I have used the homework assignments more as motivating suggestions than fixed goals, which has worked extremely well for me. Example: I may not have a perfectly clean kitchen, but I did clean the fridge and got some art hung on the kitchen walls! I've loved this Cure, and definitely hope there will be more like this rather than the very brief ones that have been done recently. Thank you, Janel and everyone else!

My big project last year was remaking our spare bedroom into my home office, and it was 90% finished heading into the new year. Hanging art is the last big piece of the project to finish - then only one small and one tiny task left and it will be completely finished. I am (almost) deliriously happy!!

Hi Monet419. I don't have an entryway either, so I've got my system spread out in 3 places - a bowl for keys, wallets, etc, with a shelf for mail below. Purse in tv armoire across the room. Coats in closet in the next room. It works really well for me, though my husband still dumps his stuff on the dining room table and I put it away later. I told him he should spend some time today thinking through whether there is something else we should do to make the system work better for him. Fingers crossed!

Last year I went on a photo-framing spree, and started framing photos of family, travel, friends, etc and hanging them from the walls, propping them up on bookcases. We've gone from a nearly photo-free house to one that is starting to fill with our memories and reminders of some of our favorite people. It's been a fabulous change, and one that I've planned to continue as a few of the projects that I've identified for my Cure. As we speak, the photos my sister chose for me to hang of her and my bro-in-law are on their way to me, and others that I've selected for development are at the shop and ready for pick-up. So excited to keep moving this project along!

So fabulous. You've created so much mood and interest with just a few neutral colors. I love it!

The black/white/yellow combo is not one of my favorites, but even I can appreciate how well you've done with it here. The best part to me? Great light fixtures in each room.

So many beautiful touches - the candle holders on the dining room table, the bowls for the cacti. The whole place seems so well loved.
