Welcome to Litsy!

We all know I'm a total sucker for books about home organization, but this one fell a little flat for me. There's just a complete lack of actual practical application beyond “you should organize things like a rainbow because other people in your household will find it easy to put stuff away that way.“ That & “buy lots of bins“ were pretty much my takeaway messages from this one. There are loads of lovely photos so there are some concepts to be ⬇

Great companion to the Netflix series. Some great ideas, lots of eye candy and encouragement to get your ish sorted!

Meh. Pretty pictures but very little actual instruction. Basically just an ad for their products and services.

Still working my way through these organizing books—and the organizing itself! So far this one is mostly pretty pictures and not much practical advice but at least the pictures are really, really pretty 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

I have a Pinterest Board called 'I Can Dream'. Beautiful photos that give me some inspiration but are mostly unrealistic. Pretty much this whole book falls into that category. Yeah I could stand to do more organizing but it's never going to be this perfect. Not in this life. I do organize clothes, makeup, & nail polish by color. Makes it easier to coordinate. But Books? Pretty but impractical. 🤓

I enjoyed this but am surprised that this actually became a “book” (I use that term loosely). This seemed like a series of posts that were mostly strung together with a tiny bit of text in between. Liked the pictures though since I feel no pressure to recreate them or anything. And also listing Gwyneth Paltrow‘s goop website as a place to get inspiration does not work for me at all 🤷🏻‍♀️ I‘m just saying. And also -👇🏽

This is from Kacey Musgraves‘s closet and I can‘t lie, that fringe looks great. Just in case you‘ve somehow missed her: https://youtu.be/Kw0ih4jPOBo

Wow, that‘s a lot of shoes for one pair of feet! 😬

Enjoying this but y‘all, this isn‘t a tip. This is what their “tips” mostly consist of so if you‘re annoyed by that, you won‘t like this book.

This book was very good! I loved learning about their stories and what they do. This book gives good advice and examples if you are trying to organize your house. It is funny, but also detailed and educational. This book is similar to “The life-changing magic of tidying up“ by Marie Condo but more pleasant to read because of the inspirational pictures throughout.

I don't often review books like these on here though I do request and read them through the library. In this case, I thought I would write something up because so many folks ask me about organizing things. I believe that this book would be extremely helpful to anyone who's looking to create an "everything's in its place" vibe in their home. There's humor but also practical advice for each section of your house. Biggest takeaway? Start small!

I held out on buying this book as long as I could! The KonMari method hasn‘t worked for me so far, so I‘m trying to cobble together a mash-up if that, @thehomeedit, and some “Unf*ck Your Habitat”, with a dash of “The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning” (I tried hygge first, that didn‘t take, either).
