Keep What You Love cover

This engaging guide encourages readers to thoughtfully declutter their homes. Keep What You Love combines whimsy with practical advice for a simplified life.

In Keep What You Love, readers are invited to explore the delicate balance between sentimentality and practicality. This small, illustrated impulse book draws inspiration from the charm of Flow's Tiny Pleasures and the trendy practicality of Marie Kondo. It encourages individuals to reflect on the items cluttering their homes and question their true value. From chipped dishes to defunct chargers, this guide prompts readers to assess what they genuinely need in their lives.

Each page features whimsical illustrations of everyday items that often accumulate in our spaces, such as novelty ice cube trays, a manual typewriter, and even family photos. Beneath each illustration are two simple checkboxes: Yes and No. This interactive element allows readers to engage with the process of decluttering in a fun and thoughtful way. The book serves not only as a checklist for decluttering but also as a gentle reminder to cherish what truly matters.

Moreover, Keep What You Love is filled with practical tips for dealing with items that hold sentimental value, like children's artwork or old toys. It offers creative ideas for preserving memories while still making space for new experiences. This delightful guide is an inspiring gift for anyone looking to simplify their life and reconnect with the things they truly cherish.
