TOP FIVE

  1. Crib: Graco Benton 5-in-1 in Pebble Gray. I got a really, really good deal on this through amazon, because the box it came in was damaged and they couldn't guarantee that the crib itself wouldn't have some superficial damage. I wasn't bothered by the prospect, and luckily it turned out I didn't have to be! Crib was in perfect shape and I got it for 50% its normal price.
  2. Mobile: unfortunately, I think this particular style of mobile is sold out, but I got it from Sorrel & Fern on Amazon. Here is a similar style, though it's woodland themed.
  3. Blinds: we had some old pull cord blinds before, which were some of the first things to go. I got these magnetic blinds here. I will say they're a liiittle too big for the size window we have but nothing a little adjusting can't fix. They were super easy to install, too.
  4. Marquee 'J': I love this so much. I don't even know why.
  5. We got a lot of hand me down furniture from friends and family - our changing table, dresser, and the recliner I have set up in my nursing corner. I think my favorite contribution from family is the hand-made giraffe that my Aunt knit for him. I know it took her a lot of time and I adore it.
  6. Bonus stroller: My MIL bought this for us, which I'm really grateful for. We live 2 blocks away from a sizable park and I wanted something that would be easy to handle on the walking trails.
  7. Bonus floating shelves: I had a hell of a time installing these, but that was a fight between me and the drywall than it was the fault of the shelves themselves.

I understand, however, I did find these which are of similar style, they are 100% blackout and come in 20 different colors

I have one of [these] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZVA3FRO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Un36Bb9FXSHQB) it's pretty nice. They have cheaper ones that aren't real wood, while I wouldn't trust the mechanism to not shit it out they still look pretty nice.

u/gslavik · 2 pointsr/liberalgunowners

Ooh, I have a solution that doesn't involve cutting cords. Getting those boat tie looking things and attaching them out of the reach of kids. Same thing with guns, don't want Billy to accidentally shoot himself? Put that shit where he can't get it (safe, locked cabinet, etc.)

My main issue is that when an attack that leaves 30 dead happens with a gun, everyone starts yelling "ban guns". But when an attack leaves 30 dead from a truck, nobody decides to ban trucks.

Here's a terrible analogy, explain to a 60 year old that someone is making money playing chess. Then tell them someone is making money playing video games. What different? One is moving wooden figurines on a board, the other is moving figurines on a screen. The issue is that both require certain skills. Chess requires very good pattern recognition and ability to think ahead strategically. Video games require the same strategic thinking in addition to having excellent hand eye coordination (which many of us take for granted).

EDIT: They're called cord cleats, here's one on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Window-Blind-Cleats-Screws-Blinds/dp/B01BPEXMO0/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=blinds+tie&qid=1564975314&s=gateway&sr=8-3

Do you already have the blinds? There are blinds you can order that ride on a track and block out the light. https://www.blindschalet.com/comfortracktanslucent38.html

If you have them already, there are tracks you can install on the room side of the blinds that cover the gaps: https://www.amazon.com/Sleepy-Time-Tracks-Effective-Solution/dp/B071WWXHP4/

Note: I have never seen, not to mention used either of these products. There is no product endorsement of either link. They were simply the first links to show the concepts I was describing.

ISO EXTREME FABRIC STIFFENER FOR SLIDING FABRIC PANELS, TOTAL NOOB

Hoping this is a basic question, but not sure.

I am on a budget, and have at least two storage spots I need to affordably cover (specifically, the lower portion of some open shelving in my kitchen and ugly sliding mirror doors in my living room).

I'm inspired by the Chicology and Ikea sliding fabric panel systems. What makes them look finished is that the panels themselves are extremely stiff, so they are more like the material of a roller blind, say (almost a non-woven) than a curtain, but still have a bit of "bend."

Addressing the first project: I had rod panels in the kitchen, but they just didn't look right: too flouncy and unfinished. I found some great thrift shop Marimekko/Ikea fabric that goes swimmingly with my mod/Scandi style in that room, and want to use that. It's actually a duvet cover--just perhaps 300 th ct cotton. So what I need is a means to make the fabric stiffer--like, as stiff as possible--so it will work with, say, the Ikea panel system hardware.

