TV TATTLE
What happens after Marie Kondo leaves?
-
Los Angeles Magazine visited the home of Tidying Up participants Wendy and Ron Akiyama, and found that they're still using the KonMari method. Since Kondo's TV crew departed, Wendy Akiyama says she feels like her house lost "10,000 pounds." Still, she hasn't gotten rid of everything. “I mean, I still have 149 jackets,” she says. “Kondo is fine with that as long as each one sparks joy.”
