Decisions, Decisions

I need to make a decision that will change the world.  Well, my world at least.  Is anybody else out there a horrible decision maker when it comes to something as simple as a shower curtain in your home?  Seriously, what is wrong with me?  We're repainting the bathroom and have put in a new counter top and do you think I can make up my mind about a shower curtain.  Hubby is ready to roll, as in the paint, and I have yet to decide.  Although the walls will be a neutral color, the trouble, I think may be in the fact that I want to go a total different color with the accessories, from my usual neutrals and greens


 to browns and blues.



 I think I'm afraid to take the plunge of change.  Maybe it's the fact that a decent shower curtain nowadays runs a pretty penny and if I change color that means I'll have to splurge for new towels too. But I love a new fluffy towel. But what if I decide that what I had is what I like better?  But what I had is probably at least 10 years old.  See how I drive myself nuts?  Lots of "buts" in there. Where is my oldest when I need her.  She makes up her mind within a second and rarely, if ever, rethinks her decision.  I need some of that to rub off on me.

 Sigh.  I create such dilemma for myself.. Such a silly little thing that causes such waffling and second guessing, yet I'm good with making the bigger decisions of life.  What is up with that?   I must not have enough drama in my life.  Or something.

Of the two choices you gave, I like the first one the best but neither would be my choice. If your walls are neutral, why not go with a bold color for the curtain? I bought mine at General Dollar..not expensive at all.

I am the same way with decorating decisions -- thinking up all the ramifications. Or I do get a vision in mind of what I want, but then can't find anything like it.

You are so much like me! I tend to like plain white or white with just a couple of colors. my current one is from Target and it was less than $15. It is a soft cotton with a couple of pink, blue, and purple flowers on it (as in just like 3 flowers, plus a dragonfly and a butterfly in each corner. the flowers have a green stem. ) so I splurge on the nicer towels in the colors of the shower curtain. I'd go with white...ya can't go wrong!!

i am a fast decision maker too. it drives me crazy to not have things settled. i just deal with the ramifications later when there are some. it's just how i am. i wish i could take more time sometimes.

and you have a different personality, susanne.and that's cool too. there is strength in being able to really pursue your options.

but i hear your dilemna. for what it's worth, i say go with your gut instinct.let us know what you decide.

Oh I can relate. It seems I can make big decisions easier than ones such as these. I take some comfort in knowing I'm not alone. LOL

Do share what you decide!

I'm the worst at making decorating decisions, which is why my house never really matches. I tend to change direction midstream! I so wish I could be one of those people who could make a decision and stick with it, and everything was settled.

I love both of the prints you're showing. The second one really catches my eye, it's so fresh.
