Anyone else tackling the whole home cure? That is what I am doing, just wanted to know if anyone else is doing it too! :)

I am too but my whole home is a one room studio + bath so I don't know if that counts.

I am. We recently moved into our new rental and it is BARE BARE BARE. I need to do the whole thing but decoratively I will mostly focus on the living room and my bedroom since it is too expensive to do anything more right now.

I think I am. I don't have the book yet, but I definetely need to do our bedroom, 2 bathrooms (well...it's really one bathroom, but oddly spaced with toilet behind one door, bathtub behind one door, and two seperate sinks sort of in the hallway), and the kitchen. So. But-- I don't have much money to spend, so it's going to be a lot of rearranging, de-cluttering, and cheap-o flower buying :-)

Yes, I will be doing my entire one-bedroom apartment. I'm also pretty broke so no $1000+ sofas for me.

I am. At least, that's the goal. But I know that we're going to be moving in 3 or 4 months, and I have basically no budget. Still, our apartment is draining my life force and something must be done!

Cool! I am glad to see that so many others are doing the whole home, and with a $0 budget too! Our budget is $0, but we may break down and buy some supplies to do repairs and possibly paint, but otherwise we aren't going to spend any money! :)

i'm doing whole home too (minus my son's room because we already put some effort into that space a few weeks ago) because everything flows into everything else - i've got an open kitchen - dining room/living room/office/entryway. my "office" is the chosen room, but since that's spread over the whole 200 sq. ft of my downstairs, it's turning into a whole home cure!

and i also have a budget of $0. i do need to spend some $$ on some photo albums because the piles of them on my upstairs landing isn't really working :) and i am motivated to start scouring thrift stores for office armoires.

I'm doing the whole home too, since it was difficult to pick one area to focus on. My primary concern is decluttering and storage, and that's needed in every inch of my loft.

My budget is also about zero dollars. I'm going to sell some of my nice Basset end and coffee tables and buy a new rug.

I'm doing the whole home also, I had too many areas that needed some attention though the cure came right as I was inspired to redo my kitchen countertops (I took the Home Depot tiling clinic and decided to give it a shot). So I guess I am also sort of focusing on the kitchen too. And my office is a nightmare too, so that might need a little extra attention as well...

I'm in for (nearly!) the whole house too! We had a flood in the house and I'm trying to make "lemonade" from the "lemons"... living room, dining room, kitchen, family room...now to just post photos... and to make it to the week we do paperwork!

I'm doing the whole home, too. You'd think such a little place would be easier to figure out!

I am, very spottily and probably not in order, but I'm going to go around everything. We moved in just a few months ago, and it doesn't feel really mine yet (or really clean), so the more emotional elements of it are going to be important to me.

OK, I am sort of doing the whole house cure. This is b/c the whole house cure is the deep treatment; the one room cure really seems focused on creating a style in a room, once the basics are in place. The book recommends Deep Treatment if your house scored less than 8 on their quiz (which mine did).

But, that is really too big of a project for me -- so I'm focusing my Deep Treatment to meet my goals, which are to improve my bedroom and have a more comfortable house for entertaining. So the focus is on my bedroom, and high impact items in the living/dining room. (So while I might not get everything repaired, I am aiming to get everything in my bedroom repaired, for example.)

Mine is ending up being a weird mix of Deep Treatment/One Room/January Jumpstart. It just needs pretty much any help it can get. The One Room I'm kinda focusing on is my living room because it's the one that's least figured out, and I want to be able to entertain friends. My jumpstarts are staining my kitchen table (it's from IKEA, but I found out it's solid wood! I'm excited!) and reupholstering a couple chairs. Progress on both will be shared :-)

I'm doing the whole home on a $0 budget too! Actually, I'm selling stuff on Craigslist to make the money I'll be using. The house is in desperate need of it. Since my son was born (2yrs in May) we've been just neglecting things, tucking them away. It feels good to start getting rid of things.
