Organize First, Decorate Second is the ultimate companion to help you embark on a transformative journey towards a more organized, beautiful, and fulfilling life.

Whitney English breaks down the essence of thoughtful design and organization as tools not just for a prettier space but for a better life—one that smoothly adapts to the inevitable shifts we all face. She shares how balancing a neat look with functional living isn't always a walk in the park, but the payoff is a space that works just as hard as it charms.

Whitney delves into the details with actionable strategies for putting the house in order. She guides readers through evaluating their spaces, marrying storage with style, and zoning rooms for peak performance. She even helps readers select furniture that doubles down on organization and choose gadgets that aren’t just smart, but genius. Whitney underscores the significance of deliberate design and organization to enhance well-being and adapt seamlessly to life's ever-changing demands.

Organize First, Decorate Second establishes:

  • balance between creativity and organization;
  • inspiration coupled with practical advice; and
  • efficiency without sacrificing creativity.

With Whitney’s guidance, practical tips, seasoned advice, and her signature humour, you’re set to transform your living spaces into zones of beauty and effectiveness. Each chapter is a mix of heartwarming anecdotes, practical advice, and innovative strategies. This book isn’t just about making your home look good—it’s about making your home a reflection of your best self. Whitney doesn’t just want you to organise; she wants you to celebrate each step, no matter how small, because perfection isn't the goal—it's all about the progress.

About the Author

Whitney English believes that anyone can live a beautiful life. She believes that gratitude is the birthplace of joy, that people matter, that love is the answer, that if you're real you can't be ugly, that everyone is creative and some of us have forgotten, and that it's worth trying to be a better version of yourself today than you were yesterday. If you're more into technical details, she has boot-strapped two businesses to seven figures, has a degree in interior design, has studied management at Parsons in New York City, and has had her work featured in O magazine and The Wall Street Journal and on the Today show. She was featured as one of Country Living's Women Entrepreneurs in 2008. One of her favorite dreams come true, though, is her husband, David, and their three children. She nightly dreams of a perfectly organized office.
