How'd you do this week? Did you take any time this week to take care of yourself? We got a chance to clean out our bathroom and tonite, we plan to take a long soak and enjoy it. How about your lighting? Is it working for you? As Laure pointed out, sometimes all it takes are a few well-placed lamps to move your home from so-so to superb.

I know! My living room ceiling is cavernous... I don't understand it, but I like it.
I also like Ramonah's pink bedroom & phone room!
adorable phone room! love it! :)
i am tragically behind and struggling with my inner quitter. I had a fender bender last week and have been stressing out about repairs, rentals, and the looming deductible to be paid.
On the good side, we got away to San Diego for a couple of days and have returned a little more inspired. My aunt and uncle have done a lot of work to their place since I lived there and gave me hope that I can make things happen in my own place. We also had a chance to go to the Container Store where we checked out closet organizing systems and got a new shower caddy and laundry drying rack. Yay!
I have two days of my vacation left and am trying really hard to get back on track. I'm planning on checking out some paint colors for the living room and bedroom. I guess, even if I don't "finish," I know that things feel better here and all of the Small is Cool entries have really kept the cure on my mind, if not in action.
I just posted about our progress: http://thestylishnest.com/2008/04/apartment-therapy-cure-week-6/
It's been great to think about what we want to do, and just over all getting things cleared out and cleaned up! :)
