I’ve really enjoyed the inspiration [and excuse] to spend time on my home, making it a place I love to be — ever since I first read the Apartment Therapy book five years ago. The first year of this blog, in 2007, things were a little AT heavy around here, as I completed my first [...]

Luckily, I don’t have an office. I simply have a stack of 2 boxes sitting in the corner by my table. Anyway, I’ll be doing week 5 of the cure remotely… from Mexico. :) My first time out of the US since the grand adventure. Week 5 To Do List: Take care of repairs – [...]

What was that? Retail therapy? Yes, please!  So today is the start of week four of the spring cure, and we’re almost half way! The kitchen and entryway are done, and now it’s on to the living room… so yeah, another week with not much to do. Loving the cure this time around, maybe I [...]

… because Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie) was totally thinking about his apartment decor when he wrote A Lack of Color. Ahahaa, anyway… I’m always a little confused about cool vs warm colors and how they mix, so I found this week’s Apartment Therapy reading rather interesting — how certain rooms lend themselves to [...]

Week 3 is all about the hallway/entryway… Translation: I don’t have too much to do this week! :) Last time I did the cure, I found the landing strip week to be fairly quick, and my apartment hasn’t changed too much in the last few years. The only changes being that I sold my hat/coat [...]

I’m fairly awesome…  I got sooo much done this week. :) Now to be honest I’ve only been in my apartment for about four months, so I guess that makes me a little less awesome than some of my cure pals. I knocked out the entire kitchen on Wednesday night, so I could enjoy the [...]

Yesterday was the start of week two of the spring cure.  The first week was super simple compared to this week! So here’s the insane list for this week… and I do believe it will require making lists about lists — which just happens to be one of my hobbies. ;) Week 2 To Do [...]

All successful journeys begin with a positive vision. This post is part of my Apartment Therapy Spring Cure 2010, so if you’re not keen to follow along then come back in 8 weeks. ;) Now, for some honesty… I didn’t actually do anything cure-ish this week, but perhaps that’s because I already have a “vision” [...]

A reminder to my home decor pals that the Apartment Therapy Spring Cure starts tomorrow (Monday, March 15, 2010)! It’s been about 3 years since I did the cure, so it should be fun to give it another go… although it really shouldn’t be too much work this time around, as I’ve been pretty sparing [...]

I finally bought a bed! :) I feel like such a grown up — my first bed purchase. And after hosteling for a year, and then sleeping on the floor for [almost] a year, it’s nice to finally have a bed again. Now I get to complain about mattress manufacturers and retailers… #1. Having several [...]
