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 :)!

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.

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]

I'm so glad I was able to help. You've really made my day.

Dragon Tree

Table Lamp

Ikea Desk Items

I really just used these items to give you some ideas, so don't feel like you're stuck using any of those.

You may be able to find a nightstand on Craigslist for $50 or less and paint it to match your dresser. The reason I used that particular picture was because I was dumbfounded over that green item sitting on the books. Seriously...what is that thing? I swear it looks like someone wadded up a piece of sod and threw it in there!

You can probably pick up a similar vase, a pot for the tree, and other accessories in Michaels, and table lamps like that are available everywhere.

As for the bedding, sets like that are pretty economical because they include everything you need, but that particular set has to be dry cleaned. I wouldn't even consider it if you have a pet that likes to sleep on your bed. However, you should be able to find something similar if that bothers you.

For the desk, I really just used that one since it's DIY. You can get a similar effect by going to a home improvement store and getting them to cut a board to any size you'd like and then painting or staining it. You can put it on practically anything: file cabinets, bookcases, kitchen cabinets, etc. It's fairly inexpensive and will give you a custom look.

I had no idea you liked comic books or I would have used some comic covers for the artwork. My husband is a collector and I swear we need a bigger house because his collection is getting out of hand!

The trick is to have closed blinds on the other side of the insulator. This should give a fairly normal appearance if they fit and look right.

If all else fails, you can always implement a thick, dark, high quality fabric that resembles curtains. If that's not enough, you can make a wood or wire frame to give the fabric inward depth from the miniblinds and glass. If that's not enough, you can further add a lamp between the insulator and fabric to simulate a lit room, and you can even incorporate a window A/C since they are visibly insulated a lot of the time anyway.

It's all about determination, my friend :)

Edit: Mirror blinds are a great style for this purpose. They're aesthetically appealing and I'd be really surprised if someone thought it was unusual that they couldn't see past reflections in broad daylight. Try to use an insulator that blends in well with the scene and, if you still feel it necessary, open up often enough to mitigate any long-term neighborhood concern.

Do you have Instagram? Check out "takingcarababies". She offers different types of classes that you can pay for, but I have gotten SO much good, free advice just from following her posts.

I also second what people are saying about the blackout curtains and sound machines. I got these for blackout curtains--they are cheap and efficient. You want something that actually blocks all light, which most curtains don't do.

Seriously though, taking Cara babies. Its a game changer!!

Definitely agree. Putting two big potted plants by the corners would be a big improvement. Something like Swiss Cheese Plants or Umbrella Plants. I'd also hang something up behind the couch/bench to keep it from looking so industrial. I think I'd hang bamboo blinds like these, and then hang a good sized mirror over them to add depth to the space.

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.

I have huge bay windows in my new apartment. They're awesome during the day, but less so at night when I'm trying to sleep.
I need something to completely black them out, but that is also easily to raise. As this is a rental, I'd like to avoid having to drill holes.
I tried this thing, it does a great job blocking out the light at night, but is a huge pain in the morning. I found this, which has a string, but is not made to completely black out all night.

Does anyone know a workable solution for this problem?

These are a lifesaver when we travel. They go on and come off really easily and make the room perfectly dark for sleep. Boo on the smoking though. Not cool.

If you're struggling to get 8 hours a night, you can focus on deepening the sleep you do get instead of sleeping longer.

• Black out your room at night. This is the biggest one for me. I have cheap blackout shades and I use electrical tape to cover internet routers, smoke alarms - anything that flashes. Get your room dark enough that you can't see your hand in front of your face. Even a little light will fuck with your melatonin production and compromise your sleep quality.
  
  
  
• If you use electronics at night, download f.lux. It's a free program that removes blue light from your monitor after the sun sets. Your phone should have night mode under settings; turn that on as well. Light in the blue spectrum is the biggest melatonin disruptor.
  
  
  
• Take 400 mg of magnesium citrate or magnesium glycinate before bed. It eases stress and causes a dramatic increase in sleep quality. Plus, a good percentage of the population is deficient in magnesium, so you could probably use a little extra anyway. If you go for magnesium citrate, start at 200 mg and move up to 400 mg over the course of a couple days. Too much at once will make you shit your pants. Glycinate doesn't have that issue, but isn't quite as bioavailable.
  
