“An organizing book that reads like a cookbook. Each project comes with an ingredient list of supplies, an approximate time length, and clear step-by-step directions.” —Real Simple
In this one-of-a-kind organizing book, there are smart, stylish solutions for every room in the house, including quick wins that can be accomplished in just twenty minutes and larger overhauls that may take an hour or more, including: A “drop zone” for dirty shoes and sports gear at the garage door Compartmentalized drawers for everything from kitchen utensils to makeup to socks A color-coded bedroom closet A playroom kids will actually keep tidy And much more!
The end result is transformative: By implementing solutions that emphasize beauty as much as function, you’ll create a home that’s well arranged, a true place of calm and simplicity.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Murphy and Hagmeyer, founders of the organizing products brand NEAT Method, debut with an underwhelming manual for tidying one's home. The eponymous method involves bringing all the items together; sorting them into categories; getting rid of redundant or unneeded items; selecting a place to keep each category; and using bins, drawer dividers, jars, and other organizers to separate categories within the same storage space. Showing how to straighten up each room of the house, the authors start with the kitchen, recommending that readers install turntables and risers in pantries to ensure food at the back doesn't get forgotten. Elsewhere, they encourage readers to use modular drawer organizers in their nightstand and office "junk drawer," and to transfer laundry detergent and snacks into their own reusable containers. Though the authors include some helpful tips on how to, for example, fold a fitted sheet, other pointers are obvious, as when they recommend nesting pots and pans for storage. Some guidance feels aimed at selling the authors' products, such as when they suggest transferring cooking spices from their original containers into uniformly sized jars. There's not much here readers don't already know.
