Re: A quick update on commenting at Apartment Therapy 📣
I think the problem arises with submissions from professionals, or people who say they are professionals, who enthuse (brag) about design choices that readers find questionable. It's my sense that the most critical comments come in response to the use of AT submissions as essentially free advertising for designers, stagers, and short-term rental units.
Re: What should we do with this wall?
Oooo I wonder if you could do the IKEA shoe rack hack I did to mimic the feel of floor-to-ceiling bookshelves? You can add as many rows as you need and fully configure their shelves and spacing. You would need to drill holes in the ceiling so they are supported, but I think it would work for your situation. Here's what it looks like:
I wrote about the process on AT here ☺️

Only have two drawers in the kitchen, one is organized with silverware and the other is junk. I purchased the wooden adjustable dividers as the cardboard ones failed. No maybe box, any duplicates and anything I do not regularly use was put on the donation table in my senior citizens apartment building. Gone in less than 2 hours.

Took a big bag of clothing to the thrift store, getting a quick start on clearing the outbox.

I declutter my antique vanity in my bedroom. Nothing went into my outbox, instead all the old makeup, dried up lotions, sample packets went right into the trash. When I went to put the first drawer back in I realized that there were papers stuck in the back. I pulled out pages from my old date book from 1993!!!! It felt so good to get rid of all the old stuff.
Re: January Cure 2026 Discussion
Today I'm taking the Christmas tree down and putting all the holiday ornaments back in their bins and in the basement (in an organized fashion - note to self! :)). I've signed up for the Cure in the last 2-3 years but this is the first time my ADHD mind is catching the start of it! Looking forward to an uncluttered home and following everyone's progress!
Re: January Cure 2026 Discussion
Hello Everyone,
I have really been enjoying getting rid of 101 things before the challenge begins. I thought it was going to be impossible until I started. Next, I am tackling the hair accessories storage with rollers, ties and other cosmetic things.
Re: January Cure 2026 Discussion
Moved into a new home a few months ago, so I am excited for the Cure! It will help me finish unpacking the last boxes and organize the last piles of stuff that haven’t been put away (and hopefully I’ll get rid of a little more along the way!!) Plus it will feel new to follow along since I’ve never done the Cure in this house! Maybe we’ll also finally finish painting one or two of the remaining rooms.

My bedroom needs to be decluttered and overhauled so it can be a cozy and relaxing space. That’s my BIG project!
