crawford153's office after the cure10-4-week-zero.jpgWelcome to AT:LA's Spring Cure 08! This week kicks off the start of Curing our homes, following the eight chapters of our book, Apartment Therapy: The Eight Step Home Cure. Just because LA is hosting doesn't mean that we're confined to LA. All of the Southwest is welcomed and encouraged to join in. That means Phoenix, Santa Fe, Austin, Las Vegas, Baja, Mexico City, San Diego, Provo, Santa Barbara...we want you! So join in for the next eight weeks and repair, declutter and beautify your home with us. Details and first assignment after the cut:

This Week's Assignment: Get your hands on a copy of the book and read through page 69. This gives you all the ground work and gets you started with the interview and short quiz on the health of your home. Remember you can apply the Cure to your whole house or just do a one room remedy.

We'll be posting the week's assignment on Mondays and then checking in with everyone on Thursdays or Fridays to see what's been going on--so comment away and share the successes, the struggles and the solutions! Upload your before pictures and inspiration boards to the Southwest Cure 08 Flickr pool or tag them apartmenttherapycurela.

I'm so excited for this cure! I learned from the past cure and realized that I work best room by room, so I'm going to be doing the one-room cure this time and focus on my bedroom. Though I am slightly ADD, so I might get distracted when whole apartment folks get to bathroom week. :)

The "book blog" link is broken, and all of the links from the "worksheet" page are broken. :(
