What Week Are We On Again?

It's official... doing The Cure when you haven't completely settled into your home is hard. :)
It's also hard when you're forced to spend all of your money on something other than your home (thanks, car).

So my plans and focus for The Cure have changed quite a bit. I'm going to concentrate more on purging and organizing and less on designing. Designing requires purchases (usually) and those are going to have to wait a while. I may end up doing a Winter Cure in order to get everything accomplished.

Here's what I plan on doing with the remaining weeks.

• Clean bathroom.
• Clean wardrobe closet.
• Declutter bathroom storage
• Declutter cabinet in wardrobe.

• Store towels and linens in baskets on doorway shelf.
• Get metal clothes rod cut and install and arrange closet efficiently.
• Put new lamp on desk.
• Have recessed light fixed.
• Have kitchen light by the fridge fixed.
• Re-hang wire basket in kitchen.
• GET RID OF THE DESK IN THE KITCHEN! ugh. YES! FINALLY! It is gone FOREVER!
