Q&A: need some suggestions for window treatments in nursery?
Question by julie: need some suggestions for window treatments in nursery?
What do I do about privacy? I kind of wanted to try to get some panels and a shade, just so it looks finished, but will that be to much? Also what color panels would you recommend? I was thinking pink?

Let me contribute the cheap answer, (you need to save those pennies!) If you buy a basic white, plastic roller shade, they are very easy to paint, stencil or stamp. The design on your bedding is quite simple, and you could find a similarly shaped flower stamp at any craft store. You could either cover the shade with alternating pink flowers, or do a row at the bottom. It wouldn’t overwhelm the room with pink, would be very cute with the valance, and if it got broken, it would be no big deal to replace. (I’m talking about the shades that attach inside the window frame, and have no cords.)
Hope all goes well with your little one’s arrival.

it will be too much pink ,you could find the same white panels and use the valance like this picture http://scripps-content.communicationsmgr.com/pcsupload/b10a6a0e-1803-42b5-af83-1663fb742002_player.jpg
Or if you like this idea the valance and a roman shade , http://scripps-content.communicationsmgr.com/pcsupload/6e870934-d5ed-409f-9ab2-04d15e08e3db_player.jpg
if you need privacy you can also get a Venetian blind but make sure that the cords are short and in the appropriate safety device to prevent tragedy ,better be safe than sorry!
Keep the crib away from the window !
Since you want a shade, why not go the little bit more and get a “magic” shade? LNT.com is advertising these shades that have NO cords. Sounds like the ideal. Also, assuming you want the crib or changing table anywhere near the window, skip the panels. They are not made to withstand a sweet little baby getting it in there hands and pulling/waving them around, nor are they great for sucking on. Which is what will happen when she finds the curtains in reach.
