Great reminder that I need to pick up a less bright+warmer toned bulb for my new bedside lamp. And remember NOT to throw old bulbs in the trash - especially not energy-saving ones!! Day 17: Looking at Living Room Lighting Apartment Therapy January Cure |

I have an empty binder sitting in my cabinet waiting for all the important papers - not that I have many, but now that (for the first time in my life) my name is on an insurance policy AND an apartment lease, I need to get my binder together :) Day 14: Get Papers & Files in Order Apartment Therapy January Cure |

Phew. This won't be hard at all for me. I just bought a new mattress 2 weeks ago, so it's still very fresh and clean. I also washed my duvet and pillows at the same time, so they're fresh too. And I put on new bedlinen yesterday - so this is an easy-peasy weekend for me. I'll spend my time unpacking the last boxes from my moving, getting rid of more stuff (hopefully) and make things nice. Oh - and I'm planning on going to IKEA on my day off on Monday.... Day 13: Weekend Chores - Flowers & Bedroom Apartment Therapy January Cure |

Managed to squeeze (ehem: arrange) all my booksinto one bookshelf - used to need two. About 20 are sitting in a bag to go with me to the charity shop this afternoon with some stuff from my outbox. I need to get all my cd:s transferred into my computer before I can weed through them - since I don't even have a proper cd player I think I'll get rid of all of them :) Day 12: Declutter Books & Media Apartment Therapy January Cure |

You read my mind! I just finished my project this morning (evening here already...). My bookshelf that until today was bright (BRIGHT) red is now a relaxing white-going-on-beige and ready for all my books when the paint has set properly (tomorrow evening).

I love this! When I was 16 my mum trusted me to re-paint my own room in whatever way I fancied - I painted the celing a wonderful murky dark green, in each corner of the room i used the same colour to create a big tree (stem and branches, no leaves) from floor to ceiling, and the walls in between a creamy white. I loved that room, and I love trees indoors. How To Make Big Tree Statement Murals |

I already have the mirror, a small shelf for shoes, key hangers and use the top of my dresser (which is in the landing strip and holds all my folded clothes) as a mitten/hat/wallet area. Need to put a few nice bowls for change and misc items I carry around in my bag, but also need when I'm at home (aka lipstick...). I hang my coat in my built-in closet, which is also in the landing strip, and also holds my outbox. So this is pretty much done for me if I find a few nice bowls!

Quick update: after unpacking all of my kitchen stuff, outbox-ing a great deal of it, cleaning lots of dishes & putting everything in its place I now have a kitchen (even though it's not really a kitchen, its one of the corners of my 1-room apt/studio). Thrilled to be able to actually cook/eat in my (new) home :) Day 8: Weekend Chores - Flowers, Kitchen Cleaning & Make Yourself a Meal Apartment Therapy January Cure |

Friday! I got a major head start on this weekend's chores, because: my flowers are still looking awesome, I just moved in this wednesday so my kitchen is still spotless (since I haven't used it yet) and I'm doing a massive decluttering as I unpack, and yesterday I picked up ingredients for the latest chickpea/carrot salad recipe on 101coookbooks.com Day 8: Weekend Chores - Flowers, Kitchen Cleaning & Make Yourself a Meal Apartment Therapy January Cure |

I just moved in to a new place, and two friends just got a place pretty much across the street, so we're planning a double moving-in party with dinner at their place and cocktails/dancing at mine. First weekend of Feb is already fully booked with parties in our circle of friends, but the next one after that has to be it! Whoop whoop!

@PGF Try using a big, soft makeup brush - like a powder or blush brush ( clean and dry, ofcourse) to gently sweep.the dust off of your painting. Day 6: Choose a Piece of Artwork & Get Going on Framing It Apartment Therapy January Cure |

I'm a student, so for me everything is about staying within my limited budget. I get my frames at flea markets and thrift stores, they're usually quite pretty and cheap too. As for what goes inside the frames I use posters, postcards, thrifted finds and hand-me-down art work from my mother's house. It's definitly possible to have a home covered in artwork without spending very much at all - it's mostly just a matter of knowing what you like/want and being a bit creative with your thrift store finds :) Day 6: Choose a Piece of Artwork & Get Going on Framing It Apartment Therapy January Cure |
