Who wouldn't like their living space to be more organized? Tapping into the popularity of the "Good Things" column in Martha Stewart Living, Good Things for Organizing provides practical, efficient, and pretty solutions for organizing just about everything, from spools of thread and the silverware drawer to your entire wardrobe and home office.

It is a law of nature: stuff accumulates. Good Things for Organizing shows how to live with stuff comfortably and creatively. In chapters organized room by room, Good Things for Organizing offers a wide range of ingenious ways to tame the clutter, from the basement to the garden shed.

With sections such as "Cleamng Up the Countertop" in the kitchen chapter, "Linen Closet 10" in the closet chapter, and "Organizing Correspondence" in the home office chapter, the editors of Martha Stewart Living have tested all of the possibilities and have created perfect solutions to the most frustrating organizing problems. Included are projects for every level of commitment, from tidying the junk drawer to building the right shelves to display a beloved collection.

As always, Martha Stewart is wonderful...

This book is filled with really creative ideas for organizing in every room of the house (or apartment in my case). The photographs are wonderful and the instructions on ideas are easy to follow.

Like a heavy duty magazine

I'm a self diagnosed magazine junkie. If you're like me, this book is for you. It's like a heavy duty well laid out magazine without the ads. Awesome!

If you're more of a text-book reader then Martha's Housekeeping Handbook... which I also love... is right up your alley.

Oh and by the way... I'm sort of lukewarm to Martha in general, so I don't give rave reviews based on my affection for her!

Organize This!

I like Martha Stewart alot, but everyone is not as rich as she is and everyone does not have all of the space that she has in this book to organize things. The pictures are colorful and bold, I wish she had put in more pictures with smaller rooms, also I love the way she shows you how to fold sheets and shirts,over all she show a lot of detail in how to organize things you never dream of organizing so that in itself is a good thing!

The Title Says It All...

This book is soooo Martha. It has beautiful photographs and the projects have visually beautiful results! But, like some of the other reviewers, I have never used even one of the ideas in this book and I probably never will. I'm still scrambling to get my paperwork filed anywhere out of sight, a meal on the table on time and my laundry put away. I see the projects in this book as the icing on the cake of a very organized home inhabited by a type A personality (Martha). Many of the ideas require a lot of materials, time, money and a carpenter. What I do enjoy about the book is dreaming that someday I will be organized enough to get to the "Good Things" phase. Fantasy is fun!

Decent book

This book is decent. I've read better Martha Stewart idea books. It's a little bit outdated (it talks about organizing video cassettes) and some of the projects require hard-to-find materials (men's suit fabric?) but there are definitely some great ideas and I don't feel like it was a waste a money. I just wish it were a little more practical.
