Temporarily unavailable
Sale price$59.00

The Home Reset is a digestible, room-by-room guide to cleaning and organising, with realistic expectations and a sense of humour. When life happens, an Insta-worthy organised closet isn't worth striving for, but your home can still be your soft place to land.

Karissa Barker loves to pore over aesthetic home organisation and decor books, but none ever gave her the tools to change the way things actually worked in her home. After years of experimentation and finding out what works, Karissa offers real habits and strategies in The Home Reset. This indispensable guide collects essential strategies for the kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, entry spaces, laundry and kids' spaces, moving through key resets and the habits that keep each space working day to day. It also includes a chapter of core skills for extra-challenging seasons of life, plus a robust appendix of Karissa's popular checklists and printables.
