Hello, Cure-takers! Have you finished out strong in this fall's Kitchen Cure? We bet that your kitchen is spick and span, and all ready for the holidays. We closed out the Kitchen Cure last week with a note of encouragement, but we're not quite finished with you yet. Did the Cure help your kitchen in big or small ways? Do you have a more organized cupboard, like turtalia's up there? Or did you make a big change, like this chalkboard wall?
Either way, we would love to see just one photo from you with one improvement you made to your kitchen during the Kitchen Cure. Read on to submit!
This improved kitchen is from Cure-taker sunnychef in Queens.
What about your kitchen? Did you make any big or little changes during the Cure? Pick just one and send us a photo; we'll do a roundup soon of all the reader inspiration we receive.

I signed up for the cure anticipating a month more of unemployment. Lucky for my bank account, I ended up getting hired a week before it started. Suddenly finding myself busy with my new job I fell behind on the cure...as in did not do a single thing, which bummed me out because I was excited to get organized and stocked up for holiday cooking.
Then, last week, the main outgoing pipe in my building's wet wall cracked open about an inch wide and I came home to a complete disaster - everything in my cabinets out and about, cabinets removed, things pushed against the wall, entire apartment covered in a thin layer of (most likely asbestos ridden) dust.
However, pipe replaced, hole in wall patched up but not re-painted, and cabinets replaced, the disaster forced me to do the whole cure in one extremely motivated caffeine fueled day. Cleaned everything, threw stuff away, reorganized, painted the wet wall BLACK (the rest of our kitchen is either brick or turquoise), and the next day went to the grocery store and replenished.
Hey, at least I didn't have to take anything out of the cabinets to clean!
