric at Ikea. For some reason, the fabric was displayed at $3.99/yard instead of it's normally priced $8.99/yard... so they gave me the deal! Seriously exciting if you need a lot of fabric, like I did. Since I knew I wanted to make longer curtains (around 96" tall) I went ahead and grabbed 14 yards of the material for a whopping $55.86. After finding a few awesome tutorials online (like this one and this one), I sort of created my own hodge-podge curtain-making tutorial as I went. I'm certainly no professional (so take my advice with a grain of salt), but thanks to my new sewing machine, I think I've cranked out some pretty awesome curtains! Now it's time to add the lining. I picked up my blackout liner at JoAnn Fabrics on sale- normally $6.99/yard but it was 50% off. I bought 13 yards of the liner for about $45.44. Now comes another scary cutting part... but luckily you already know your curtain measurements (remember, mine is 94 inches), so you just add 2.5 inches to that number and cut that length for the liner.

Oh and as you can see, we're pulling lots of navy into the room with items like the painted kiddo rocking chair and other accessories. We even decided to bring our navy blue nesting tables from the living room into this space as a side table for the glider.
