My only addition is good sounds! My amour has vintage audio gear set into a midcentury wall unit in his room, and it's my new favorite place to listen to music.

thanks AT, I enjoyed doing this Cure. Each week was a good combination of the hard work of purging, cleaning, organizing, with the fun, creative parts -- picking out paint colour, setting up the office, cooking something nice, and FLOWERS! congrats to all!

Thanks for the inspiration! I went through my movies, books, CDs and albums, applying your tests, and have three boxes to donate to a yardsale my office is having to raise money for Christmas hampers.

Our media collection vice is LPs. I have 2000, my partner has probably at least another 1000. It's a constant struggle to keep the collection organized, tidy, and pared to things we most want to keep.

Still, I feel after today that our living space is clearer and nicer to be in. We even sat down this evening and watched a movie together, which we haven't felt inspired to do in some time.

OK my partner and I have a dispute about Week 3 - Landing Strip. I say things need to go into baskets and drawers (eg drawer for returning videos, library books; basket for gloves, umbrellas) so our entry isn't completely amok; he says if things are put away he forgets about them. Has anybody resolved this dilemma/dispute?

I have about 2000 LPs, and tend to bring 5-10 more into our home each week. I've become much less attached to books and other media, keeping a small number of each and giving away most. But culling my vinyl is tough...made worse since when I'm ready to eliminate some albums, my partner will go through them and add them to HIS collection....so it ends up taking a tour of our apartment but never leaving....sigh...

Rainforest by Aveda has a crisp, outdoorsy scent.

We are SOO ready for this renewal! let's go!

It's interesting to me to see the dichotomy/class war here between tenants and landlords. I've been both, and live now in a co-op; we pay rent and earn no equity, but 'own' our unit and can vote and participate in maintenance, budget, decor, energy, landscaping, etc. decisions. I wanted a low-water use toilet, asked, and got it (I did not pay). I wanted to paint and change window decor, and got it (I did pay). I think it's unfortunate, in the property-owner vs. renter paradigm, that we have to end up leaving decisions that profoundly affect not only our daily lives, but the planet, to market forces. I'm happy we've managed to break free from that.
