Ideas, Tips, and Prompts for Recording and Organizing Everything

The most beloved homes create some joyful chaos—lively game nights or art projects in progress—as well as plenty of relaxation and comfort. Having one place to record all of your home’s details, from essential phone numbers to perennial to-dos, makes it easier to keep organized so you’ll have more time to enjoy the day-to-day. It is also a sanity saver, helping you preserve information that would otherwise get lost over the years, such as the exact paint color on your living room walls or when the HVAC system was installed.

The new book "Diary of Your Home: Ideas, Tips, and Prompts for Recording and Organizing Everything" can do just that. A practical organizer and guided journal in one, "Diary of Your Home" offers prompts and lined pages for noting essential information, from your handyperson’s phone number to your bedroom’s dimensions. Covering topics as diverse as furnishings, repairs, landscaping, and entertaining, this book also encourages you to preserve your family’s memories and traditions, such as heirloom recipes and favorite activities. "Diary of Your Home" includes space for decor wish lists and renovation project planning for the future as well.
