A Practical and Creative How To

By Dan Herman - May 6, 2011

The title, The Hip Girl's Guide to Homemaking: Decorating, Dining, and the Gratifying Pleasures of Self-Sufficiency--on a Budget--says it all. Kate Payne has put together a book that will help you be creative and learn how to take care of your home...without spending a fortune!

Payne writes in a conversational tone--easy breezy--and fun. The book is filled with useful tips on everything from fixing things to cooking to crafts.

The book is arranged into three sections--a room to room guide, then a section on cleaning house, clothes and the essential tools--and how to use them--that you need. (Think about it--if you can't do simple fix-its, you can't be self-sufficient, right?) Finally, the third section is a cooking primer and guide to entertaining.

Payne loves to shop at thrift stores, flea markets and on Craigslist..and she explains how you can find stuff you need and love. The book is loaded with creative, practical and inexpensive tips. For example,... read more

Hip Tricks for Thoughtful Modern Living

By JasmineLG - May 31, 2011

What a great book! It made me think about my space and how I can improve it, make it more inviting and livable while working with what I have. This is not a book that will tell you to go out and buy a bunch of new stuff, but use what you have and look at them with fresh eyes. Tons of helpful hints and hip tricks to being less product-dependent. Makes a great gift for anyone with a space to claim.

For earliest beginners

By Kate - August 29, 2011

I am a beginner - I've never waterbath canned and I have only just scratched the surface of the amazing wonders of baking soda and vinegar - but this book seemed too beginner even for me.

Most of it seems common sense, there are a few good recipes and ideas for improvement however you could probably find a more intensive book if this is your interest (I'm liking Put Em Up). Essentially, if you've ever lived in your own apartment before, you probably know everything in the book.
