Homemakers: A Domestic Handbook for the Digital Generation by Brit Morin

This book is more of a reference type book so it doesn't fit into the typical book review outline, so I'm just going to make one up:

Author: "After graduation, Morin moved to Silicon Valley. She worked at Apple on iTunes and later spent four years at Google, where she helped launch projects such as Google TV, Google Maps, Google Search, and iGoogle.^[1]

In 2011, at age 25, she left Google to start Brit + Co, a media and commerce company focused on empowering and inspiring women to fully embrace their potential, and find a more informed, entertained and empowered creative self. Brit + Co has a monthly audience of 125M online and across platforms." (Wikipedia)

Concept: "Over the past three generations, the rules of homemaking and our very notions of what a homemaker is and does have radically changed. We are still a nation of makers, but we are crafting and creating beyond the home, in both the analog and digital worlds. And in the next ten years, “making” and “homemaking” will evolve further. Tomorrow’s women will find themselves actually manufacturing everything from decor to clothing, from right inside their homes." (Goodreads)

Layout: The book's chapters are divided into the rooms a home might have and then giving helpful information, advice/hacks, inspiration, explanation of new technologies coming to that area, and instructions for a few specific crafts. 

For example - in the kitchen section there is instructions on how to cook eggs in several different ways, info what shape of wine glass fits each type of drink, patterned place mat craft instructions, and info on new and upcoming kitchen gadgets.  

Other rooms/spaces included are: living room, bathroom, bedroom, closet, gym, work/creative space.

Potential Takeaways/Projects: There were three projects that I might make use of in my own home: 1. using washi tape to make a faux wallpaper/design on the wall that can be taken down easily and interchanged. 2. A jewelry display box that is a small wooden crates with hooks in the tops for hanging necklaces. 3. A jewelry display board that used colorfully spray painted door knobs, handles, and knockers used for hanging jewelery. (I just got several new necklaces and need a place to put them. :) )

If you have further questions let me know.
