Overseas English would sound a bit different.
1 "I'm picky about *my* coffee", would be more common.
2 "I'm choosy (or choosey) when it comes to shoes", would be more common.
3 I'm having a hard time picturing somebody using this phrase... maybe it would be more natural to say, "I'm not particular about those things".
4 Again, not sure I've ever heard that. Perhaps, "I'm decided about my bangs." or "I'm committed to having (or not having) bangs."
5 "I'm fussy when it comes to using peppers", would be more natural.
6 "I'm fastidious about *my* curtains", you can't really be fastidious about *any* curtains.
Sometimes it's hard to explain style in English. It takes a lot of reading and practice.

It's not exactly easy to explain, but they don't sound natural.

Do these phrases [not does]:
1. yes! [coffee]
2. yes
3. yes
4. maybe - sounds v american to me [I'm British]
5. yes
6. yes! although you don't need the word window really....
cheers! :)
