Organizing Idea BookJohn Loecke’s Organizing Idea Book is beautiful.  An interior decorator’s book. Because Loecke is an interior decorator who understands organizing principles and who employs them creatively, playfully and with great care.

Simplify your space create order & reduce stressMarcia Ramsland’s book annoys me. I unfortunately find it an “Of course you can” book. “Of course you can” books always work on a premise of “this is simple, there’s no reason on Earth why you can’t do this.” They also tend to be one-size-fits-all. ...
