apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

This weekend, if you haven't done so already, cook one meal in your kitchen. Baked eggs is a great choice for brunch for one, two or a crowd that looks super fancy but is actually easy. We make 'em in muffin tins. And pasta, of any kind, is easy enough for even non-cooks

The weekend, when you're probably spending more time in your home, is also a good time to observe what you're doing in each room or when you're frustrated because you'd like to be doing something and can't for whatever reason. When we did the cure, we noticed how we wanted to read in the living room but first, we'd need a place to do that and some light to read by. Onto the shopping list went a couch and some lamps. Also when you're moving stuff to the outbox temporarily (don't be shy about using it, it's an amazing tool that we continue to use), check where it's coming from. Do you like that the mail piles up on the kitchen counter? if you don't, think about creating another place for it.
