Joanna Gaines's 's design book Homebody is filled with carefully laid-out tips and tricks that Jo utilizes whenever she attacks a design project. In other words: She's giving you the tools to be her.
People are already freaking out about the wonderful design insight throughout (even Jo's daughter oldest daughter Ella has marked all her favorite pages in her own copy), but we've got to thank the geniuses at PureWow for pointing out one hack that had slipped our radar.
Homebody: A Guide to Creating Spaces You Never Want to Leave

In Homebody, Jo stressed the importance of clearing your counter of everything but the essentials in order to make the room look bigger. You hear that, small kitchen owners? Get the clutter off your surfaces and the space will immediately look larger. Think of the essentials as the stuff you reach for every day: spices and oils, cutting boards, cooking utensils, a kitchen timer.
She goes on to tell readers about a hack within that hack: use "cutting boards to keep items organized." So those spices or your favorite cookbook (perhaps Jo's own Magnolia Table?) can sit on top of a large wood chopping block that's too pretty to stash.
Genius, huh?
