Kevin and I have committed to doing the Apartment Therapy’s 2010 Spring Cure! We have done this once before last spring and we accomplished so much, although not everything we wanted to get done got done. Nonetheless it was a great experience! This year I have decided to write about it as some form of accountability! Also we are expecting a baby in May so this came up at a perfect time for us to get the rest of household projects done before the baby comes. The photo above is our bedroom/office and where our main focus will be of setting up the nursery.
Goals we are looking to accomplish in the next 8 weeks are: setting up a nursery in our loft and do the “deep treatment” to the rest of place which basically consists of lots of organizing and cleaning! Not to mention finish up some of the project’s we didn’t get to last time around — like finishing our “yellow wall“! We managed to paint it and clean under the stairs (which was a HUGE task) but fell short on the decorating part. We have started hanging photos, but we need to finish that section and then also focus on what will happen with the space we under the stairs. Also we need to make our place more baby friendly. At the moment we have alot of dangerous artwork hanging around! I will also be documenting our spring cure through photographs and you can see more of them on my flickr page.
This is where most of the cleaning & organzing will happen.
This is the start of Week 1. Here is what we need to do this week to begin our cure:
• Make a list of repairs & solutions
• Vacuum and mop floor (not looking forward to mopping)
• Remove 1 item from our home and put it outside
• Buy fresh flowers (this I am looking forward to!)
• Look into earth friendly cleaning products
• Choose room to focus on (Done! The Nursery)
• Gather pictures of rooms we love
• Start a style tray
• Visit my favorite home store
• Set a budget
Ok then I’m off to work!
