At the age of 50, I have discovered my people!I have always been made fun of by my mother, my daughter, ex-husband, friends and roommates over my need to have things contained by type and the labeling of each. (Don’t mess with mamas paint pens or label maker).My world has always been a bit of a mess with the exception of items like the perfect sized container labeled “nail polish” that sits under my sink or the container in the bottom drawer of my desk labeled “stationary.” Of course nobody thanks me when they know exactly where to find a stamp or battery when they need it but anyway...In July of this year, the owner of the beautiful townhouse I had rented for 4 years informed me that he had made the decision to sell so I needed to move out! I had lost the majority of my income during the pandemic and now I was losing my home. I decided to make the best of it by moving into a small one bedroom apartment for a year, save money and buy my own condo that nobody can ever kick me out of! The thought of downsizing had me terrorized... I love “my stuff.”I downloaded Marie Kondo on Audible- It was life changing for someone like me... It made getting rid of, donating, selling, ect everything I did not need or love EASY!But then WHAT!?!I was left with all the things that made me HAPPY!My stuff truly makes me HAPPY!Pictures of my beautiful daughter, my 10 photo albums of the first 5 years of her life, the various outfits for my 2 chihuahuas, my craft closet and my 1,000+ pens... My beloved “stuff”!After discovering The Home Edit, I have watched their Netflix series and purchased their newest book first. I then came back and purchased this one! This book is more of a “how to” than the other. This is EXACTLY what I needed!!!While I am living in this awful apartment, these books have been my inspiration! My GOALS!My porn! These books have made me happy!!! Planing what my future home will look like makes me happy and motivated to work hard!!I have organized all of my paperwork, books, ect..I can’t wait to hit the container store-Love love love!Both of these books are on loan to my mom- We lost my dad this month and I knew these books would help give my her some Ideas. Going through my dads things/ donating and giving away is something I don’t know how we are going to deal with. How do you remove the things that belonged to the love of her life, her husband of 53 years. I am going to be by her side every step of the way but I don’t know how I’ll manage... My dad was my hero! It may sound strange, but I know these books will give us both some joy to look forward to... My mom deserves to have a pretty organized home.Thank you Home Edit for giving both my mom and I something to look forward to during 2 different but difficult times we are both facing in our lives!God bless

I have read several books on organizing and this is by far the simplest one to use. But don’t let simple fool you- it’s also practical with Pinterest looking results (for people that would never normally achieve it).

Loved this book! It is a type A, OCD, organized girls DREAM! Gives helpful ideas, tips and strategies for keeping any space organized and beautiful! Easy and quick read and reference guide!

Organizing and creating systems to keep homes looking clean has never looked so easy. The tips given make it easy to take small steps to get any space in tip-top ROYGBIV shape. I enjoyed watching “The Home Edit” on Netflix more than the book though. Clea and Joana’s voices and bubbly personalities bring more motivation to any project, and it was easier to visualize the entire project area instead of a tiny part of it as you get in the book.

Really enjoyed this book after reading it all the way through. I follow them on Instagram, so I’ve picked up tips over the years, but what I liked about the book was that it really brought together their vision of organization as decor. I knew what they did was pleasing to the eye, but to me, this was a written version of their entire philosophy on organizing that you don’t get in one place on Instagram. I’m a reformed clutter bug and this book spoke to me more than others I have recently read that advised removing all your furniture from a room and putting back only what you love. Yeah, not going to happen. However, their philosophy (stuff vs. space) has changed the way I shop, which I now believe is the heart of organization. The tips are practical and they acknowledge different types of rooms. Not everyone has a giant walk in pantry, but you can take bits and pieces from each of their jobs and apply them to your project. Like any book, you have to take what applies to you and remember that everyone is different. We have different budgets and different amounts of time to devote to organization upkeep, but the inspiration is applicable to everyone. Definitely glad I own this book so I can refer back to it if I ever move as well. Also, the humor is top notch. Dry self-deprecation, yes please.
