Approach life at home the Madame Chic way: a beautiful, illustrated
toolbox of tips and ideas for organizing, entertaining, and savoring a
stylish life.
When she arrived at Madame Chic's Parisian apartment as a foreign
exchange student, Jennifer Scott was a casual California girl who
thought sweatpants were appropriate street attire. Madame Chic took
Jennifer under her wing and tutored her in the secrets of how the French
elevate the little things in life to the art of living.
Years later, Jennifer was back in California with a husband, two young
daughters, a dog, and her first home. Every day she confronted mundane
duties like folding laundry and unloading the dishwasher, and she began
to think about Madame Chic's home--how the breakfast table was set
beautifully the night before, the music that always played in the
background, the calm of Madame and Monsieur Chic's ritual cocktail hour
together. Jennifer wanted that life. She decided to see what would
happen if she didn't perform her chores impatiently or mindlessly, if,
instead, she could live like Madame Chic.
At Home with Madame Chic reveals the secrets to having a happy,
fulfilling, and passionate life at home. Jennifer explains the morning
send-off need not be chaotic, it's possible to look stylish with minimal
time and effort, a little forethought makes it possible to serve a
home-cooked dinner every night, and details like music and scented
candles can set the tone for the whole family's evening. Organized by
the pleasures that can be found throughout the day, this charming,
helpful book is full of ideas, playlists, recipes, beauty routines, and
advice that can turn an irritating day into an enjoyable experience.
