Clear Space on Your Christmas List: What to Remove and Why

Make Room for What You Love - Your Essential Guide to Simplifying and Organizing - by NYT Bestselling Author of Love the Home You Have

IIf you’re making a last-minute Christmas list, consider asking for a copy of Make Room for What You Love. I wrote the book, so I’m a bit biased, but it truly helped me simplify and organize my home—and I hope it inspires you too. The ideas inside are practical and designed to help you enter the new year with a clearer, calmer space.

Each January I post my home, business, and personal goals here on the blog. Writing and sharing goals helps me stay focused and gives me a clear direction for the year ahead. This coming year I’m concentrating on creating peaceful, orderly spaces at home, letting go of clutter that weighs me down, and making room for the things that bring joy and inspiration.

Everything I shared in Make Room for What You Love had a noticeable impact on both my home and my life. The strategies in the book have supported me through busy, chaotic seasons—like our recent move and remodel—and they’ve been useful during other hectic times as well. The approach is flexible, so it works whether you’re tackling one drawer or rethinking an entire room.

I’m excited to celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Inspired Room in January and to begin the new year with a renewed focus on peace, order, and beauty at home. I’ll be sharing fresh goals, new projects, and progress updates throughout the year, including lots of details about what’s happening with our house.

The digital version of Make Room for What You Love is available now for $4.99 at most ebook retailers, and a print edition is a great option if you prefer holding a book in your hands. It also makes a thoughtful gift or a helpful resource to work through with friends. If you’d like to follow along on this journey, I’ll be posting steps and ideas on the blog over the coming months.

Wishing you smooth and joyful Christmas preparations!
