I do love me some Apartment Therapy

I will admit I don't actually KNOW anyone who LIVES in an APARTMENT but....

Has anyone done apartment therapy's "The Cure" before? Anyone want to commit to doing it when they run it in the spring? I think you have to buy the book but it looks kinda fun in a this-will-be-less-painful-when-it-is-over kind of way. I know "they" will all make fun of me and my house but I'm ok with that... as long as I get a few things accomplished.

Ok... I'll admit.... I saw "The Landing Strip" and thought I was going to have to get out lather or tweezers but I'm off the porno page and onto the decor page now.

And ya'll KNOW my house needs HALP.... actually, do you think I could get Maxwell to just adopt me as a pet project?

Ah, the challenges of a "wanna-be-modern-retro" girl combining life forces with a "hunter" guy.

I mean.... I can look at the "European" mount elk skull as appealing in a Georgia O'Keeffe sort of way.... nice shape and contrast with the wall.... but there are some things I just can't overlook.

We have a very large Euro mount mule deer.. mounted on a gigantic slab of 200 year old cedar. Jealous? Try decorating around that.
We also have some nice fire photos, like planes dropping retardant and big smokes. Better Homes and Gardens it ain't, that's for sure. But I did manage to squeeze a nice green and brown color motif into the living room...it goes well with the manure that gets tracked in sometimes.

Let's see. Clean out closets. Uh. That part's easy. We don't have any AT ALL downstairs. That's part of the reason there isn't anywhere to put the clutter.

Explain this cure thing to me a little better cuz that web site just looked like pretty pictures.

Sarahp.... Ok, I admit... I actually like the fire photos....

M&Co.... I'm not sure I understand it really.... there is a book and it goes through all of this stuff in 8 weeks.... The website has mostly very modern places and I was thinking we needed to "keep it real" and show them how the other half lives.... the half with jobs & kids & coupon-clipping. And maybe I could improve my space while I'm at it.
