The Hip Girl's Guide to Homemaking demonstrates that it is not only
possible, but also convenient to employ low-cost (and sometimes free!)
creative solutions to produce an inviting space for living and
entertaining. It is the perfect reminder for forward thinking women and
their counterparts that looking back is the best way to move forward.
The Hip Girl's Guide to Homemaking's fun easy-to-read chapters are
divided into three categories for taking the stress out of living
thoughtfully in the modern world.
Section One, Home-ify Your Pad,
features quick and easy ways to make your place cozier with low-cost,
special touches to help you tap into and show off your inner artist.
Section Two, Impressive Acts of Domesticity, teaches readers to impress
others (and themselves) with the gratifying pleasures of
self-sufficiency-a first-time guide to cleaning, sewing, repairing-all
those previously out-of-the-question tasks.
Section three, Life After
Restaurants get readers to put down the take-out menus, avoid pricey bar
tabs, and entertain others in the space you've so thoughtfully and
gorgeously created.
User-friendly how-to sidebars as well as two-colour
line drawings, and Kate's tongue-in-cheek style of writing keep readers
alert and tuned in to her much-needed advice.
A special bonus section
at the back of the book offers easy-to-follow recipes and do-it-yourself
craft suggestions for making your home hip, comfortable, and inviting.
