Full Description

When life happens, an Insta-worthy organized closet is not worth striving for...but, your home can still be your soft place to land.

Karissa Barker (@karissaathome) loves to pore over aesthetic home organization and décor books. But to be perfectly honest, none have ever given her the tools to change the way things work in her home. Most are little more than a motivational speech with pretty pictures. When she was new to keeping house and life got extra busy or overwhelming, she wished she had someone to hold her hand and give her not just a visual guide, but habits and strategies for a better, easier path to an organized home. After years of experimentation and finding out what works, Karissa offers just that in The Home Reset.

This indispensable guide collects the essential strategies and skills you can rely on to make any space—apartment, condo, or house—cleaner and better organized on a daily basis. Moving through each key room or space, Karissa outlines everything that even the busiest of families can do, always starting with key resets and then exploring the habits and techniques for that space:
 

Kitchen and Dining: Short and long resets, how to join the clean sink club, countertop strategies, how to involve kids, creating easy cleaning stations, considering organization and flow, eliminating clutter, how to clean countertops based on material, how to clean flooring, tips for dishes/pots/pans, creating storage in challenging spaces
