I finally got around to changing the bedroom curtains. The old ones were not possible to wash any more. We live near farms and the dust they kick up settles on everything and gets impregnated into the cloth. One also had the beginning of mold growth.

I had bought the new blackout curtains plus those sheer curtains that go close to the window probably two months ago, but could not get motivated to actually get around to it. Finally, yesterday, I got sick of looking at all the dust and grossness and took care of it. I cleaned the wall too and the hooks that had pet hair and dust on them.

It looks so much better. The new blackout curtain also blocks out light better, so we don't see lights like car headlights when we are trying to sleep. The material is thicker and should help keep the room warmer with the upcoming winter cold.

I was still a bit sad because the first thing we did when we moved into this house was installing those curtains.
