omg... they look like the cards from The Amazing Mackerel Pudding Plan! If they're the same cards this may be a project only for the sick and twisted with stomachs of steel. The Amazi...

I'm rather amused by it, although not for standard, out in the open walls. Possibly the inside of a bedroom or bathroom closet, or, if one was feeling crafty, lining the inside of a dresser.

That is AWESOME! The color choices, the proportions of the stripes... it's all stunning.

First of all, that's an AWESOME chair! But, yeah... it's currently looking a little disconnected. I also agree about starting with new throw pillows. The currently ones are too earth...

I have hardwood floors and a cat--I have to sweep daily to keep on top of the cat fur. Even without a cat I think every 2 weeks would be a major stretch. Before my cat I was sweeping once a week ...

Some friends of mine were in town for another friend's wedding and I had offered up floor space to crash on (not glamorous, but several of them didn't have great jobs so it beat paying for a hotel ...

My cat's a weirdo and only chews on plants to get my attention so I don't know how much cat grass would help matters. My friend's cat has a crazy obsession with bean plants--she wasn't too interes...

It has an almost dorm-room feel to it, but I still prefer it to the generic floral prints you see at a lot of budget hotels. It's not high-end design (but who really expects that from a cheap hote...

I have one cat and use pine litter (used Feline Pine for a while, then found a cheaper generic that was the same thing). I tried the clumping pine first and that was a disaster--tracked EVERYWHERE...

I don't see how this shows more of a disregard for the poor than, say, someone spending several thousand to redo a bathroom with high end materials (possibly a copper sink?) and electronics and wha...

I LOVE that standing planter in the top picture... does anyone know where I can find one? Now that I've gotten that out of my system, it's really a lovely transformation! Subtle, but ...

There's nothing wrong with a bit of geek-chic! For day time window coverings, what about something like a cut out wood screen? Not terribly budget friendly unfortunately... but you ma...

Lovely! You've done an amazing job, especially with a small budget. I LOVE the giant poppy stickers on the fridge (Ikea, right? How removable are they?)

I love your use of color! The place has loads of personality without feeling cluttered with knick-knacks... the last picture freaked me out though (I LOVE insects but spiders terrify me).

The minimalism isn't quite to my taste, but I completely understand your desire to emphasize those amazing ceilings! I just love the tile in the bathroom though, and am incredibly jealous of that ...

Fabulous! I love your use of color and you've used the space brilliantly.

The most common advice going around seems to be "don't worry if you don't get everything done." I found the cure to be a great motivator and way to keep myself on task, but I didn't get everything...

Well I guess I'll kick this off (come on people, I know I'm not the only one representing MN!). I did the cure for the first time this past fall and wasn't planning on joining in again since I'm p...

It depends on what kind of mood I'm already in when I start to clean... but typically i end up cleaning later at night and playing something I can rock out to, like The Dropkick Murphys or The Whit...

I totally hadn't planned on joining in the spring cure since I'm planning on moving in june... but then I figured this is a good excuse to do some pre-move prep and start downsizing and begin creat...
