Event Details

Join author and organizing expert Bonnie Borromeo Tomlinson for an engaging discussion inspired by her books Stop Buying Bins & other blunt but practical advice from a home organizer , Stop Pushing Perfection & and just create a home you can actually live in, and her newest release, You Don’t Need It & other motherly advice from a home organizer on setting up your first home .

A former interior decorator and professional organizer with clients across Maryland, Virginia, and D.C., Bonnie blends real-life experience with practical advice to help people take control of their spaces and their stuff. Now based in Amherst, Massachusetts, she also serves as the Visual Merchandiser for the UMass Store at her alma mater, the University of Massachusetts.

Program highlights will include:

  • Ways to profit—both financially and emotionally—from what you let go
  • Creating organizing systems that suit your lifestyle, not someone else’s
  • Breaking the habit of over-shopping
