I am in need of some new blinds for my kids bedrooms. My son's room gets the hot sun in the morning and my daughter's room gets the hot sun in the afternoon. Currently I am looking at JCPenney, however with there 60% off sale the blinds are still $70 and I need 4. Has anyone had luck with blinds from other stores and liked them.

Thanks

What can I do next?

you could try that film that goes right on the window-lets in plenty of sunlight-but blocks the heat of the sun etc.lasts forever easy to clean.then you could put up curtains or blinds to just be closed at nite for privacey.

I just purchased delightful blackout curtains from Target. They come in a variety of colors-we got lime green and dark blue for our kids' rooms. I believe the brand is Eclipse. There were others to choose from in that area of the store & online. I paid $9.99, $15.99 per panel. I'm very pleased.

YIKES JCP is expeeeeensis! No I just got black out curtains from Wallmart and they work great. I tried blinds before, unless you have them custom fitted ($$$) the sun still peeks out the sides and does not really black out the room.

The curtains were $16, and lots of colors to choose from.

Good luck finding what you are looking for..

You could check out blinds.com. I've purchased several things off there and it's all worked wonderfully. They have some light blocker ones which I got for my bedroom and I really like them. I'm not sure that they'll be cheaper than Walmart but if you don't like what you find at Walmart this could be an alternative.

I hate blinds I have always used curtains. Then sun still peeks through the blinds so it's still gonna be hot. Plus curtains look so much nicer. Good luck!
