Simply Spaced: Clear the Clutter and Style Your Life by Monica Leed

I received a digital copy of this ARC from NetGalley and Rock Point in exchange for an unbiased review.

This is a well organized and beautifully illustrated book about how to declutter and simply life. Streamlining and decluttering is an overwhelming task for most people. Just thinking about it makes my heart beat fast and makes me sweat. I began to feel guilty and embarrassed about the surroundings in which I read this book. Of course, I didn’t stop reading to tidy up for fear I would overlook some useful advice.

This is serious stuff! The author actually explains how you can determine your “clutter capacity” examining separate sections of your home. For the overly ambitious she provides suggestions for organizing photos, mementos, office and utility space!

The book also provides useful worksheets for each chapter which covers a specific area. She explains how to set up your work space to begin your adventure into her strategy to simplify, streamline and style your home.

The chapters are pretty thorough with photographic examples. The chapters include: Kitchen, Bedroom, Closet, Bath and beauty, Living space, Kids space, Storage and utility, Office, Photos and Mementos.
She wraps up the book with a complete resource guide to assist with purchasing organizational products.
