This place has the makings of a great apartment. I don't really want to move because of that. Money is an issue so I would just be satisfied with clean, warm and supportive of my life. I would love physical help. Any ideas? - mmmmj

Welcome to everyone who signed up for AT:LA's Spring 08 Eight Step Cure, as well as to the shy ones who want to follow along unofficially. We're going to follow the eight chapters of our book, Apartment Therapy: The Eight Step Home Cure, with the goal of making each of our homes beautiful, healthy and organized. Our job here at AT will be to champion you, guide you and connect you with other curees. More info, and this week's assignment, after the jump...

We'll be posting the week's assignment on Mondays. On Thursdays, we'll check in to see how you're doing and help you over your hurdles. Share your successes, your struggles, and your solutions with us. We will be pulling your comments and your pics to the front page each week, so post your pictures to the LA/Southwest Flickr pool or simply tag them with "apartmenttherapycurela." See pics from past cures here for inspiration.

This Week's Assignment: Get your hands on a copy of the book and read through page 69. This gives you all the groundwork: it gets you started with the interview and a short quiz on the health of your home (links to worksheets below) and starts you working on your style tray.

You can check out the other home sites to see how they're doing too::

Are you ready? Okay, let's go!

Should we sign up again if our names aren't on the list above? Maybe I didn't fill in the form correctly.

No it is not installed wrong. The zipper happens to wrap around the edge for some reason.

I'm not on the above list either, so I just signed up again. But, to keep things totally confusing, I'm Crawford153 on Flickr. :)

Does anyone know those blue and tan pillows are from? I love them and have been looking for something similar. Thanks

I got the pillow from a shop in Atlanta 3 years ago and they used to have them on welldressedhome.com but I haven't seen them recently. Sorry
