I’ve just about given up on trying to install the evil blinds in my son’s room. I may just go with curtains instead. They’ll give him privacy and are a whole heck of a lot easier to install. I’ve been thinking about which curtains would look best in a boy’s room. I checked out The Curtain Shop, and immediately saw some pinch pleat curtains that look stately enough to be in a boy’s room. They have a lining, which I like, because that will give him more privacy. They also have them in a blue color that will match the accents in that room. At less than $60 for the pair, the price is right, too.

Even better, I think, would be the grommet top panels. They have a more casual look to them, and are not even close to being frilly, which is something he would hate! Those come in that same blue color that I like, as well as some nice neutrals.

My favorite part of picking out curtains, though, is choosing the hardware. The hardware is what gives the room a luxurious (or cheap!) feel. I’m going to go for something modern in metal. I’ll keep the finials metal as well. It’ll be very sleek!
