But it's not overwhelming because the author really holds your hand and walks you through the whole process and it's quite enjoyable. I didn't expect so many checklists, diagrams, illustrations, different ways to analyze and consider your need and style and preferences-- this little book is just PACKED full of good stuff and it's FUN to read-- go figure. I am extremely pleased with this book. The underlying ideas are very reminiscent of old Feng Shui ideas-- that your living space affects your mood and thus your life-- except more practical and without the superstition. Whew, what a relief. I loved the explanation of flow through the apartment, and the easy, step-by-step weekly plans-- because otherwise it would all be too overwhelming.
I first started with this book in December of 2007 and have revisited it more times than I can count. It has been a phenomenal springboard for our home in terms of both healthy functioning, and creating a decorative scheme that actually works with who we are. I got it from the library and am finally purchasing my own copy because they kept making me bring it back (imagine that).While I can understand the other reviewers frustration with its lack of visuals to back up its content, I actually find that refreshing. Instead of showing you other people's spaces, styles and solutions, it walks you through the process of analyzing your own space, defining your own style, and addressing the direct and indirect lifestyle issues that affect how your home actually functions.Once I was able to recognize and rectify the issues this book helped me identify, it was amazing how things began to come together.
