Product Description
The cupboards are overflowing, the linen closet holds towels and tools, and your once tidy family room might as well come with a ringmaster. But that’s called living, right? Wrong! Marni Jameson is here to prove that you can turn a hectic home into a haven—and do so without being voted off the island. With chapters such as “Kids are Great—They Only Dismantle Your Home One Piece at a Time,” you’ll laugh as you learn whether to opt for solids or patterns; what constitutes “indestructible flooring”; how to organize your house from top to bottom; and how to decorate so home appeal goes up and blood pressure goes down.

House of Havoc is that indispensable guide for making the most of the house you have without driving everyone around you nuts.

Even better than I'd hoped. As a person who has mastered the art of cluttering all horizontal surfaces, this book is just what I needed. Will there be a book signing?

Marni Jameson's book House Of Havoc gives the reader tons of references to the sites of the experts she has consulted in the writing of her book. Not only is the reading easy, fast, funny and entertaining, It's also more informative than you'd expect a light-hearted book to be. What I learned aboout sheet thread count pays for this book. And I can't wait to try the jeweled ceiling stencil around my dining room light fixture. If you're into home decor, this is a fun book.
