There are a lot, A LOT, of great tips, ideas and plans for getting your house under control and getting organized. There are photos on every page, each bright and colorful, and with captions for each one. The book offers a great breakdown of room by room and category chapters which gives you a great sense of theme and direction. My one complaint, only one, is that they banish stuff to the garage often. This is interesting because there is no garage chapter! And I am NOT allowed to go into my husband's space and store things in the garage so I found that to be interesting.
Over all, the book was fantastic and fun and very smart.

On page 89, the author offers a tip called, "Healthful Bedrooms." This is a direct quote from this:

"Plants can improve the air quality in your home, but it's best to keep them out of the bedroom because they absorb oxygen. You wind up competing with them for oxygen as you sleep."

Anyone who took a basic middle school science class knows that this is patently false. Plants absorb carbon dioxide, which is actually beneficial for us. How this blatant and astounding mistake made it through her editors is amazing.
