I love it! And I love that I can just straight to the Supplies section - I always loved the articles that focused on pantry needs and tools. And I'll definitely be utilizing the Seasons tab on the left.
Nice job.

I second the request on how to keep bees!

Oh, I can't wait for people to ask if Portland is just like Portlandia. Can't wait.

You have to consider the efficiency of the unit to determine if it's beneficial. I've lived in a house with both a wood stove and a fireplace and the wood stove heated the room far better than the fireplace.

You also have to consider the region you live in. Some areas do not have easy access to seasoned wood and some areas are, well, forests.

I love the stove I have in my home and it does an amazing job of heating the house. But I also use my paper trash as fire starter and use firewood from a family-friend's acreage. Nothing beats it.

(you can also easily install a pellet stove that runs off of pellets made from wood waste)

This is a big weekend for me! I plan on catching up on all those bits and pieces I've had to put off. Repairs will be made, the outbox's items will be recycled or donated, the papers will finally get filed (I ran out of folders!) that clutter up my desk and the bathroom will get a good deep clean as I go through everything that has found its way there.

I can think of no better motivator than the bath I plan to take Sunday night in my fresh, clean and organized bathroom!

If it weren't for the weekly posts and inspirations, I could never get through these 8 weeks. I'm so happy with how things are coming together! Thank you!

@AmberFirecracker: Unfortunately, there is no room for a table. The width of the entry way is about the width of the door itself! (with a few inches of extra room)

I think I may brainstorm how to create a suitable landing pad in the kitchen area. It is really the only potential place for my purse, grocery bags and coats to land.

This will take some crafting, but I'll get there!

Thanks for your help!

This Cure season couldn't have come at a more perfect time for me.

I hope to create a space that is both relaxing and reviving. Like that feeling you get after a serious yoga session where 5 minutes ago you were drained and lying on the floor feeling your breath calm you down and 5 minutes from now you will feel full of life, recharged. (I hope I can make it happen)

I also hope to use this Cure to rid my place of all the old college furniture/kitchenware I "aquired" and move on to more personal, complimentary pieces. It's time to feel more adult. :)

Thank you!

Do they have rugs in their target collection?

I prefer the Romantic style while my parents do the minimal/modern look.

Thus, our tree this year is covered in blue lights, white glass bulbs and all the handcrafted/tchotchke ornaments that I love and fought to have on the tree.

The night we decorate the tree is very interesting...

But now, I can at least understand the sides we both come from.

Yellow Yellow Yellow. Paint the cabinets and the above walls yellow! It will pair well with the black and white and match the red of the bar as well.

I think by continuing the color from the cabinets to the ceiling, it will make the room seem so much larger and warmer.

Good Luck! :)