  
  
• Take 300 mcg of melatonin right before bed. Melatonin is a hormone your body uses to encourage deep sleep, and taking it in pill form will knock you right out. It's prescription in the UK, over-the-counter in the US. Most doses are far too high (2-10 mg), and can impair your natural melatonin production if you take them regularly without a break. Stick with 300mcg (linked above); it's the minimum effective dose and won't mess with your hormones long-term.
  
  
• I also drink kava tea on nights when I really can't sleep. It's more for stress relief/anxiety than for sleep, but if you find you have trouble winding down at night it can be a big help. Don't drink alcohol alongside kava; the active compounds, kavalactones, bind to the same brain receptors that alcohol does, meaning the effects of the two stack.
  
  
• Don't take sleeping pills if you can avoid them. I'm not a doctor, and I'm not saying you should ignore your doctor, but sleeping pills don't actually put you into stage 3 and stage 4 sleep (the deep, restorative sleep your brain needs). They can also cause a lot of neurological side effects.

I don't suppose the doors themselves are just in a simple track floor and ceiling, so you could reverse them, assuming the other side isn't reflective? I set my apartment up with my desk and pc in the closet, and to do so I just pulled the doors down completely and set them aside until I moved out and put them back up. I've never given a damn about the aesthetics of these kinds of solutions, so I can think of a number of potential fixes that could suit me and might not work for you.

You'd have to try these and make sure they work. Amazon has a pretty solid return policy in my experience if they didn't. https://www.amazon.com/Achim-Home-Furnishings-Ashland-60-Inch/dp/B00CSLQH4W/ref=sr_1_2?s=furniture&ie=UTF8&qid=1479746480&sr=1-2&keywords=60%22+by+72%22 just over 20 bucks for 60"x72" roller shade.

I have these curtains in red and blue, and they are a life saver - I used to work overnights, they were all that kept me sane. :) Congratulations! 1 bedroom apartment living is the best kind of living!!

I can't see what the edges look like. But I had some massive windows and there are a few options. 1. Shower tension rod, 2 amazon sells sticker shades, pretty cheap

Ive seen rods that attach to walls and are cables between, or you may be able to so something creative with sticky hooks. Do you have a wider photo?

I lived in an old school that was converted to condos, we weren't allowed to damage anything and the windows were 8 feet tall by 5 feet wide. The shower tension rods worked perfectly.

Yeah they also have some that have clips, I’m sure if you shop around you can even find some with some cool designs if you wanted.

kinda like this

Nice! Oh, and here are some temporary blackout shades:

https://www.amazon.com/Original-Blackout-Pleated-Shade-6-Pack/dp/B000SDROMG

I used Redi Shades in a whole house before while waiting to figure out a more permanent window treatment solution and ended up leaving them for more than a year, as they were clean-looking, durable, and easy to adjust if needed.

What I would recommend is something similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/Chicology-Double-Sliding-French-Truffle/dp/B0077HEL0E/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1413921623&sr=1-1
Or another beige-ish tone depending on your wood. I have a very similar divider to create a bedroom space in my studio apartment and it looks fantastic. If you have room to store it, you could unscrew what's there from the wall and put it in your closet until time to move out.

For that length make sure the motors are the AC type which plug into a wall outlet. I've tried the kind with lithium batteries inside that charge with little solar cells: didn't work.

Get the shades from anywhere. Ensure it's a 1.5" thick tube. Then install these:

​

Remember to buy the remote control and Broadlink IR separately. When it comes to programing first install the IHC app, set an account (free), enable that skill in alexa, then link them. To add the blinds in the ihc app I had to select them as a "lamp," then manually teach the broadlink the controls. Just change the name from lamp to blinds and you're good.

You can purchase blackout shades in a similar style to the existing ones. There are also small L tracks that you can put on the walls that will cut out any bleeding around the edges of the blind. If you like the look of the shades better I would look into this. You'll have to dig around to find the right height and width.

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.

I got two packs of these temporary stick on paper shades to use until I can make up my mind / save up money. They look good in person, especially for $2-3 a piece, and my only complaint is they're annoying to lift up and down regularly. But they're not an eyesore so I'm not rushing to get rid of them.

I'm stalking blinds.com and selectblinds.com for their replacements. These sites always always have sales. I have my carts full with wood roller blinds waiting for a 40% sale. Wood roller blinds can add some really nice texture to a room.

Congrats!!! You're a big girl now

If you work shifts, these blackout curtains will help!

