I am behind and ahead, all at the same time. I finally cleaned my kitchen this weekend and felt inspired to replace the stained fabric in the screen that hides my water heater with the curtains that formerly hid my storage shelves. Then I bought new fabric to make new curtains to hide my storage shelves. I ignored my landing strip to leap ahead to my living room and completely rearranged it after discovering floorplanner.com. That was an amzing breakthrough! I really opened up the flow to my apartment and fixed a lot of problems I was having with that room. Yay! Of course, I am supposed to be focusing on my bedroom for my one-room remedy. Ahead and behind. Behind and ahead.

AKAwhiteknuckles, I have the same issue--limited sunlight. I've been thinking of trying to use either mirrors or some kind of glass (almost like a windchime, but inside) to help reflect it more throughout the room. But I'm not sure if it would work... Anyone else have ideas? I heart the decals, too. The Spring Cure: Clearing The Path Week 2 - Show Tell \| Apartment Therapy Chicago Flag this comment	3/24/10 7:00 PM
craftcafe and lorigame--I want to work on my backyard, too! I guess I'm doing a two-room Cure this time: my bedroom and my yard. Does Apartment Therapy do an outdoor cure? I kept thinking they did, but maybe it was just an outdoor theme to the posts one month. The Spring Cure 2010 Discussion Board \| Apartment Therapy New York Flag this comment	3/14/10 4:22 PM
Also, Maxwell, where did you get those great purple and orange blankets in your after photo? I'm going to tackle my bedroom in the Spring Cure. :-) The Fall Cure: Graduation Two of Two \| Apartment Therapy New York Flag this comment	12/15/09 5:50 PM
I finished, too! I did the Deep Cleaning, so I didn't have any dramatic changes, but I got rid of so much junk I'd been hanging on to. One thing that really resonated with me was in the beginning of the book, Maxwell wrote that we hold onto things because we're afraid that we won't have them if we need them, and we're afraid of asking for help. So I kept that in mind as I de-cluttered. My big accomplishment was getting rid of 14 years' worth of journals I'd been carrying around with me--physically and emotionally--since college. I had used them to work through issues at various points, and it was so cathartic to just rip those pages out and recycle them. I made weekly trips to the Goodwill drop-off across the street. And as I prepared for my party (which, sadly, I had to cancel because of rain), I asked friends if they could lend me some things that I needed. Now, not only do I have a pretty clutter-free apartment, but I feel like I have a new philosophy on what to keep and how to ask for what I need. Thanks!

Where did you get the cute orange and yellow printed tins in your cupboard? Or how did you make them? I love those patterns! Apartment Therapy Re-Nest \| The Green Cure: Lightening Up The Living Room Week 4- Intro Flag this comment	11/3/09 5:24 PM
Where are those illustrations at the top of the post from? I'd so love to get a print. Apartment Therapy San Francisco \| Roundup: Camping at Apartment Therapy Flag this comment	7/9/09 6:31 PM
