"The key to loving your home," this book is the ultimate guide to organizing every space in your house, by the founders of the NEAT Method (Jenni Kayne).   In this one-of-a-kind organizing book, the projects are as simple as recipes, with “ingredient” lists and clear step-by-step directions.  There are smart, stylish solutions for every room in the house. Each chapter pertains to a different room in your house, with both short-term projects and longer overhauls, including: A “drop zone” for dirty shoes and sports gear A color-coded bathroom closet A playroom for the kids Specials drawers for utensils, socks, makeup, etc. 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.
