I have curtains in my house for last 10 years since i have purchased the home. I am getting bored by seeing the same curtains for last 10 years but since they are still looking so well that i do not dare to replace it soon. But some times i do feel that if the conditions remain same then i would not get a chance to buy new curtains. Sometimes a change is must in life so we have decided finally to change the old curtains and buy the new one. But we will not throw away the older one because the old is gold. As far as possible we will try to preserve it.What will you do in such situation.

hi roshigo, after ten year, i think the curtains must be shaded due to regular light and washing, it is better to change the curtains and do not throw them out side, they can be used as bed spread and can be used also to cover any items, and they also also used as blanket just like that,still you does not wish to use them,you can give it any poor man they can be used them for sleeping,have a nice day.

Yeah curtains are very expensive today and I feel you have very good curtain that have lasted till now. I have curtains from last 2 years and they are doing well. They have cost me lot also. I have a feeling that when you change curtains, it is good sometimes. it gives the room a new look. So when you keep the old ones, for a change you can switch each other whenever you want. thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

That's exactly what I was going to say! Changing curtains makes a big difference in a room. It's less expensive than painting or buying new furniture yet it makes such a big difference. And it brightens the room up quite a bit. Roshigo - Have fun shopping for new curtains!

If I had the money to replace the curtains, then that would definitely be something that I would be willing to do. The reason that I would replace the curtains would be because I sometimes think that replacing a little something in the house will give the house a whole new life. When it comes to the curtains, they are something that is relatively inexpensive, but it will very well add some happiness to your life. I tend to feel that variety is the spice of life.

Certain things hat we have for a long time do have some memories attached to it. I for one, is someone that sees every piece as a reminder of something or someone. If it is a reminder of something happy in the past, I keep. If not, I'd rather get rid of it.

If the curtain is still good, I don't dispose it. We can use it in some other ways. But if it would occupy much space we can give it our relatives or friends who might be needing those things also. Personally, I can recycle it to be use for other purposes.

Most of us have lot of old things in our house and interested in selling or replacing them. Some of us have some sentiments with some old thing and not interested in selling them. It is good to replace the old things and decorate our house with the new things. Our house will get a new look after replacing the old things. There is nothing wrong in this replacement, since changes are must in most of the sort. We will get bored by seeing the same things again and again. Recently i replaced some of the old furniture in my house, now my house is looking different and most of my friends told that my house is looking excellent after this change. Also we can replace the old curtains, wall hangings and internal decorations once in a while to give a new look to our house. This new change will give some refreshment and new energy to us and we will get a new vibration while seeing the new things and do our work with extra enthusiasm. If you are getting bored with some thing, just try out the replacement, surely the new change will give a new energy to you and you will do most of your work with a new motivation after replacing the old unwanted things, some times we are tired while seeing the old things and lost our energy with it, so this kind of changes is required for every one to get motivation.

Well that a pleasant change , In my current apartment is the first time living on my own and I bought some curtain and I have not change them yet . I would tell myself next month but never get around to buying new ones . Sometimes we have to make a change even if we are attach to something , and you can keep the old curtain and used them back sometimes .

Hello! yes its good to change curtains to a new one. If you have much money i so nice to feel to have a new curtains because it create a new look to your home. You feel refresh of replacing it. But if you don't have enough budget having 2 to 3 sets of curtains in your home is good enough to make look good. As long that you have curtains.

What do the curtains look like? Are they washable? If the fabric is in good condition you could dye the curtains and make them look new.

my curtains are 4 years old and still have not flinch but I still have some spare and when you can change them. the best solution to buy another set of curtains and keep them for new ones. because nowadays it is quite expensive and sometimes harchime not have money. so just know that as soon as the old have been preserved and clean means new. nice day!

The old is precious not because they are old,but because they are full of our old stories. We are always hard to forget the old,the mainly reason for which is that we are obsessed with our old time. On the other hand,being willing to change and accepting new things are symbles of loving life.
