Toni Hammersley's Complete Guide to Home Organization

Renee S: The ideas are clear and easily doable. They are not necessarily recommending super expensive fixes and instead are showing you approachable ideas that really work in your space.

Anne Merceron: I would have probably think this book is useful if I were living in a masive house. I just live in a 2 bedrooms flat so I do not know how I could find the space for a Landry room and a massive office space with its on coffe machine corner.
I put three stars cause of the beautiful pictures.

KDB: Beautiful pictures and some good ideas

libraryfairy: Exactly what I was looking for. Full of tips in snippet format and color photo examples. I am currently working on de-cluttering my kitchen which just happens to be the first chapter. So that is my main focus right now but I am sure the inspiration will continue with the rest of the various categories of this book.

Summary: I like the brief tips instead of paragraphs, color photos, layout flows and is well organized, and I really appreciate the rounded page edges and reinforced cover edges for longevity. The only thing I wish it had was a vendor index for some of the products in the photos.

Here's a tip I heard years ago: declutter first and then pick out your storage containers and baskets. That way you won't have to go out an get more or return any. Make sure you measure too.

Kate: I am a "messie", I struggle with keeping my house clean and tidy. My mom taught me how, but by nature I am cluttered. Every surface has junk, some I want to keep, some I don't, some I'm not too sure about. This book is a visual book on ideas how to get my clutter under control and though I've been working on my project for a while, it's still a struggle and this book has given me some fresh ideas on how to tame my space. I confess I am a prep hoarder, I don't want to be a hoarder. De-junking , my house is a tremendous project, but with tips from experts like this writer I am making slow progress. Will I ever be as neat as she is, probably not, but if I could get close, I'd be happy.

Gorka con k: Este libro sobre organización del hogar es una maravilla.
La edición es preciosa, muy bien cuidada, el aspecto es una delicia visual.
Los contenidos, bien organizados, por secciones, con tips útiles, textos cortos y concretos, consejos sencillos y fáciles.
Es un libro imprescindible para los amantes de la organización, de las casas bonitas y de una vida práctica y sencilla.
De momento solo está disponible en inglés, pero merece la pena tenerlo. Es un libro para mirar y tocar.
Se puede leer por secciones, saltar de una parte a otra, seguir los retos semanales o dejarlos para el final. No tiene una estructura cerrada, invita a volver una y otra vez a releer los textos y con cada leída prestar atención a una parte de la casa. Muy recomendable. Precioso.

M.G.: Dieses Buch war für mich eine große Hilfe unser Familienleben "zu vereinfachen" und "Altlasten" loszuwerden. Wie wahrscheinlich jede Frau lernt man das Kochen, Putzen, Aufräumen von der eigenen Mutter oder der ersten Bezugsperson in der Kindheit. Obwohl bei meiner Mutter alles recht locker verlief, habe ich mir nie Gedanken gemacht ob diese "Methoden" auch zu mir passen, ich habe sie einfach übernommen. Dies führte aber dazu dass ich meine Organisationsysteme immer wieder verworfen habe und ständig am Anfang von Etwas stand. Sie hatten nicht wirklich zu meinem Lebensstil gepasst. Dieses Buch hat mir geholfen "mein Organisationsproblem" zu lösen. Toni liefert viele erfahrene und erprobte Systeme da sie aus eigenen Fehlern gelernt hat. Ich konnte erst bei diesem Buch verstehen was ich für mein Zuhause brauche und was nicht. Allein schon für alles seinen eigenen Platz zu finden und es für immer dort zu lassen hat ein halbes Jahr gedauert. Wir sind kein minimalistischer Haushalt und wir lieben unsere Sachen. Heute aber putze ich drauf los ohne vorher 3 Stunden aufräumen zu müssen. Und das war mein Ziel dank diesem Buch habe ich es erreicht.

Elizabeth Rodgers: I have read several home organizing books, but *this* is the one I have been waiting for!

The first thing I noticed right away is that there is no skimping on quality, here. The colors are vibrant, the paper is nice and glossy and thick. The corners of the front and back covers are metal-tipped, which is nice because not only does it give the book weight, but it protects the corners from bending and fraying. Inside, the pictures are plentiful, inspiring, and gorgeous. Just flipping through the book will make you feel motivated enough to start tackling an area of your house!

The book is broken down into various "challenge" rooms - kitchen, dining room, garage, etc. Each room is then broken down into specific tasks, which you can follow along in the 15 week time frame, or go at your own pace. There are tons of ideas on saving space, organizing, and lest you feel overwhelmed at the state of your current household, the author has also many suggestions on how to start the process (which is sometimes the hardest part). If you follow the book page by page, at the end of roughly 15 weeks your home will be clean and organized! The best part is that you can work at your own...
