Zero substance - look on Pinterest.
Wow, where are all of these amazing reviews coming from?? I read the entire book in less than an hour, and the only new thing I came away with was remove items from original packaging before putting in pantry. Every other single tip can be summarized as: 1. Get nice closet shelving, such as California Closets, in every storage space. 2. Get clear storage bins for said shelving. 3. Organize everything in those clear, labeled bins by category, color, function, etc. 4. Label every storage bin.
When I saw a picture in the book of a so-called organized kitchen drawer with all of the nice kitchen knives laying on top of one another with no separation, I nearly lost it. You NEVER, EVER lay kitchen knives in one bin/drawer sleeve on top of one another. It’s a really, really good way to get cut, not to mention that you’re really gonna F up your nice chefs knives. With all of the name dropping they did in the book, you’d figure they are used to clients with pricey chefs knives. Some of my best knives were hundreds of $$, and there is no way you’ll ever find them nestled together in a drawer. They’ll be in a knife block or on a magnetic strip. To me, that seems like organization 101!!!!
Finally, the pics are beautiful and inspirational, but save yourself money - you can find exactly the same stuff on Pinterest for free and buy cool organizing bins with the money you saved!!
