I have been thinking of adding cafe curtains to my windows for over a year. I finally gave it a try! I don’t know what I was waiting for, it’s not a life-altering decision. It’s just a pressure rod and a cafe curtain (and some curtain rings!). Ha!
I’m glad I finally listened to my heart. I love it! I like the window without it, too, so I wasn’t certain I needed to try it. I wasn’t in a hurry. But my heart kept asking! This curtain panel set is not expensive and will be simple to remove or change if I decide it’s not right for me later. Now that I love it, I might even add them to the dining room!
Why not?
Decorating should be fun.
Our home should be a reflection of the things we love.
I was sharing with my HomeBody Gathering Place community last week that when it comes to our home, I think it’s always worth listening to our heart. We don’t have to change everything based on a whim, but there’s a reason our heart is drawn to certain things. It’s good to explore what it is and sometimes you can find a reasonable or “less risky” way to follow your heart.
If there isn’t a big risk to making that decision or in giving something a try, what do you have to lose? What’s the worst that could happen? If you can live with that, it might be worth the risk. Or look for a similar alternative that still inspires you.
There are definitely some decisions where it might make more sense to “play it safer” and others to not be so worried about!
A home should tell our story, so I think it’s worth finding ways to let your heart speak so you can decorate with what you really love.
