Store It: Where to Put all the Things You Need to Keep Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great book for getting organized in the new year. Store It! is full of useful information from top designers. Most of the ideas can be adapted to fit any space, big or small and are practical for every budget.
Store It! is divided into 8 main chapters: Entrance, Welcoming Spaces, Kitchens, Kitchen Extras, Work-Spaces, Bedrooms, Bathrooms and a section called Out-Of-The-Way Places. There is also a resources section to help with shopping and product research.
I enjoyed several of the rooms and found myself marking 5-6 different photos for reference. Several of the photos looked staged and not practical (closets and garage) but overall I walked away with some practical organization ideas. Be sure to read this book. The book offers very smart tips and advice for saving time & space when it comes to organizing everyday items. What I did not get from this book was anything new. I felt like most of the organizational applications had been done before- a real been there, done that moment. I wish there had been more instructional How-To and Do It Yourself tutorials. Most of the shelving and organizational tools looked custom but might be a good starting point for Do It Yourselfers to copy.
If you are trying to get a handle on your current clutter, are downsizing or building a new home, then this book could provide some simple storage ideas and inspiration.
3.5 out of 5 stars
