Totall. Janets cure got me to have my bathroom painted and sending a todo list to my landlord. I am already thinking about having the other 200 ft sq place painted, too. Big difference!!!

In my 322 sq feet I went wireless on music and toothbrush.. with big jawbone and oral b. I do all charging at my landing strip (chargers have their own box so stay hidden when not in use). I also used twisties to make the three cords for lamps plugged in, not such an eye sore. I look forward to investigating some more options!

I organized my book collection last weekend (instead of scrubbing the kitchen) and organized by color from white at the top of the shelf to black at the bottom. Have a bunch of books in my out box (waiting for a dry day to leave on the curb). The process helped me really think about which books I actually want in my collection. Another thing I did was move cookbooks to the kitchen, herbal books to my apothocary and art books to my studio area.

Well, my project was supposed to be boldly paintin my small interior bathroom (no window) an olive brown. After painting another part of the wall I decided I prefer bright white, really, so my project has changed! Tonight I am picking up a huge (5 ft high by 3 ft wide) mirror for my entry/kitchen which I expect will really work nicely. 1/8 of my 322 sqft apt is the entry/landign. Photos to come soon!

I am going to take a big risk ... and paint my bathroom an olive green with paint left over from another project. I have been looking at the test spot on the wall and I think I can do it in a half a day this weekend .. I have several pieces of my own art that I will have framed and promise to share before and after photos!


Day 5: Select One Project from Your List to Complete this Month Apartment Therapy January Cure

Hello! I echo the request for the earlier therapy email!

I am doing this January Cure along side The Eight Step Home Cure, so the timing is perfect!

Making my list yesterday of projectes around my 322 square-foot home was a lot harder than getting the outbox going this morning!

My outbox is my favorite thing home accessory! The container changes shape as things pass through the door. Right now it is a pretty flowered box with some unopened personal care products inside, a bike lock with only one key, and a duplicate piece for the food processor!

My guests love going through what they call the "give away" pile by the door when they are on their way home, and almost always take something home with them!

What works for me 100 percent of the time is to send out invitations to a party when I start a project .. so that I have a real deadline!
