My Journey to a Simple Home
I'm Elsie Callender, and I've been fascinated by the idea of simple living since I was a little girl. Although I loved the idea of simple living, it wasn’t until a few years ago that my husband and I really buckled down and began the process of truly allowing our home the space to breathe.
Truth be told, we didn’t have many other options, because we were preparing to move into a 600 square-foot cabin - with no closets! As you can see, it was crucial that we decluttered our space and find a method for simplifying our home.
And that’s exactly what my husband and I did! We examined every single item we owned with a critical eye and asked some key questions to decide if we valued the item enough to have it in our new home. Your Simple Home Handbook is a step-by-step guide to lead you through my method of decluttering and loving your home.
A Simple and Freeing Lifestyle
The path to simplifying is a beautiful journey that actually becomes a lifestyle - a journey that never really ends. And every single step is so worth it.
Today, I can tell you that living in an uncluttered home is so freeing! We have less to clean and put away around the house. Any clutter that finds its way into our lives is no reason to despair or feel guilty, because we now have a system for eliminating that clutter and keeping it at bay.
If I had known how much simplifying would enrich our lives, I would have gone full speed ahead much earlier!
Won’t you come along and join me on the beautiful journey to a simple, breathable home?
I found this book to be easy to read, well-said, motivating and helpful. In fact, I've already done a few of the projects listed. But more than that, I'm understanding the value of a simple home more than ever. Thanks Elsie for this great resource!

This isn’t your ordinary de-clutter book! It’s a handbook that walks you through a simple step-by-step process to de-clutter and organize 30 spaces in your home. I love the questions she asks to help guide your decision on what to keep and what to get rid of. They aren’t your typical ‘Have I used this in the past year?’ questions. They are meaningful and insightful and really help you decide what’s worth keeping. Callender even provides a section on what to do with all the items you are discarding (with tips on how to sell them through an online site). I love this handbook, and I can’t wait to start checking off the spaces on the checklist at the end of the book!

I love how the author breaks down each area of your home and gives you a step-by-step guide on how to de-clutter. Then she takes it a step further and gives you practical tips and advice to keep it neat and tidy (and more beautiful!).
I am such a fan of simple living, and I wish I had a resource like this years ago.
