review 1: My favorite parts of this book are the photos of all sorts of differently cluttered homes and all the reasons they have for living the way they do. It is endlessly fascinating to me to learn about people who live in ways completely different from my own. It helps me relax and embrace whatever sort of home I choose to create - or even to accept what it is, even if it's not exactly what I want.I also really loved the chapter on unmade beds. I hadn't thought about what an intimate portrait of our lives our beds convey, and how much of a refuge and retreat they provide for us. Plus I just love to sleep, no secret about that.Love this quote:"No matter where we live . . . we choose a place to call home and create in it a life that suits us and those we share it with. We fil... morel it with memory and dreams, and possibly too many things, but whether cluttered or clean we do our best to be good housekeepers, making our homes the perfect place for living."A home filled with memory and dreams. That's what I really want.
review 2: I liked this book, but I had higher expectations for it...I really enjoyed reading paragraphs here and there about how to find comfort in your home as well as making your home more welcoming and enjoying clutter and an umade bed on occasion. I like how it declared we don't need to have a perfectly kept house to be happy and we can enjoy the personal clutter that makes our houses a home and how it personally represents our lives. I didn't like the authors taste on every persons clutter, but I enjoyed the general theme of the book. less
