Hosting Summer Guests? Tips for a Well Appointed Guest Room

Are you hosting guests in your home this Summer 

like I did for Miss Beaux's Graduation?  

We had quite a crowd here for the weekend.   

I have some tips for you 

to make life a little easier 

during their visit so you can enjoy your company 

and not end up crazy at the end of their stay.  

I am also showing you my updated guest room...  

Because what is a post 

if you don't have pretty pictures?

First things first, 

prepare where your guests will sleep.  

We have a designated guest room,

but I know a lot of you 

have all of your children still at home 

and Grandpa and Grandma may be using 

one of the kids rooms.  

Make sure the bedding is clean 

and the pillows are fluffed.  

I like to have one fluffy pillow 

and one flatter pillow 

for the stomach sleepers like me.  

Have an extra blanket 

at the end of the bed in case it gets chilly at night.  

I shared this tip with you over the weekend.  

Providing the password 

for your Internet Access 

for your guests. 

You can read the post HERE.  

I also like to have a reading lamp 

and a clock on the bedside table. 

Provide a place for your guests 

to hang their clothes 

and a place for their suitcase.  

I know this seems natural, 

but it's a good idea to check 

and make sure you have enough hangars 

in the closet and that you have cleared 

a space for your company.  

If your guests are going 

to be out and about on their own, 

leave them your garage code 

or make a new temporary code for them.  

Maybe leave a list of fun local things to do in the area.  

If  you are in charge of providing the entertainment 

or if they are visiting to attend a wedding, 

milestone birthday party or graduation 

that you are hosting, 

type up an Itinerary for them 

and place it in their room.  

This not only keeps YOU organized 

but it lets everyone know what is happening 

and when to be ready.  

I posted the daily events 

on my Kitchen Chalkboard 

for my extended family. 

Leave some reading material 

in their room for downtime.  

Magazines, books, newspapers 

in the room will allow your guests 

to have some alone time and relax. 

Place some goodies 

in their room that they can enjoy.  

A basket with water, fruit, granola bars, 

a few chocolates will make your guests feel at home.  

Don't forget fresh towels for your guests.  

I also like to put small samples 

of the necessities in a basket or dish in the bath.  

They say to sleep in your guest room 

at least once a year to insure 

that it is adequate for your company.  

I say bring it on!  

I wouldn't mind spending a night or two 

here if I do say so myself!

Until Next Time,

Beaux R'eves,
