A guilt-free version of decluttering your living space to make it more comfortable and enjoyable， with prompts to be thoughtful about what you have， how and where you use it， and how to most effectively place it。 These concepts apply to what you purchase in the future and how you take care of what you keep。 Hints of Marie Kondo and less extreme than others in the industry。

Obsessed！ This is like the new home guide and organizing bible！ I love how timeless， clean， fresh， and bright the images are throughout the book。 It definitely inspires and makes you want your home （whether it's a house or apartment or just a bedroom） to be organized and decluttered。 It has so many great tips！ I'll be rereading this a ton and sharing with friends and family。 Obsessed！ This is like the new home guide and organizing bible！ I love how timeless， clean， fresh， and bright the images are throughout the book。 It definitely inspires and makes you want your home （whether it's a house or apartment or just a bedroom） to be organized and decluttered。 It has so many great tips！ I'll be rereading this a ton and sharing with friends and family。 。。。more

I received this book from the publisher through Netgalley for review and all thoughts and opinions are my own。Mother/daughter team of professional organizers share their insights on room by room organization and decluttering。 Book is well written， with excellent information on the topic。 Helpful for anyone wanting to take back the mess and control the clutter。

An attractive and well-organized book that may provide inspiration to those wanting to declutter and thus love their home。 Nothing much new here and much of it is common sense。 I don't suppose anyone would want to put photos of the usual more mundane homes that much of America lives in so I'd say this is aimed to the upper middle class folks。 But I guess that is the genre！ An attractive and well-organized book that may provide inspiration to those wanting to declutter and thus love their home。 Nothing much new here and much of it is common sense。 I don't suppose anyone would want to put photos of the usual more mundane homes that much of America lives in so I'd say this is aimed to the upper middle class folks。 But I guess that is the genre！ 。。。more

With LOVE YOUR HOME AGAIN， Ann Lightfoot and Kate Pawlowski offer clear， straightforward， and motivating guidance for living well in the home you have。 Just when I thought I'd done a terrific joy of ferreting out the clutter and organizing my house， this book demonstrates a logical way of thinking about how my family and I live and what we truly need。 Abashed， I realized quickly that I have a long way to go until I can entertain without panicking and use an office that serves me as well as enjoy With LOVE YOUR HOME AGAIN， Ann Lightfoot and Kate Pawlowski offer clear， straightforward， and motivating guidance for living well in the home you have。 Just when I thought I'd done a terrific joy of ferreting out the clutter and organizing my house， this book demonstrates a logical way of thinking about how my family and I live and what we truly need。 Abashed， I realized quickly that I have a long way to go until I can entertain without panicking and use an office that serves me as well as enjoy the ease， the flow， and the grace of a home that functions with beauty。 Smart， timely， and beautifully illustrated， this book is a tremendous asset and resource for anyone living in a house， apartment， anywhere they call home。 I received an early copy of this book and these opinions are my own， unbiased thoughts。 。。。more

Tons of photos but the houses all look very sterile and OCD， with white walls and endless labeled bins。 I honestly would hate if my home looked like this。 I’m so sorry but this is not the home of my dreams。 Even if I could afford all these containers I hate the look。 I’m sure some people will love it though。 We all have our own tastes。 Good inspiration if you like that aesthetic and are new to decluttering and organizing。 Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for an advance preview。 All opinion Tons of photos but the houses all look very sterile and OCD， with white walls and endless labeled bins。 I honestly would hate if my home looked like this。 I’m so sorry but this is not the home of my dreams。 Even if I could afford all these containers I hate the look。 I’m sure some people will love it though。 We all have our own tastes。 Good inspiration if you like that aesthetic and are new to decluttering and organizing。 Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for an advance preview。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

This book gives a room-by-room plan for decluttering and organizing your home。 If you have read many other simplifying or organizing books， you may not learn a lot from this book。 Love Your Home Again does have great photos， though。。 These would be useful for storage decorating ideas。 I recommend this book。 I received a complementary advanced copy from the publisher via NetGalley。

I was hoping for more from this book。 I definitely want to love my home again （although I already do love it） and get more organized， but I don't relate at all to this aesthetic。 It's very "subdivision Costco generic home。" There are lots of stock photographs of new houses with really organized bins of things and velvet covered hangers 1/2 inch from each other。 There's also the standard advice about purging things ruthlessly。 Shrug。 I already declutter regularly and don't need to be told to give I was hoping for more from this book。 I definitely want to love my home again （although I already do love it） and get more organized， but I don't relate at all to this aesthetic。 It's very "subdivision Costco generic home。" There are lots of stock photographs of new houses with really organized bins of things and velvet covered hangers 1/2 inch from each other。 There's also the standard advice about purging things ruthlessly。 Shrug。 I already declutter regularly and don't need to be told to give away half of my sweaters。 I also try to be frugal in my homemaking and this involved a lot of buying organizers， bins， special hangers， etc。 I'm sure it will be a great book for some but I actually prefer my messy house with all of its character to these photos。 Everything looks like it's out of an ad for a big box store， not a home， and there's nothing really new in the ideas。I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review。 。。。more

A practical and inspirational book detailing ways to organize and decorate every nook and cranny for a stress free， clutter controlled home。 Very nicely photographed。 I thank Netgalley and Chronicle Books for the opportunity to read and review this book。

