New Minimalism: Decluttering and Design for Sustainable, Intentional Living

Product Description

Your external space reflects your internal state. What does your home say about you? This book promises an opportunity for self-reflection and lasting change, by getting to the bottom of why we've accumulated too much stuff in the first place, therefore allowing us to transform our lives. Professional decluttering and design team Cary and Kyle of New Minimalism will take you through every step, from assessing your emotional relationship to your stuff to decluttering your home to then turning it into a beautifully designed space that feels clean and tidy without feeling sparse or prescriptive. And all of this without filling up a landfill--you'll find resources and strategies to donate and reuse your stuff so you don't have to feel guilty about getting rid of it!
CARY FORTIN specialises in the psychology behind decision-making and attachments, as well as connecting with new organisations who can benefit from clients' donations. She graduated with honours from Dartmouth College with a degree in psychology.
KYLE QUILICI specialises in creating beautiful spaces using the items clients already own and love. She graduated from Boston College with a degree in organisational behaviour, studied interior design at Parsons School of Design in New York and earned her certificate in sustainable design from UC Berkeley's Extension.

Together as NEW MINIMALISM, Cary and Kyle have conducted hundreds of decluttering sessions and as a result they have donated over 10,675 cubic feet of clothing, art supplies, furniture, and decor to local charities; that's the equivalent of over 427 bath tubs.
