Really cute book that covers a lot of the basics. I wish I had this book when I left for college! Great for folks who rent, and are therefore limited in the type of customizing they can do. A great overview of mindful home-keeping with links and resources fir further exploration.
Although this had some good information, it wasn't quite was I was hoping for. This is better suited to someone just out of college, or who has never really lived on their own.
By no means an exhaustive guide of how to do everything, but this would be a good start for someone who is living on her own for the first time (in an apartment or house). Topics include: DIY decorating, cleaning, laundry, gardening, party hosting.
