The curtains are beautiful -- I love the texture of the fabric and the color (light pink) was exactly what I hoped.  They are not "blackout" curtains, however, as a good amount of sunlight still shown through when they were closed.  We hung them in our two-year-old's bedroom, but they were not nearly dark enough to prevent her from waking up way too early (toddlers are the ultimate gauge for blackout panels!) so we moved them to her playroom.  They look great in there and don't need to block light the same way.
