| Any recommendations for good light and maybe though not essential sound block. |

| For what room? I have some decent ones for the living room that I got at JC Penney (they have a pretty decent curtain selection that won't bankrupt you). For kids rooms, I've had good luck with Pottery Barn Kids. (waited for a sale) |

| The ones from Target are pretty good and thick. I think they have Thinsulate. |

| If you want a cheap fix, go to Joanns, buy some blackout liner, clip it to existing curtains and hang. Or, go with the Eclipse brand available in Target or Amazon. |

Target seems to be the best. NEVER EVER wash them though. They say they're washable, but they're not. I ruined 4 panels that way.
I put my blackout drapes inside of my regular curtains since they aren't as pretty as the ones my seamstress makes. |

| I have the Real Simple blackout (honeycomb) shades from Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and really like them. They work best on windows that have deep casements for interior mounting. |

| If its for a kids room, Pottery Barn kids are the cutest by far. It was a splurge to me, but totally worth it. Look brand new 3 years later. I got the gingham. |

| We have these from Amazon and they work very well in our baby's room. http://www.amazon.com/Grommet-Thermal-Insulated-Blackout-Pair-BLACK/dp/B0026SG2OM/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1392844249&sr=1-1&keywords=blackout+curtains+grommet |

We have these in the natural color in a rented apartment where I didn't want to spend lots of money. http://www.countrycurtains.com/product/010150bo+black+out+rod+pocket+curtains.do?sortby=ourPicks&refType=
We don't use the rod pocket but use clip-on curtain rings (which are what is shown in the photo). Have had them about 6 months and they block almost all light and are attractive and durable. I ordered the Amazon ones that a PP posted first before I bought the ones I'm posting but I found the Amazon ones to look cheap (sort of shiny fabric). These look way more expensive than they actually were in person. |
