The Clutter-Free Home Making Room for Your Life by Kathi Lipp

This is a really useful book if you want to do the hard work involved in decluttering. Kathy Lipp used to have thirteen bookcases, and tells a story about thanking her friend (who has five children) for cleaning the house for her.  The friend said that she actually didn't clean the house before Kathy visited! Kathy Lipp then decided to try and follow her example.

This is different from most decluttering books because it allows for messiness, and it is also written from a Christian perspective! Kathy Lipp wants readers to repurpose and reorganise their houses so that they become relaxing and warm spaces. She has helpful chapters on how to declutter every room, according to the purpose of the room, the zones of the room and how you would like the room to look and feel. I found that her chapter on the living-room was not as detailed as the other chapters, unfortunately. She also has general advice on what to keep and what to throw away, and on daily and weekly decluttering tasks.  It's all extremely difficult but it's certainly helpful. (It's difficult for me!)

This is certainly a keeper!

I received this free ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
