Now that spring is here, I’m excited about entertaining, house guest. This is when we start planning our travel time and when our family and friends come for a visit. We love hosting overnight guest. Since we are empty nesters, we have two guest rooms unless Aaron comes by to claim his spot.
I like my guest to feel like they’ve checked into a B&B so I make a little fuss over them with flowers and a care package filled with goodies. I’ve changed the bedding for spring and summer and added a few touches to make my guest feel special. Here are some tips to create a B&B feel for your next house guest. Warning!!! They may not want to go home!
Tip: Brighten the space with light and airy linens.
Tip: Spray your linens with a lavender scented linen spray.
Tip: Set out extra pillows and a throw.
Tip: Fill a cute dish with a few chocolates and tea bags. Place a teapot with a cup (you can find them online.) on a tray. Don’t forget to add fresh flowers, a note pad and pen.
Tip: Place a garden stool or folding table in the room so your guest can put the bed tray on the table when they are ready for bed.
Tip: Let your guest know that you will heat up the tea kettle and leave it on the stove for their tea.
Tip: Place a cup on the night stand. Add some magazines and turn on some soft lighting.
The guest bathroom is another place to make your guest feel welcome and I will share my guest bathroom in another post. Until then, try out your guest bedroom for a little pampering of your own.
