Not sure if this is what you mean, but we got off-white pleated shades from Linens and Things a few years back (the pull down type). I would guess that you can find them at Bed Bath and Beyond. I want to say they were around $35 (price depends on window size) and were really easy to install.

For pleated blinds you can find them at JCP, Target, Lowe's, Home Depot. For the roller shades I'm sure you can find them at all the same stores. Roller shades can at least be cut to the size you need, but if your windows are not a standard size, then you will need to order that custom size online. Check out JCP if you are looking for custom. Otherwise for now, I would just get the roll shade so you have the privacy and darkness for her room.

ETA: Marburn Curtains too.

Re: could use some QUICK blinds help

you only need to special order if your window isn't a standard size. What I would do is measure the window and see if you can find the size online but an online store that also has a local store near you so you can see if they have it in stock and pick it up.. JCP is a great recommendation, I saw someone posted about them above.

Another option, we have temporary shades over the windows, they're like a cheap paper shade that sticks to the top of the window. We're waiting for our window treatments to come in so if you do need to order you can buy the temporary paper shades and then put up your real blinds when they come in.
