More AT Fall Color entries

Yes, the Apartment Therapy contest is still going on. Here are some more entries that I can't stop looking at. I like how this first example uses color in their furniture and accessories but not on the walls. #16 - Anna and Victor's Bright and Cozy Delight These two rooms below were given grief in the comments because there was "no color". There seemed to be a lot of people who did not consider neutrals as color. If not, then what are tan, khaki, cream, gray, and brown doing in a crayon box? When I hear those names, I think colors. Don't you? #25 - Marco and Clinton's Eclectic, 40's Inspiration
#26 - Elizabeth and Toby's "Enough Bright, Enough Calm" Space
Well, they can't deny that these three have color. #50 - Spon & Andy's Lagoon Blue Loft  
#14 - Alicia's "Finished" Sewing Studio #14 - Adam's Kaleidoscope And last but not least, my early pick for the first prize. The rules say they are looking for the boldest, coolest, most colorful room? Well, this is it! #19 - Brooke's Brave Blast of Brightness Good luck to everyone, there are only a few days left!

Welcome to the AT Cure-the sequel!

Yes. It's that time again.

It's time for Apartment Therapy's Fall Cure*. I started blogging about my prior experience with the Cure here, since I didn't finish then, I am attempting to finish this time. Wish me luck!



I got started earlier this week. I first went through all of my 2004 Real Simple magazines and ripped out anything that I felt was worthy of keeping for later reference. The pile on the left is what I ended up with keeping.



Yes, I do still have all of the 2005 and 2006 issues...and...

my Lucky magazines from the last two years,
half a year of Domino,
most of the published issues of Bargain Style,
about eight miscellaneous home decor magazines,
and finally ending with my Budget Living issues. I was a fan from the very beginning and I miss this magazine so much.

Heh! I did get rid of the Real Simples...one full year.
That should count for something, right?
Right?

*note that they mention "this great Flickr pool", that's mine. Thanks for the shout out AT!
