@Jennifer from Meals, Squared Thanks for sharing your pics Jennifer. They are inspiring. Have you considered painting the frames in your entry hall black also? I noticed one was already black.

I'm a little compulsive about my paperwork. Money's super tight, and I absolutely HATE paying late fees for my mistakes. I receive my bills through email (even medical bills) which means less actual paper mail to deal with, and so I immediately file them in their efiles. I pay/schedule all of my bills on or around the 2nd of the month. My Mortgage, car note, and investments are all automatically paid (set up through my bank so that I have control of when to stop payments if necessary). The rest I schedule online (again, through my bank). Therefore I have an e-paper trail going back to about 2004. I have one nice looking leatherette file box for things that I can't do online, but I'm hoping to splurge on a scanner soon. Then that box can hold warranty papers for our bikes and appliances. Oh, I do have a shredder for those questionable papers that come in the mail. Can't be too careful. I warned you, I'm a little compulsive about this.

In attempting to get rid of clothes I've tried several different methods. One that I tried totally backfired. It was the turn your hanger around as you wear your clothes. Well, I wore all my clothes just so that I wouldn't have to give them up. Even though I didn't like how they felt, and I didn't like how I felt in them. NOW, I've tried this new method I believe I heard right here on the Cure. I ask myself the question "Would I purchase this if I saw it in a store right now"? This method works for me. I have a couple of bags full of clothes I was attached to for no good reason. AND, I can reach and see the clothes I really like. YAY the Cure!!!

My bedroom is always tidy but not always clean. We have serious dust bunny issues.

My feeling is if you're renting and something is broken in the home then you most definitely can call the landlord to fix it. It should be part of your lease/rental agreement or contract.

I'm so loving this Cure! On day 4 I was having difficulty removing ugly furniture. Imagine. By the end of the day, after reading all of the blogs, I was so inspired and removed EVERY piece that I didn't like. However, one piece that I love (an iron based round wood topped table) didn't fit in the room. I removed it, and measured to cut the top to a 5 inch smaller diameter. Now it fits! LOVE it. Thank you all for sharing and inspiring.
Today, I adjusted one piece of art "Family Rules". There was space between the title and the first rule "Help Each Other". My husband wanted us to include "Pray Unceasingly" as the first rule, so I used my sharpie and a cool font and wrote it in. You can't tell that it wasn't made that way. Done. So happy.
Now, I'm going to paint an "antique" frame black, and I'll place in it an old Greek cross-stitch that my mom made for my grandma.

Does it count if I cut some holly berry branches from my holly berry bush, or do I have to purchase flowers from the shop?

Six square mirrors from a style I thought I liked. They were hanging in a hallway at the end of stairs. I kept seeing myself walk down the steps and would get freaked out. Have hung a "Family Rules" picture up instead. Also, an undershirt that's just too darn small. 8 cookbooks I've wanted to use for many years and moved several times. Many clothing items, and two pair of shoes. I think I've been wanting to do this for a while.
