review 1: This book has numerous good ideas, but the problem with being organized is that no matter how many sorting boxes you put in your house, it wont matter unless you make a point to USE them.I've begun to use a few of their ideas, and while sometimes I feel like I'm being all OCD about sorting, they're generally working. There were a few thoughts like magnetic strips on the kitchen wall that I feel look just too utilitarian and unwelcoming, and so you need to balance homey-ness with clutterlessness. Your choice. Yes a knife block takes up some more space, but who really wants a bunch of knives stuck on and obvious on the wall, all edges glistening. And if you are a fervent cooker, then having more than one pot of certain sizes isnt clutter, its necessary. Again, its like work-... morelife balance.So take what you need, and good luck!
review 2: This is definitely an eye-pleasing book (lots of pictures), but a lot of this information is common sense or stuff most people learn throughout their lives. Unfortunately, nothing just gets organized. Organization (and staying organized) takes work and diligence. All the containers and labels and whatnot won't help if you don't do it and keep it up! Platt's book covers pretty much all areas in our homes from closets to kitchens to food storage to home offices/guest rooms and everything in between. There were a few moments when I said, "That's a good idea," so the book has been useful. I was pleased to note how many organizational ideas outlined in this book that I already use or practice. If only there were a fool-proof and permanent method of "organizing" laziness, I'd be all set... less
