Welcome to your first home on your own! So, how do you want to live? If you want to live surrounded by lots of stuff that serves no purpose in your life but to trip you up, you've got the wrong book. If however, you'd like to learn how to live an organized, streamlined, efficient lifestyle where you care for your beautiful space and possessions easily without stress, maintaining them for longevity so you don't have to waste money replacing them, and ward off the cycle of low-quality, mass-produced consumerism that is contributing to filling landfills with castoffs…well then, have I got the book for you! What you are holding in your hands is not a book on downsizing or decluttering. It is not a book about reorganizing or redecorating. It's a book about not having to do any of those things because you did it right the first time. You're not going to purchase what you don't need. You're not going to stock up on what you won't use. You're not going to spend a ton of money purchasing new, cheap items when there are better quality pieces that just need a bit of love and a good home. And you're not going to follow the playbook handed down to you by the generations who came before, or the design magazines filled with objects you can't afford anyway. This is your moment to step into your new life on the right foot, while saving yourself time, money, and your sanity in the process. Put back that "All New, Must Have" because YOU DON'T NEED IT!
