Attending Hybrid Cure

I crave change, mostly I crave change at work, but any change this day feels good to me. I was hoping that the spring cure of the Apartment Therapy would have started soon, but so far I've seen no sign of it. I was getting bit frustrated. Luckily I was not alone! Alana from Prairie Home Therapy started her own Cure, the Hybrid Cure. I'm happy to jump on board.

Alana's Hybrid Cure will be based on Maxwell Gillingham-Ryans book, Apartment Therapy the eight-step home cure. I do have that book and I've read it multible times, but have not truly gone through the steps it recommends you to take. On this Hybrid Cure I will try to follow the steps of AT and Alana and possibly invent some of my own too. Here is my Master Plan for the cure.

Master plan

• Read pages 1 - 51 of Apartment Therapy, The Eight Week Cure 
• Fill out the interview and quiz
• Create a style tray online. 
• Create cleaning checklists
• Make up a repair list for each room.
• Post de-clutter spots atleast weekly
• Clean out existing Outbox.

Week One: Plan repairs, vacuum and mop floors, create style tray.

Week Two: Clean kitchen, declutter, repair at least one thing, define style verbally.

Week Three: Front and back entries, interior and exteriors (weather permitting). Clean, declutter, organize. Get spring flowers to front door, if not too cold.

Week Four: Living Room, thoroughly clean (including sofas and chairs), declutter CDs, DVDs and books. Clean windows from inside.

Week Five: Office: clean, declutter, deal with computer files.

Week Six: Bathroom and toilet: clean, declutter.

Week Seven: Bedroom, clean, declutter. Build headboard (Nice one Alana, we need this!).

Week Eight: Make terrace ready for summer, power wash decking, wash windows from outside.
