I also have this vintage dachshund mail rack by the door for urgent mail (and outgoing mail).

Day 9: Create a Landing Strip Apartment Therapy January Cure
1/15/13 7:25 AM

I have an Eames Hang It All in black & walnut, which has transformed my entry area (which is probably 3ftx3ft). I absolutely love it. I used to keep a shredder near the entrance to my apartment, which was efficient (I have a terrible habit of letting junk mail pile up on the dining table) but not aesthetically pleasing. Maybe I can figure out a way to conceal it.

I'd already planned a birthday party for this weekend (my apartment had its annual "big clean" aka chuck-all-the-junk-in-the-spare-room prior to my Bad Santa movie night last month) but will think of something else to host in February. In 2013 I want to host a clothes swap party, a biscuit (cookie) swap and some crafternoons. I think any of these will be extra special with posted invites!

I love having fresh flowers in the home but I need to go out of my way to buy them so it's nice to have the Cure to tell me to treat myself. The flower links above are helpful. I'm going to get some orchids - the only cut flowers that will survive the Aussie summer (probably until next month!) without making me sneeze.

I have bottles of (green) cleaning products that have been sitting under my sink for years. I'm hoping to use some of them up during the Cure.


Day 3: Weekend Chores - Flowers, Floors, Green Cleaners & Outbox Apartment Therapy January Cure

I am using my spare room as an outbox. Pretty much everything in that room is probably outbox material anyway (been in there for over a year).

List written! I've always wanted to do a cure since reading a second-hand copy of Maxwell's book and am so glad there's one happening now.

@susannemuc The wallpaper details are in the post on Fine Little Day. I like the makeover - I'm sure it's completely reversible if they tire of it.

I've seen the Kylie ones in person - they're very impractical. Who wants to lie on bedding covered in sequins? Not very comfortable. The also look pretty tacky. Maybe they could be used to make a party frock?

Cats in the laundry? Gross. Who wants cat hair all over their clean laundry?

If you're calling it a "crisis" then you should probably declare a "war on potholes".

All the toilets in Australia are dual flush. I can't remember ever having a toilet that wasn't dual flush.

I think that the people who can afford to buy it new are the people who can afford to upgrade every couple of years. And not to worry about depreciation.

When I last visited Ikea here in Perth (Australia) the Molger shelf was being discontinued. The rest of the line is here to stay (for now).

Not one of my purchases...but what about the time machine Uncle Rico buys in Napoleon Dynamite? Hilarious!

I spent ages online, with no success, trying to find somewhere that sold custom-size mats (already have the frame and glass) and ships to Australia. Does anyone know of a frame shop that sends internationally? Thanks.
