The Home Edit

A Guide to Organizing and Realizing Your House Goals (Includes Refrigerator Labels Download)

By: Clea Shearer, Joanna Teplin

Narrated by: Clea Shearer, Joanna Teplin, Tara Sands

There’s decorating, and then there’s organizing. From the Instagram-sensation home experts (with a serious fan club that includes Reese Witherspoon, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Mindy Kaling), here is an accessible, room-by-room guide to establishing new order in your home.

Believe this: every single space in your house has the potential to function efficiently and look great. The mishmash of summer and winter clothes in the closet? Yep. Even the dreaded junk drawer? Consider it done. And the best news: it’s not hard to do—in fact, it's a lot of fun.

From the home organizers who made their orderly eye candy the method that everyone swears by comes Joanna and Clea’s signature approach to decluttering. The Home Edit walks you through paring down your belongings in every room, arranging them in a stunning and easy-to-find way (hello, labels!), and maintaining the system so you don't need another do-over in six months. When you're done, you'll not only know exactly where to find things, but you'll also love the way it looks.

The Home Edit is a masterclass filled with detailed tips, from placing plastic dishware in a drawer where little hands can reach to categorizing pantry items by color (there's nothing like a little ROYGBIV to soothe the soul). Above all, it's like having your best friends at your side to help you turn the chaos into calm.

Includes a PDF with resources to help you stay inspired and The Home Edit fridge labels.

great organization techniques

i love organizing and this was very informative. there's a couple things that I don't agree with. like, yes you should discuss things with your kids before getting rid of their things and traumatizing them for life. I do like the idea of putting something away until they ask for it. maybe let them decide once they're older. go through things with them. figure out their feelings on the item. I also think you should be able to discuss your plans with your spouse if it involves things they use throughout the house. everyone should be on the same page. otherwise I think the actual organization process is great. love the rainbow organization. definitely plan on implementing a lot of things I've learned into my future house and posting it on ig lol.

Had some good tips

I liked the book and it had some good tips, but I had expected MORE useful advice.
