I loved Reframe & Reclaim. I am a collector and sentimental person myself, and this book helped open my eyes on how to have a better relationship with my space and items. Jennifer provides personal stories and her own design input, while Courtney dives into the psychology behind it all. This was a great way to lay out each chapter! I put this book down and immediately started organizing and decluttering my own space. This book gave me the motivation to reframe my mindset and reclaim my space. Highly recommend!