I have these in my bedroom and they're amazing.

There are affordable paper shades that would hangle at the correct angle. You might have to pin at the ideal pivot pt, but they'd work.

Something like these. These assume you aren't interested in full blackout.

If you want to get some blackout curtains that aren't actually curtains (for the strangulation risk), I highly recommend these paper ones

They're pleated and made of paper. You can cut them to length (or width) and they come with clips so you can fold them up and secure them!

You need a sweet action figure!

Super inexpensive, blocks light. I have them in almost every window of my apartment.

I installed blackout curtains. You can buy them on Amazon :)

You should put these on your wishlist :)

If it were me, I get whatever curtains I liked the look of and then put one of these up in the window behind it.

Do you need curtains for aesthetics or to block the light? If the first, I would just leave the blinds. If the second, you can buy tracks for the blinds on amazon. We used them in my son's room, they work great. https://www.amazon.com/Finally-effective-solution-annoying-blackout/dp/B01M0AJNLP

Since others are addressing the insulation, I'll tackle the blackout curtains. You know how when you stay in a hotel/motel, those really heavy & thick curtains that have the vinyl backing on them? Those are blackout curtains. In hotels (and home theaters), they're used to block out all incoming light (blacking out the room). They're also thick enough to provide some manner of insulation, preventing drafts & airflow to the rest of the room. Just a real quick search, and I found these and these. It'll certainly look better than the plastic shrink film, at least.

i have paper blackout curtains in my bedroom instead of an eye mask. you can also find them at hardware stores, for example home depot if you are in the usa. you cut them to you window size and tape em up. they have clips to keep them weighted when you put them doen at night. works like a charm - total darkness!

Paper Blinds

This is a classic case of shift work sleep disorder. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift_work_sleep_disorder)

Do what you can to control lighting and temperature in your bedroom.

1. Get cheap blackout curtains or something to reduce room light. What I bought to help: http://amzn.com/B000SDTEAG Also, I have used this sleep mask: http://amzn.com/B0015NZ6FK. I bought a cheaper one once, but it wasn't big enough and hurt my ears.
   
   
2. Keep your bedroom cool if possible.
   
   
3. Avoid computer, TV & cell phone screens (my personal reoccurring issue)
   
   
4. Don't abuse melatonin & when you use it, make sure you're in a dark room with the steps from above.
   
   
5. If you run out of those options, Tylenol PM (Diphenhydramine HCl) is safe in the short term.
   
   
6. Stop caffeine intake by your lunch time (which I would guess is around 6PM).
   
   (I've worked night shift for nearly 8 years. It's taken me a long time to figure it all out. I feel your pain.)

We use these (https://www.amazon.com/Original-Blackout-Pleated-Shade-6-Pack/dp/B000SDROMG) in our bedroom with some existing curtains we had. They are amaaaaazing. It keeps our up-with-the-sun jack russell in bed a couple hours extra on the weekends.

6 shades for $20? 100% worth it.

I've used them in two houses now, Just attach them to the windows and optionally put a curtain of your choice in-front of them.

I work nights and bought these. They are amazeballs. Also use them where the kids sleep. My toddler has not pulled them down yet. You have to manually fold them up and clip them, which with toddlers is a plus since there's no cool "whizz!!" action. http://www.amazon.com/Quick-Blackout-Pleated-Paper-Shade/dp/B000SDTEAG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1464542782&sr=8-2&keywords=blackout+shades

They come in two sizes -- Original Blackout Pleated Paper shade. 36" for $20 and 48" wide for $36. I bought the $20 version and was able to had to trim off a couple of inches; they're designed to be cut per the directions.


The top most end has an adhesive strip although in supposed one could use tacks if they preferred. The adhesive stip works fine.

I have these. Similar.

I had a similar window issue so i got this insanely inexpensive light filtering shade that you cut to size. Far exceeded my expectations. I ended up buying 2 more.

That's what I used at my temp apartment. Black ones will fit the apt style & rather inexpensive. Easy to cut them to adjust the width. The only downside, given how high up your windows are, will be a pain in the boot to adjust them. So I'd just leave them at about 70-75% closed.

That is $35 for a 6 pack. They are actually quite good at blocking the light. They make them in several different weights too, so you can block more or less light.

You might try it this way, and then, if glare still is a bother get some block out shades or curtains that can be pulled as needed?
