One of the newer additions to our collection is 'The Tao of Martha : My Year of LIVING, or Why I'm Never Getting all that Glitter off the Dog' by Jen Lancaster.
After confronting the countertop clutter that had been dumped in the kitchen gun cabinet (a story in itself) and the Drawer of Shame (where anything found on the floor that the pets might choke on gets stuffed), the author decides to see if she can take her home and herself up a notch by following the spirit of the Martha Stewart empire for a year in helping her de-clutter, decorate, revamp her storage, make crafts, throw fabulous parties and basically, get her groove back.
While her attempts occasionally fall a bit (sometimes quite a bit) short of magazine picture ready, she makes a game attempt at her Martha home make-over with a copy of Martha's 'Handmade Holiday Crafts', Martha's web site on her computer and a stack of back issues of 'Living' magazine. Through a difficult year, she not only manages to get her groove back, but her path on the trail to getting both home and life in order might inspire a round of de-cluttering for those following her adventures through her year of living the Martha way.