I received this free ARC from NetGalley。 I found this book to be an easy day read。 I love the sections the book are divided into。 One can read the sections which apply to you and skip the ones you don't have。 There are a quite a few tips and ideas on how to declutter and organize， but for me it was nothing new。 It could be because I've read a quite of these type of books。 The pictures were beautiful， but didn't always fit with the text and could have used more explanation。 I received this free ARC from NetGalley。 I found this book to be an easy day read。 I love the sections the book are divided into。 One can read the sections which apply to you and skip the ones you don't have。 There are a quite a few tips and ideas on how to declutter and organize， but for me it was nothing new。 It could be because I've read a quite of these type of books。 The pictures were beautiful， but didn't always fit with the text and could have used more explanation。 。。。more

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the ARC！ This book was the inspiration I needed right now。 With a smaller home and 2 kids， I am often at a loss for how to organize the odds and ends in our home。 Some of the ideas in the book may seem obvious but this book helps you focus on how you live in and run your household。 The organization doesn’t necessarily need to be aesthetically pleasing， just practical which feels more realistic to reach in this phase of life

On page 52 the author uses the term “visual chaos” which aptly describes my house。 The pictures and practical advice were truly inspiring。 I’m not sure I have the energy to even come close to decluttering and organizing what would remain after a “stuff purge” （my own term for decluttering）。 Nevertheless I came away encouraged to make at least some attempts to tame the mess in my house。

Meh。 This will be great for people in new houses with lots of money who like the cookie cutter subdivision look for their homes。 I hated all the stock photos of endless stacked processed foods， toxic cleaning products and generic labeled “living” spaces。 Buy， buy， buy。 Spend， spend， spend。 Everything is new and commercial and soulless。 We live in a 100 year old house with cracks in the walls and books stacked to the ceiling and my grandmother’s old costume necklaces used as curtain ties。 We buy Meh。 This will be great for people in new houses with lots of money who like the cookie cutter subdivision look for their homes。 I hated all the stock photos of endless stacked processed foods， toxic cleaning products and generic labeled “living” spaces。 Buy， buy， buy。 Spend， spend， spend。 Everything is new and commercial and soulless。 We live in a 100 year old house with cracks in the walls and books stacked to the ceiling and my grandmother’s old costume necklaces used as curtain ties。 We buy in bulk， reuse and make homemade。 I don’t want to buy all new velvet hangers for my clothes （yes that’s recommended here） and space them each exactly one inch apart。 I just want a nice functional， somewhat organized house。 I also want it to be frugal and green and to still have charm and character。 This book and I are not good fits。 Thanks Net Galley and the publisher for an advanced preview of this book。 。。。more

3。75 … very nice photography of organizing ideas that might just give you the inspiration needed to declutterfy that attic。 If I had any suggestion， it might be to have added shopping guide on where to get bins， etc。 But overall an aspirational， easy read。 Peeks at some beautiful wallpapers， too。 And I loved the name of the authors’ business: Done and Done！

This book is a package of inspiration。 The mother-daughter team has worked wonders in helping people manage their homes and now they are sharing their knowledge in a book with helpful tips。 “No home is beyond help。” The areas included are: the kitchen， bedrooms， bathrooms， gathering spaces， children’s spaces， home office， laundry， garage and storage spaces。Everyone needs some good guidance to address the overflowing of extra things in food cupboards， drawers and clothes closets。 Many of us have This book is a package of inspiration。 The mother-daughter team has worked wonders in helping people manage their homes and now they are sharing their knowledge in a book with helpful tips。 “No home is beyond help。” The areas included are: the kitchen， bedrooms， bathrooms， gathering spaces， children’s spaces， home office， laundry， garage and storage spaces。Everyone needs some good guidance to address the overflowing of extra things in food cupboards， drawers and clothes closets。 Many of us have boxes and bags in storage that haven’t been touched in years。 They talk about how we tend to buy too many things on sale when it’s not something we need。 And then there’s Costco。 Yes， this is addressed as well。 It’s noted that one-third of Americans can’t fit their cars in garage spaces as it’s crowded with overflows。They discuss mostly how to sort and decide what to do with extra items。 I could relate to how many mugs are seriously needed。 Much is written to inspire homeowners to buy less and let go of all the items that aren’t being used。 We can all use some serious suggestions on how to say goodbye in a thoughtful way to attachments。 It is said that if one can reduce their belongings by at least ten percent， it will be easier to find things。The book is beautifully arranged with appealing photos。 However， many people that need help downsizing are seniors that may have poor eyesight and the print in the book is small。 Kindle can help if it is available or strong reader’s glasses may be advised。 My thanks to Ann Lightfoot and Kate Powlowski along with NetGalley for allowing me to read this advanced copy with a publication date of September 13， 2022。 。。。more

A BIG THANK YOU to Chronicle Books and NetGalley for the ARC of Love Your Home Again by Ann Lightfoot and Kate Pawlowski。 I rate this title a 3。5/5， as it does cover the organizational topics presented in a clear and concise manner。 However， as others have noted， the photography used throughout the book is more aspirational than practical。 It would be more helpful to include a complete home label guide for decanting and storing all the typical items in a household。 The organizational methodology A BIG THANK YOU to Chronicle Books and NetGalley for the ARC of Love Your Home Again by Ann Lightfoot and Kate Pawlowski。 I rate this title a 3。5/5， as it does cover the organizational topics presented in a clear and concise manner。 However， as others have noted， the photography used throughout the book is more aspirational than practical。 It would be more helpful to include a complete home label guide for decanting and storing all the typical items in a household。 The organizational methodology is， in essence， no different than that of other popular methods。 All rely on decluttering and storing items properly so that all items are immediately visible when needed and accounted for in an inventory。 Even still， this title would give anyone a great jumping off point on home organization ideas。 I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。3。5 of 5 StarsPub Date September 2022#LoveYourHomeAgain #NetGalley 。。。more
