Posted last Spring Kiki Clark did an amazing makeover of her bedroom, forever recorded here.
• Cure Clock: 5 days till start
• Assignment: Buy or borrow the book!
It's tiiiiiiime people! Time to crank up the engines again, get down and dirty with your home and do something fabulous that you've been dying to do before Christmas rolls around and it's all over. This time we've spiffed up our process a bit and added a new challenge, The Green Cure....
For those of you who are new, starting next week we're beginning a home makeover project by following the eight chapters of our book, Apartment Therapy: The Eight Step Home Cure, and, because many hands make light work, we're doing it together.
The goal? To invest in our own homes through either elbow grease, money or both and make our own homes beautiful, healthy and organized.
This time we're keeping the big changes we made last Spring, but tightening them up:
• One Cure page to tie together all the posts
• Cure emails to stay in touch with you even if you don't make it to the blog
• Local Cure discussion boards so that you can chat and organize locally
• Introducing our first official Green Cure for our Re-Nest readers and those who want to try to go totally green for eight weeks
Ready to check it out? Ready to sign up?
Head over to the Cure Main Page and join us as we all change our lives over the next eight weeks.

Sweet!
Yay! I'm so excited. I started reading AT last year just in time to miss the start of the cure. I've read the book twice since then, but I'm a "Yes, a lot!" answer to the survey above, so it has been a slow start for me...
can't wait though!
Yay!! This is just what I need! I have reached my threshold of home clutter. I have the book - lent to me by a friend who successfully completed the last Cure.
I'm in dire need and am so ready! What timing!
Vrrrroom!
Okay, I am going to try this again. I started the cure last spring but didn't get very far...I take that back. I actually got a lot done but not in the 8 week time frame and I didn't post anything. This time I have the book and I do my very best. I've started buying flowers every sunday...so even if my apartment is still a mess, I've got fresh flowers! It makes a huge difference. Now if the cure can get me to do dishes more regularly then it will be a miracle cure!
Off I go!!!
Hiya! Ok, here's the scoop. I'm curing for my third time BUT, I am moving to a smaller house. I am going to focus on reducing my (shall we say...) quantity and decorating my new place. I can't wait to upload photos and get your feedback on what to do with my new (very tiny and no hanging storage) place!
I've been wanting to improve our newlywed apartment and have been focusing on decorating a bit more. But now due to finding that we have a mouse friend (due to a box of potato buds - note, never open the triangular pour hole in the potato buds box and then leave in your pantry! Put it in a plastic container!) I'm really wanting to do a deep clean of everything. Plus the full-to-the-brim back closet really needs to be cleaned out. Perfect timing for my first cure!
Each round my house gets closer and closer to what I want it to be. With a newborn at home, I don't know how well I'll do this time, but I figure it's a good project nonetheless.
Good luck everyone!
