Bedskirt

I found a bedskirt in the storage trunk that I believe my grandmother gave me to me when I got married. I'd just never used it. I probably would have never found it if I hadn't reupholstered the storage trunk. I hadn't opened it in years. Anyway, the bedskirt matches the navy and white nautical theme, and also hides the unsightly concrete blocks holding up our DIY bed frame. I am greatly pleased.

Reupholstered Ottoman & Trunk

I had a small purple ottoman from my college days in my closet. I'd spilled some juice on it and stained it, but I didn't want to let it go because I have difficulty throwing things away that I deem could possibly be useful in the future. It found its use 10 years later.

I was really fond of our new curtain pattern so I picked up a couple of extra panels and reupholstered the small ottoman and our larger storage trunk to match the curtains in the master bedroom. I did the small ottoman first since it really wouldn't be a loss if I messed it up, and when that turned out okay, I moved on to the larger storage trunk.

Rearranging the Master Bedroom

We moved the furniture around and switched out some furniture from the guest bedroom and master bedroom. I like the new arrangement. This is before we put up wall decor, which I still need some more of.

Master Bedroom Small Update

We found a new sturdier curtain rod that better supported the heavier curtains. Sadly, it wasn't on clearance, but I'd rather not have curtains falling on my head while I'm asleep.

I found these small canvas prints at Walmart for under $4 each. I plan on putting them above the nightstands.

Unexpected Hiatus + New Curtains

My brother-in-law who lived in Ohio ended up homeless at the beginning of August, and he really needs to be in a group home for a developmental disability that makes him unable to live on his own. We've taken him in temporarily while we try to get everything for him sorted out here in Texas. So life has been kind of crazy over the past 2 months with having a new person living under our roof and all the paperwork and whatnot.

Anyway, things have calmed down some, and I've been keeping an eye out for decor deals. We haven't gone thrift shopping lately sadly, but I did find some clearance curtains for the master bedroom! Previously, you could see through the curtains easily in daylight.

With the new curtains, it's less noticeable, and they're a much nicer material.

However, we need to find a sturdier curtain rod to stop the bowing in the middle and move the bed forward a bit to settled the curtains behind it. Overall, though, I'm pretty pleased with how they look. I might like to get a valance at some point, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for in one yet. Nothing I've seen so far really stands out to me.
