Description
More than a decluttering guide, this book "speaks to the heart and soul of the minimalist lifestyle . . . a must-have manual for serenity in the modern world!" (Anne Sage, author of Sage Living).
For anyone looking to declutter, organize, and simplify, author Erin Boyle shares practical guidance and personal insights on small-space living and conscious consumption. At once pragmatic and philosophical, Simple Matters is an essential manual for anyone who wants to bring more purpose and sustainability to their daily lives. Boyle demonstrates how the benefits of "living small" are accessible to us all—whether we're renting a tiny apartment or purchasing a three-story house.
 
Filled with personal essays, projects, and helpful advice on how to be inventive and resourceful in a tight space, Simple Matters shows that living simply is about making do with less and ending up with more: more free time, more time with loved ones, more savings, and more things of beauty.

        March 15, 2016

        Moving into a small Brooklyn apartment encouraged Boyle to examine her lifestyle, purchases, and priorities. The blogger behind Reading My Tea Leaves shares what she's learned about decluttering, decorating, beauty, wardrobe, cleaning, cooking, and entertaining all with an eye toward purchasing and keeping essentials that are healthful to her family and the environment. The fewer than 100 color photographs focus on the details of her decor, yet what is visible shows light-filled interiors with pared-down furnishings. For each topic, Boyle provides a list to aid with the simplification steps, such as where to donate items, suggested beauty compounds, basic items for cooking needs, and recipes for self-made and natural cleaning products. VERDICT Boyle's accounts about how she achieved a sustainable lifestyle will provide inspiration to those wishing to do the same.
