This is a must-have resource! It is full of great strategies, advice, and easy to implement ideas. This is one I'll return to again and again. Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.

Love Your Home Again is a fantastic book to inspire readers to take matters into their own hands and revolutionize the way they interact and organize their homes.

I really enjoyed this book! It contains so many fantastic tips and tricks for organization. The terms section in the beginning was very helpful and I loved how clearly it conveyed that this was more than just organization - it was about reducing what you own and purchasing with intent so you don't get into a loop decluttering items over and over again.

Personally, my favorite section in this book was the bedroom! I've always had a very clean office but a mess of a bedroom and I even wrote down tips to take with me into my next cleaning session. I think a lot of readers will find one section or another more beneficial than others because of their own tidying habits.

Overall, with the great photography, fun captions, and varied information - Love Your Home Again is a great resource for anyone looking to tidy up their less than magazine-ready home.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Chronicle Books for providing me with a copy for an honest review!

Love Your Home Again, the latest book by Ann Lightfoot and Kate Powlowski, is chock full of great house organizing ideas...some new, some you’ve heard a million times. Bottom line, however, the tips are clear and concise and the photos are gorgeous. I enjoyed it very much. Matter of fact, I’m heading to a home store soon to get started on some things so I can fall in love with my house all over again.

Great tips to organize you home. I like that these tips are actually things that you can apply to your own home. The pictures are great. Articles are detailed but not too long.

I read an advanced reader copy. Declutter, organize, repeat. Beautiful pictures and well written text. But…every item in this WAY organized house is new or else exceptionally clean, no dirt on any of the trainers in that shoe organizer. Everything is overly coordinated as well, in size, color, brand, etc. including the canned goods in the pantry. I kept thinking “who has the money to buy all those containers and then to meticulously label them. OCD is not me…except for switch plates.

Love Your Home Again was a very quick and easy read. It is a book that can easily be read in one sitting (which is precisely what I did tonight, when I intended to just sit down and read a few chapters). I like the way it's divided into specific areas of the home, so that a reader can focus on the areas in their home that need the most work or choose to skip areas that don't apply to their situation.

I thought the book provided some useful tips, though nothing groundbreaking. I didn't feel as if it provided some new insight that I had never seen before. One thing that I found interesting is that there were lots of photos showing very organized spaces, and I expected to read more about some of the methods employed in the photos. There were plenty of instances where some of those methods were mentioned, but certainly a lot more photos than there were explanations (though admittedly, some photos were self-explanatory).

While the book did address small space solutions here and there, it didn't have quite as much advice and ideas for small spaces as I was hoping for. There was a lot of focus of how to better organize and utilize closet spaces and pantries (which I realize is helpful for the majority of readers), but as someone that lives in a 100 year old with quite literally ZERO closets, I found it somewhat lacking in ideas for storage spaces for someone in my situation.

Overall, I found it to be more about decluttering than organizing, if that makes sense. While there were certainly organizational ideas in every section of the book, I didn't walk away from it with a list of organizational ideas I wanted to implement. But to be fair, I've previously read at least a handful of books about decluttering at this point and have slowly changed the way I live to implement many ideas into my living space - so maybe that's why I didn't take as much from this book as I would have expected.

A few things I did really like:
-They provide a simple, step-by-step solution that you can apply to just about every room and/or space that you want to declutter. As long as you learn this very simple system, you can apply it to most decluttering projects.
-Great points are made about things that people tend to buy too much of and never use up (A big one for me is tea - yes, I said tea. I am not even a tea drinker, but the marketing sucked me in and I am the current owner of no less than 15 boxes of tea which are all beyond their "best by" date. Why? Because I don't drink tea!)
-It addresses the idea of feeling that you'd be much happier if you had more storage space, and does so in a way that left me feeling somewhat relieved about NOT having more storage space.
-The photography was beautiful and provided many great organizing ideas that weren't spelled out in the text. While at first that threw me off, it's actually a great way to keep the reader's interest and provide specific organization ideas without having to write it all out.

All in all, because it was a quick and easy read, I do feel that it was worth my time. But if you have read other books on decluttering and are hoping for this one to have new and novel ideas, you might be disappointed.

Thank you to NetGalley and Chronicle Prism Books for the e-arc in exchange for my honest review.
