Giveaway: Lillian Too’s 168 Ways to Declutter Your Home and Re-energize your Life

Leave a comment in today’s post by July 14, 2016 and you are in the running for this book packed full of tips to organize your home and life.

Open to U.S. residents only please.

“Clear the clutter and revitalize your living space. Energy is a precious commodity–the source of vitality, good relationships, and peace of mind. The 168 techniques in this practical guide show how physical clutter is more than just junk–the debris in our home actually creates mental and spiritual blocks to success. When this is cleared, we get the balance back in life, plus a whole range of new opportunities. The book begins with energy basics and practical de-junking suggestions, such as how to clear your desk to create success or rearrange your living room for harmonious relationships, and then presents step-by-step cleansing and revitalization rituals to recharge your home’s atmosphere. The rituals show how to use crystals, salt, rice grains, herbs, incense, flower petals, fragrant water, and amazing visualization techniques to enhance and protect your environment. Chapters on using mystic symbols, such as geometric mantra designs, and magnifying spiritual energy, complete the clutter journey. A section on personalized practices gives inspiring, fast solutions for those bad days: closet-clearing when you feel unattractive, or rearranging your desk when you feel defeated. All rituals and techniques have been personally tried and tested by Lillian Too, and have brought her great personal success.”

  8. We’re downsizing to move into a smaller place, this would be a great read to help

  10. I remember a speaker on PBS saying something like “If you really wanted to have an uncluttered house with one chair, one table and one book, you already would” Well, that’s more extreme than I’d care to go, but I’d love to be able navigate my little apartment with stubbing my toe or knocking things over all the time. Thanks for the giveaway.

  11. I think the book will be useful in learning how to organize and decorate my home without the clutter.

  22. I really really need this book. I have years of stuff I need to get rid of or organize. I just don’t know where to start. I have started but sometimes it’s overwhelming. It’s hard to part with things because I might need it. I know, I know, if you haven’t used it in a year you don’t need it. So I’m ready to start pitching, donating or selling.
    This book would be very helpful.

I Found a Table Made from Mannequin Legs—and I’m Still Not Over It

Okay, I have to tell you about one of the most bizarre-yet-brilliant DIYs I’ve come across in a while. While scrolling through google (as one does when deep into a late-night upcycling rabbit hole), I stumbled on a video tutorial for a table made out of mannequin legs. And honestly? I couldn’t look away.

This project is peak creative chaos—in the best way. The concept is exactly what it sounds like: four mannequin legs, flipped and fixed in place, supporting a standard tabletop. It’s got this quirky, surreal vibe that makes it feel part high fashion, part modern art installation. Think: Tim Burton meets IKEA.

What I loved most about this video is how surprisingly accessible it is. The creator breaks the process down clearly—so even though the end result looks totally wild, the steps are manageable. You’ll need a few tools and a decent amount of glue or screws (depending on how permanent you want this table to be), but nothing too technical.

Design-wise, this piece is an absolute conversation starter. It would look amazing in a creative studio, a funky coffee shop, or even as a statement piece in a minimalist home—anywhere you want to break the “normal furniture” mold. The contrast between the realistic mannequin legs and a basic tabletop is just the right kind of weird.

If you’re into recycled home decor, eco-conscious DIY projects, or just love adding some unexpected personality to your space, this one’s worth bookmarking. Whether or not you ever make it yourself, it’s guaranteed to make you see mannequins—and furniture—in a whole new way.

Catch the full tutorial and see the visual magic for yourself on Recyclart. Just be prepared to say, “Wait, is that a leg?” every time someone visits your house.
