apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Count me in!

If I weren't already doing the Home Cure, I'd totally participate! As it is, my kitchen will be included in the home cure. Unfortunately ... or perhaps fortunately ... the two other rooms in my condo need more work. ;)

I too am doing the home Cure, or else I'd participate. I may do the kitchen Cure in the future, if you do this again, and will definitely be checking in on everyone's progress this time around and picking up ideas, I'm sure.

I started a "mini-cure" last night. I moved a few things around in my drawers and put some things back into their proper place.

The biggest task is to reorganize my food-pantry.
Some of that will involve cooking up the odds and ends of pasta and bulk lentils/grains that are floating around.

I'd love to participate but I can't get past page 2 of the registration because I'm from Canada. Sob!

Rain, try again - the form is no longer USA-discriminating. :-)

Can I sign up for both? I mean, I'm up to the challenge (I think!), and I was planning on focusing the majority of my regular deep-treatment cure to the kitchen and dining area anyway.

I've committed... or should be committed. My dh and I are in the midst of planning a major kitchen renovation. The contractor hasn't yet given us a start date but we should be able to give that final dinner in our old kitchen before it's destroyed.

I am loving the kitchen in this picture. Is this from one of the house tours on AT? Who knows where the sink unit is from?

There's the link for the original posting...


Anyone know where the table and chairs came from??????

Arg! I can't decide! I really shouldn't sign up - This is my last semester of college, and the next 8 weeks are going to be full of exams and final papers, then graduation, and then we're finding jobs and moving. But I tried to organize the freezer last night and couldn't organize it because there was just so much STUFF in there- tons of fish, meat, soup bases, veggies, breads, and so I had to just cram it all back in. So I need a freezer cure, at the very least, which should mainly involve EATING all that stuff. Oh I don't know...

Thanks. I'll sign up again.

I have less than zero time in the weeks ahead, but I think this is a great opportunity, as a kitchen designer, to really slowly break down some fundamental issues in the kitchen, and to do it, not by being an observer, but to do it myself! And, to learn from others in a detailed way. Plus, I need to get much more into gear to be able to throw together meals that are healthy and make the cooking process as efficient as it can be.

Plus, I think I'll start to undergo a kitchen renovation myself during this time, and I think I'll end up with even less storage than I have now, so this whole thing will be very interesting!

Oh I wish this had been posted sooner! If I weren't already doing the other cure, I would totally do this instead. I think that a kitchen cure would actually be more beneficial right now, but I may follow along during my whole house cure anyway.

STLcolleen-

I'll be doing both cures too! Are we crazy or what?

I was planning on doing the one room version of the home cure with the kitchen as my room. Would it be better to do this cure instead? My cure is actually a major renovation including new appliances, countertops, backsplash tile, and floor tile (possibly new cabinets too).

another reader who wants to know where those blue chairs came from!

Ok, I'm signed up. I'm really looking forward to getting organized as well as giving the kitchen a deep cleaning. I'm counting on all the inspiration, help and support that I've seen the AT community give in the past - I'm really gonna need it!

I'm excited about this. I'd given up on the idea of a whole home cure for a host of reasons related to energy and time. The later start date, smaller project size and fact that it concentrates on my favourite room in the house makes this cure a much better fit. I'm hoping that by taking part in The Kitchn Cure I'm going to achieve two things: a reorganised kitchen that actually stays organised after being used, and greater variety and creativity in my everyday cooking. Cheers!

STLcolleen, bunny;
I'm ALSO doing both cures. I'm doing a 'deep treatment' on my Kitchen for my SF spring cure, and then this one... I figure with the over lap my kitchen MIGHT be actually clean and organized by the end.

I'm going to attempt this, although it will be a little interesting - March 20th will be my first day in a new house, so I'll already be playing with where things go and how to keep things organized. I'm betting this will make the cleaning easier, but the organizing harder, but starting off on the right foot sounds like a great way to get settled in the new place.

I don't know if I should sign up. I'm moving in a few months, so I'm not sure if it's worth it...then again my kitchen will be leaner and meaner for my move I suppose...

I think I signed up...but it kept giving me errors! I want to participate...but don't know if the form got submitted - how do I know??

Looking forward to it!

I am intrigued by your pancetta cups. However, I eat only kosher food and cannot use pancetta. Is there any other type cold cut that I could use to make these cups?

I am using my friends login to try to reach you. I have registered with your site and get your emails. However, I am trying to view and update my profile because I cannot enter any of your wonderful contests due to some error in my profile. If someone could contact me and tell me how to update this, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks, tandek589@yahoo.com

Too bad: I tried to register but was a few minutes over 5pm so my registration was rejected.
Ah well, I'll peek here for time to time.
Good luck to everyone!
