Organize It Review

This was a very helpful book. It gave me great ideas and had wonderful pictures to get my imagination flowing with ways to organize my home!

Lot of pretty pictures

It's a pretty book -- with great design ideas, and the index in the back is good for possible organization solutions, but this book focuses more on major renovation-type organization a lot (ie. cabinets/custom units etc.) and less about a true breakdown of how long to keep stuff, important stuff to keep, vs. stuff to toss, etc. Good general guide...

From a Closet Design Professional: Terrific!

I'm an experienced Closet Designer and found this book to be a wonderful read. I enjoyed and was inspired by the crisp, clean, beautiful images and was charmed by many useful tips, including grouping photos in like frames, all antique frames (or all modern frames) for example, to create the look of a cohesive collection. Kudos to author Merv Kaufman!
