I'm going to totally echo the other reviews. It really felt like the solutions were intended for someone with a LOT of space and just too much stuff as opposed to someone with limited space wanting to get organized. There wasn't much in the way of actual decluttering. A lot of times I also felt the solution was to get a bigger house.

Pretty photos, but doesn't actually tell you a damn thing about organizing.
The solutions listed in this book consist of "get a bigger house" or "get more storage space."

I was highly disappointed and I expected better. The only reason it even earns one star from me is for the photos.

I have only read through the first chapter and have to say that the title is misleading. There isn't much advice in this book on how to declutter anything--just buy another container and shove it in there. You will find more helpful hints on decluttering, minimalism, and organizing on Pinterest. Disappointing.

Little to be learnt from this book. Should be called "Buy a bigger house and put your stuff in the attic, garage, basement or spare room!"

Lots of pictures, which was nice, and lots of tips and ideas. But it didn't contain any new ideas for an organizational freak like me. =)

Good title, very little useful advice. More like a catalog/showroom of nice-looking spaces.

Pretty pictures but not useful.
