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.
