By August Hirsch

"A master class in functional style" (Billy Cotton), by the founders of NEAT Method

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, including quick wins that can be accomplished in just twenty minutes as well as larger overhauls that may take an hour or more, including: A "drop zone" for dirty shoes and sports gear at the garage door Compartmentalized drawers for everything from kitchen utensils to makeup to socks A color-coded bedroom closet A playroom kids will actually keep tidy 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.
