That's a great idea. DW always sleeps later than I do and she's been trying to figure out a way to keep the BR dark.

Thanks, to make the room dark we also had to darken the sun-roof over the shower and cover the vents. We removed the inside cover and I placed batting over it with aluminum foil on the top half. We also use foam inside the vents with covers over them. Not only does it help to make the room darker it helps to keep it a lot cooler when it’s so hot. Best of all no more towels hanging over the valances!

What a great idea. So tidy and unobtrusive when they are rolled up. I like it.

That is a great mod. Glad to know you can keep the day night shades.

As a former graveyard shift worker I can tell you that wearing eyeshades is a lot cheaper and just as effective. That being said....great job!!

Great way to darken your bedroom. When I worked some nights I used that bubble wrap with a shiny surface on both sides cut to the size of the window and then lowered the day/night shades. We still use them on those HOT camping trips to block some heat and light!
