Product Information

Declutting books are my brain candy reading. This is not a decluttering book per se, but rather organizing decluttered stuff, so close enough. As far as buying all those clear plastic bins - if you're Gwyneth Paltrow or some of the other people whose names are dropped liberally in this book, you can afford it. If not, use what you have already and slowly, section by section, get the plastic bins, first for the things that keep ending up all over the house like kids' toys, pens and pencils, or whatever you keep finding out of place in your house. You can have an organized house that looks like the one in the book if you're willing to do it slowly, over time. Overall, the steps in their method (edit, categorize, contain, and maintain) is very practical to follow. The book will reiterate over and over again that you should do these steps but gives very little detail on how to do them. Literally every other organizing book I’ve read digs deeper into these concepts. The authors also spends a good 1/3 of the book just chatting about themselves, their famous clients, and how much they each love organizing. Granted, it was in a cheeky, entertaining manner, but for my personal wants and needs it took waaaayy too long to get to the substance of the book.

Just in time for everyone's 'spring cleaning goals' comes the book everyone needs! Part inspirational pep talk, part organizational how-to and part eye candy . . . The Home Edit is the real deal." -- Pretty Pink Tulips I didn’t necessarily learn anything new, I’ve been a bit of a neatnik all of my life, but those images of color-coordinated bins, lined up ever so smartly just made me happy and inspired me to take my tidiness to the next level. The photography is light, bright and inviting and even though I’m not a fan of labeling everything (I mean you can see it’s a pair of shoes in that bin, can’t you?), I appreciated how well it all went together.I am and always have been a very organized person - I’m a firm believer that there is a proper place for everything and I like coming home to a consistently clean, organized space. That said, it’s always nice to review ideas and see a different perspective.

THE BOOKS – The Home Edit

I always hear people complaining about when somebody puts out a second book that it’s just a rewrite of the first with a little new info..

Please do NOT waste food. Please do NOT buy things that you will not use (like this book). Please reduce your plastic consumption. Please reduce, reuse, and recycle. Make sustainable long term plans over temporary short term *pretty* plans.
