apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


The Fall Cure: Join Us Next Week!

10-1-fallcure-book.jpgNext week, we pick up speed, but we're getting in gear today. This always works best to start slowly and pick up speed as we go.

The official sign up will be posted on Monday.

Starting next week we're going to form online Cure groups dedicated to making at least ONE home improvement — major or minor — in the next eight weeks. All the information will be right here on our front page. This basic Cure requires minimal expense as it takes you from room to room and helps you declutter, organize and clean your home.

Offline, our book, Apartment Therapy, will help lead you through the eight weeks. Check out all our links below...

The Cure posts will go up twice a week on Mondays and Fridays, allowing for plenty of comment space. We will be pulling comments and pics to the front page post each week and everyone is urged to take pics and post them to this great Flickr pool or simply tag them with "apartmenttherapycure." See our old pics here too.

I never got my certificate last time. I had houseguests and a party. Even fixed that messed up kitchen backsplash...

I was really amazed when I observed everyone accomplish so much during the spring cure this year. It made me realise that I really need to do the same thing in my home and so I have purchased the book and I await its delivery!

Not only is it going to be good for my home, but it's also such a great support system! I can't wait!
I'll probably end up having a Festivus party at the end of it. Something I've been looking forward to for a long long time.

This sounds like fun. I'm in MAJOR declutter mode!

Yay! I just finished reading the book and am finally motivated to finish pulling my apartment together (6 months after I moved in)!

I'm doing it. I always get SO much done and I feel so good about it. It's a real focusing tool to do this.

I'm definitely in! I have a bath remodel to finish up as well as some general things to perk up about the place. Mine will be a soft start though as we head to Maui next Monday for one week. I'll try to post 'before' bath pictures before we go. They are so gruesome that I shudder to make them public!

I love the AT group Cure. Thanks for bringing it back, Maxwell and the AT team. And It's good to see you in again, Pixie!

ZOMG! WAIT!
Maxwell, before we start the Fall Cure, can we get the worksheet links fixed?

The ones here: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/at-book/the-cure-the-worksheet-collection-is-up-007835
Don't work. And haven't worked for a very long time.
I think it's about time to fix that. :)

yay!! I'm so in!! I went with my mom to buy gorgeous dupioni silk fabric for curtains and pillow covers last week, and have acquired an entertainment center and dresser since last year which are really working well in my space!

I've been working on my studio apartment for almost a year, inspired by Apartment Therapy! I started by re-doing my Kitchenette and now I'm ready for the push to the finish! I love the decorating part, but am really bad at the decluttering! I need the fall cure! Can't wait!

hmmm . . . not much money (read that as zero) and a lot of other things going on as well. I may do a somewhat modified Cure -- or tie it into revamping the laundry/cat room that I can't wait to get my fingers into. Yea for curing!

I'm not signing up this time and I never manage to follow along, but I still need to cure my apartment. I have the book so I may loosely follow along, but need to spend less time online ;)

Yay, I have been looking forward to this. I signed up for the Fall cure last year and wimped out, but this time I'm really going to do it.

I got the book today! I'm in a very dangerous purging mood, much of my stuff may hit the dumpster. Better go safely tuck away the passports and check books just in case. I'll be signing up on Monday for sure...

I think my first task for this cure is to buy a camera. Something about if a tree falls in a forest and no one takes a picture ... did it make a noise?

Anyhow, I am looking forward to marginal insanity, and sharing the process with this community.
