I liked this book! It was really fun to look at, pretty pictures, quippy captions, and easy to flip through. It says it’s a “No Guilt Guide to owning what you want and organizing everything.” I don’t think this book is a guide at all. I think it’s a bunch of pictures of how they organized celebrities’ giant closets and pantries. I don’t think the way they organized most of these spaces are practical because most people don’t have the kind of money to spend on acrylic risers and 15 lazy susans for your make up products. However, this book really inspired me to get organized and start small.

Pretty pictures to aspire to, but not sure how much I actually learned about organizing.

The pictures are fun and I appreciated seeing fridges that actually had more than just fruit/veg/yogurt in them. Plus this one made their sorting seem more manageable when you have kids and no hired help available.

Beautiful pictures, some helpful tips, but mainly in the category of coffee table book.

See my review of the Home Edit, their first book.
Times 100!!
This one gives me permission to own all my crap. So it’s probably my favorite of the two, LOL.
But seriously, if you have the time, you can sit down and read this book in one sitting. It’s so reader friendly, it’s like they’re just hanging out with you, tossing back a few and having a good time.
I didn’t realize these ideas were missing from the first book: yes, some of us just own a lot of stuff, whether it’s sports paraphernalia, scrapping tools, toys, whatever. In this new book, they address the fact that sometimes we just can’t get rid of it all, for any number of reasons, but there are ways to contain the stuff.
I loved this book. I loved the fact that I could throw away the hoarding guilt. It’s OK for me to own a room full of scrapbooking materials and not use them, I just have to have them organized and put away and neat. I must say, I missed the little extra we got in the first book, the labels. I wish we got an extra little somethin’ somethin’ in this book!
If you have “stuff,” run right out there and get one “thing,” this book is worth it.

Let's be real; this book is just aesthetic porn for me.
I am a normal person. 95% of the people reading this are normal people. There is no way you can impliment 90% of the things displayed in the book unless you are making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to spend on plastic boxes and have a house the size of a small villiage in order to have the space needed to be this organized.
That being said, gosh this book is pretty and the color pages and photographs are what I WISH my life had to work with. I barely have enough possessions to fit in one of the closets in this book to be honest. It's a fun book to look at and daydream about having the patience and supplies needed to color coordinate, but it isn't practical in the slightest.