Is there a specific kind of lining/interfacing that I should look for to make this fabric as stiff as possible? Or some liquid treatment--I was even contemplating modge podge or some glue/starch solution... Found this post that gives options including gelatin, diluted PVA glue, and interfacing options, but I was lucky to find this fabric on the cheap and don't want to ruin it w/o some input from those who know...

Oh. And I should mention. I can sew by hand (poorly, but will do my best), but don't have a sewing machine--so something other than interfacing might be ideal, although if that is the best solution, would love to know. Might be able to get one of my more skillful friends to sew if I do the cutting.

Appreciate any guidance that can be given :)!

Here's another option

If you want it automated you would have to do something yourself with arduino

u/turlian · 1 pointr/hometheater

I have something like this in my basement and bedroom. They block ALL the light and don't have cords. You just lift up and down on the bottom of the shade to raise and lower them.

The ones I got were from Home Depot and they cut them to my custom lengths right in the store. Just make sure you get the blackout versions, as they make the same shade in a non-blackout style.

Something like this would make the window a little more interesting without ruining the clean lines.
Wide Vertical Blinds

u/OolasBF · 1 pointr/homeowners

My wife bought about a dozen of these on Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/Home-Detailerz-Customizable-Pleated-72-Inch/dp/B01CDPI0JM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1485307119&sr=8-2&keywords=window+blinds+cut+to+size

So far they've worked great. They are cheaply made, but you wouldn't know it by looking at them. The adhesive sticks well, they were easy to cut and install and have stood up to regular use for more than a month now.

My two cents.

u/Ron_Fuckin_Swanson · 1 pointr/malelivingspace

Hang your Fleur on the brick. Either drill and put in a screw or get some brick clips.

I'd borrow a hammer drill and get a permanent screw mounted dead center above the mantle. Even if you move, someone will always use it to hang something.

Other than that, lets start with the basics.

  1. the curtain rod needs to be replaced. You want something strong and sturdy over wide windows. Check out the Amazon basics 1" rod. Im also a fan of the pipe style curtain rods. I have these in my house

  2. Remove the mini blinds from the door and go with 2" faux wood to match the other window. French door blinds like these come with mounts so the very bottom rung attached to the door, making it so they don't flap around when you use the door. Since you have a pupper, You might want to consider using those mounts up higher and leaving some open window space at the bottom for little eyeballs to see outside. It will keep them from tearing up the blinds.

    As for the curtain panels for the other window, maybe something like this that matches the carpet style. Since you have window blinds already, you don't really need full on blackout curtains..so some nice semi sheer curtains would look nice. Just push them off to the sides of the window to create the look of curtains...or open the blinds and close them to have privacy but let in light

  3. Get some table lamps for your end tables. And do yourself a favor and get plug in slide dimmers and use dimming LED bulbs or incandescent. I prefer incandescent in my den lamps because they dim really softly and its really homey feeling. Simple table lamps


  4. Paint. I feel like something in a sage green would go nicely in this space.

    And if you white wash the brick and stain the mantle a nice dark walnut color...I think the sage green would go nicely.

  5. Lastly, at some point, change out the ceiling fan to something in bronze. [Maybe something like this]
    (https://www.homedepot.com/p/Home-Decorators-Collection-Copley-52-in-Indoor-Outdoor-Oil-Rubbed-Bronze-Ceiling-Fan-51504/206648583) Brass dates a house so any time you can get rid of it, you should.
u/CarrieStone2 · 1 pointr/malelivingspace

a gray or an offwhite color of curtain would do or a white blind like here

Curtains are among the easiest thing to sew. If you know anyone with any sewing ability they probably would not mind making some for your. It's a sewing machine and less than an hour of their time

Rachel O'Leary reviewed this snail trap on her YouTube channel and said it worked pretty well.

u/bowdowntopostulio · 1 pointr/beyondthebump

Whatever routine you have at night with her, try it during the day. Helps wind the baby down!

These curtains really black the room out for us!
