Product Description
It is a law of nature: stuff accumulates. Good Things for Organizing shows how to live with stuff comfortably and creatively. In chapters organized room by room, Good Things for Organizing offers a wide range of ingenious ways to tame the clutter, from the basement to the garden shed.
With sections such as "Cleamng Up the Countertop" in the kitchen chapter, "Linen Closet 10" in the closet chapter, and "Organizing Correspondence" in the home office chapter, the editors of Martha Stewart Living have tested all of the possibilities and have created perfect solutions to the most frustrating organizing problems. Included are projects for every level of commitment, from tidying the junk drawer to building the right shelves to display a beloved collection.
IMAGINE THE PERFECT KITCHEN: AN OVERSIZE REFRIGERATOR, AN ENDLESS windowsill of fresh herbs, a cutting block big enough to lie down on, and a Jetsons-style sink that seizes dirty cereal bowls, washes them, and reshelves them. Read the first page

Inspiring ideas,

This review is from: Good Things for Organizing (Paperback)
I'm not usually one to buy books about generic subjects like organizing. But this book intrigued me because it brings a dash of glamour and pinache to an otherwise dull subject and one that I needed to study! All of the ideas are fresh and original. The book goes room by room through the house: Living spaces, Working spaces, Bedrooms, Bathrooms, Basements, etc. Martha and her team make the task of organizing seem do-able and also offer some very stylish ways of keeping clutter out of site, like the hidden book shelves on the sides of a headboard, starting a key corral by the front door or keeping your computer, fax machine and printer in a converted armoire - a 'secret office' you can put anywhere in the house. There are lots of tips for storage, keeping clutter off desks, organizng a pantry, a linen closet, a medicine cabinet, a spice rack, a clothes closet, a laundry room, your kitchen drawers, etc. It's a bit of a vanity project, like most of Martha's books, with photos of Martha's homes and rooms, but that's kind of fun too.

Inspiring photos and text!,
By Angelmind (AR, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Good Things for Organizing (Paperback)
I got this book a while ago and I really love it. The suggestions are useful and very practical. Thanks to this book I now fold fitted sheets properly, which is a big drawer-space-saver. The photos are very helpful and the text is appropriate and addresses what is shown in the pictures/illustrations. I actually read the book from cover to cover, and found it very pleasant besides being informative. My mother-in-law is in the process of organizing her closets and she has asked to borrow this book again from me. I should probably get her her own copy... My final point is that this is a great buy and you will not regret it.

Not always practical for small spaces,
By "cub4bear" (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Martha Stewart Living Good Things for Organizing: Good Things With Martha Stewart Living (Paperback)
Very visually appealing and fun to read. Unfortunately many of the ideas are not cheap (for example, linen-covered boxes.) Also, this book is filled with good ideas for people living in houses, but many of the ideas are not necessarily applicable to people who have smaller apartments. Having said that, there are still many ideas that she uses are universal and can apply to any space. Not as strong as some of her other books, but still worth buying, especially if you have a house and lots of stuff to store.
