With The Hip Girl's Guide to Homemaking, it's possible and even convenient to create an inviting space for living and entertaining on a budget. From unique dÉcor ideas to growing strawberries on your fire escape, Kate Payne shares fun, low-cost (and often free!) creative solutions that will make anyone feel more accomplished in minutes.
Inside this savvy motivational guide filled to the brim with small-scale creative home projects, Kate's tongue-in-cheek tone will keep you tuned in to her much-needed advice. In three easy sections, you'll learn how to create a comfortable space while being time- and budget-conscious. Section One, Home-ify Your Pad, features quick, convenient 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 how to impress others (and yourself) with the gratifying pleasures of self-sufficiency—a first-time guide to cleaning, sewing, repairing, and other previously out-of-the-question tasks. Section Three, Life After Restaurants, frees you to release the take-out menu, avoid pricey bar tabs, and entertain others in the space you've so thoughtfully and gorgeously created.
User-friendly "how-to" sidebars, illustrations, and tips
and tricks throughout the book offer easy-to-follow recipes
and do-it-yourself craft suggestions for making your home
hip, comfortable, and inviting. Keep in mind that this is
not your grandmother's handbook and it's not the kind of
wisdom your mom knows how to impart. Modern women need a
modern approach to domestic pleasures—a guide to doing
household things on our own terms, because most of this
stuff isn't as hard as we've been led to believe. Don't
worry, she's not asking you to host Tupperware parties or
iron your underwear. But as all beginning home keepers
know, a sure fire way to feel bad about ourselves is to
consult Martha Stewart. So ditch that 2-inch thick
handbook, dust off your pots and pans, and join Kate on
this journey to incorporating creativity and
self-sufficiency on the home front.
