4.0 out of 5 stars Using Martha's Common Sense, June 7, 2001
This review is from: Good Things for Organizing (Good Things with Martha Stewart Living) (Paperback)
If I had never used even one of the suggestions/ideas in this book, it is beautiful to look at and wonderfully organized.

Even the unrealistic (for me) ideas let me fantasize....not a bad thing!

Martha Stewart's staff has compiled organizational ideas for every room of the house (and even rooms that most of us do not have). Many of the ideas are just common sense, but things I would not have thought of on my own. I had quite a few "ah-ha" moments while reading this book.

I have used several of the ideas: for the broom closet, the office, the garage, and for folding those darn fitted sheets that always end up in a ball, it seems.

I loved the picture wall, the fold-out windowsill, the armoire converted into an office, the herb "pantry", and the spice drawers.

Now if Martha would just send someone over to make all these things for me!

4.0 out of 5 stars Visually perfect; a little lacking in depth., September 16, 2001

This review is from: Good Things for Organizing (Good Things with Martha Stewart Living) (Paperback)
Ingenious ways to organize just about every part of your house and inspiring photos of that oh-so-Martha style make this book a must have for any Martha fan or compulsive neat-nick. However, for those looking for a all-out guide to organizing, this book is more fluff than stuff. While you do get to see a lot of the ideas, the pictures limit the amount of space for instructions and tips. Most, if not all, of the ideas come from her magazine, so for those of us stock-piling issues and issues of it, this book provides a to-the-point compilation. Mostly useful for inspiration and as a visual guide, look elsewhere for much more. Not as lengthy as I might have liked--- I hope Martha comes out with a more comprehensive guide in the future. I'd recommend this to fans of the Martha style only.

5.0 out of 5 stars THANK YOU MARTHA!!!!!, June 28, 2001
By 
Bradley Fletcher (Tucson, Arizona USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Good Things for Organizing (Good Things with Martha Stewart Living) (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book. Before this book, my life at home was out of order and everything was a mess. After reading this book, I had a host of ideas to help me organize my food pantry and bathroom, etc, etc. My life is now more orderly and much simpler at home. My home has become a more pleasant place to spend time. Keeping my home in order after all these changes requires virtually no maintenance. Martha's ideas were of VERY little cost if it cost me anything at all.I discovered that I could use things that I already had around my house. I found new and more practical uses for literally 100's of objects in my home. I recommend this book to anyone who needs a little organizing in their lives.WAY TO GO MARTHA!!!!!!!!!!
