awesome book! so many things I would never think of!!! I got it from the library first and now I will buy it because there are so many ideas I can't remember them all! :-)

This book has a ton of different and clever organizing solutions—maybe not the best as the title boasts, but good! Not all are attractive finished projects but many don't have to be. Some projects seem more work than they're worth, at least for me, but the reuse of materials in unexpected ways is admirable and creative. It made me think of other ways to organize things. One thing that really drove me crazy about this book is the often hokey photography. It brings the book down.

This book is full of great DIY suggestions for building storage solutions, especially for the garage or shed. I haven't tried any of the projects as of this date, so I can't comment on the accuracy of the instrustions. Pictures are great, so the average handy person should be successful.

Some good ideas, although some of the garage ones are a bit over the top (although I suppose it depends on what type of do-it-yourselfer you really are).

This book has so many cool projects. I wish I did more wood work because I would do every, I mean every project. I love the ideas of using pringle cans for paint rollers, and oil bottles to store nails and other small objects.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for clever organizational tips.

Fantastic! Full of great ideas for storage and organizing in many rooms of the house. Most assume use of basic power tools. We've used 2 projects in our house already (cutting board storage on page 24 & measuring cup/spoon hanger on page 46) and have plans for more. Very practical.

Lots of good organizing projects especially for the kitchen and garage

[Tracey]

Great tips for a tidy bathroom, kitchen, accessory clip ups, a handy book for working families.

[Trish]

This book is full of useful tips.

Includes building projects and lots of clear, colorful pictures of cabinets, shelves and other organizing structures. Fun to look at, with some very clever solutions. Definitely worth a look.

There are a lot of good ideas for storage in this book, however, most of the storage ideas include building units which are above my woodworking abilities.
