I saw that Home Depot has black black out shades from the same brand. </p> <p>I would prefer using the grey ones if they completely black out the light too.</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-black-out-curtains#post-217957 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 19:17:41 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 217957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was @Ms.SK: How could I forget! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-black-out-curtains#post-217953 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 19:15:09 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 217953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamajaja: I have to look up who here gave the recommendation to me and share the love.

We mounted ours in between the window and the screen. (you really have to see our windows for it to make sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-black-out-curtains#post-216801 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 18:36:36 +0000 chopsuey 216801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES!

If so, where did you get them?</p> <p>LO shows us signs she is tired but has been taking a while to fall asleep for her afternoon naps and at bedtime. We had her in complete darkness during a recent trip (hotel had black out shades) and she would fall asleep right away so I'm thinking about getting them for her room. </p>
