Eric Steele has spent his working life making things for other people — environments, fixtures, cabinetry, landscapes, hardscapes, interiors — and most of all, figuring out how to get things completed to a high standard. These are the books that came out of that.
Two books about the things most of us put off. No transformation promised and no lecture — just a method that works, written the way one person would explain it to another.
How to declutter your home and keep it from filling back up
You have decluttered before. This is about why it came back. A purge removes what accumulated; it doesn’t change what happens tomorrow. Every object has a there — you decide it the first time it’s in your hand.
A family’s guide to early dementia & Alzheimer’s
The repeated question. The bill that didn’t get paid. You noticed the changes — and then, like most families, you waited. This is for that moment: the early stretch, when it feels too soon to act and it’s quietly becoming too late to wait.
Companion workbook to You’re Not the Bad Guy for Noticing
If you had to step in tomorrow, would you know where anything is?
Which bank. Which insurance. Who the doctor is, where the will is kept, how to get into the accounts. In most families it all lives in one person’s head.
The book is about the window to write it down together, while they can still tell you. The Family Inventory is where you write it: every account, all the property, the full digital life, health and wishes — with a conversation opener for each section, so it feels like reminiscing rather than interrogating. You never write a password into it, only where the password is kept.
$12.99 — one purchase, all three formats. Same price as the paperback.

Six books, one American house style each: Mid-Century Modern, Modern Farmhouse, Victorian, Craftsman, Ranch and Colonial. The plates are drawn in the style of an architectural rendering, and every plate faces a page of facts about what’s on it. Each book closes with a visual glossary of the details that define the style.
Hardcover, 8.25 × 11 inches, 33 or 34 plates. The back of every plate is a page of text, not another drawing, so color that bleeds through never lands on a plate. Start with the style of the house you live in.
