Why no art above the bed?

My work on the Cure this time around has been piecemeal, and definitely not on schedule! I'm hoping to post some pics this week and next. This is what I've done so far (a few things...

Making my traditional granola, buttercrunch toffee, and spicy mixed nuts (a new addition this year).

This is seriously the best recipe in the world. I made an apple pie with it this weekend and the crust was perfect. I will note that I used all butter instead of butter/shortening. Perhaps that'...

I'm a little behind due to travel, but I've got some buyers for my two large Craigslist items this weekend -- my old TV and huge desk. After that happens, I'll have more space to move things aroun...

Major major major declutter. And make some final decisions about re-arranging furniture -- decor will fall into place after that. I painted during the spring cure, but the walls have been sadly e...

Oops -- I'm in NYC.

I'm in again -- woo hoo!

Oh, and here are my before pics, from way back in the fall: http://www.flickr.com/photos/97955589@N00/sets/72157601...

I'd say I'm in the "will be done" category. Everyone has been great, but especially Alana in Canada and suziegoombs. I'm once again out of town, which means no more progress this week, but I've go...

I did everything so out of order that I had people over a few weeks back! (It went really well, but it took me three days to do all the dishes). I was in London last week and headed to Minneapolis...

Sigh. I had a crazy week -- I had a dinner party last Sunday and it literally took me all week to finish the dishes. The weekend was a whirlwind of social events, so not much progress, and I'm of...

Thanks, Lizzy! My only complaint is that it's sort of a brushed nickel (or something) and everything else is a high polish chrome. I'll chalk it up to impatience and awkward space constraints -- t...

Well, I'm certainly in good shape on the bathroom front with a new light fixture ,

My comment was supposed to say "My enormous TV cabinet went off to its new home, leaving me with all of its contents to sort thro...

Not much progress this week, I'm afraid, although I've kept up with the flowers (not sure why I love having ...

As Maxwell mentioned, I was off in Maine this weekend, so no progress to report. Nice work to all! This week is crazy with work events and such, so in addition to saying goodbye to my...

this would certainly make a huge dent in my Cure progress!

No pictures this week, I'm afraid, as not much has changed since the weekend. I'm warming up to the lime green bathroom/striped shower combo you've pictured -- so much so that I think I'm going to...

The painting is done -- hooray!!!! I was thrilled to have my couch back. Overall, I'm very happy with the outcome, although still a little skeptical about the lime green bathroom. It's certainly ...
