When my home is filled with family and friends coming from out of town for a visit, I love finding little ways that help them feel welcome for their stay.  Here are some beautiful guest rooms for inspiration and a few favorite ways to help my guests feel that extra touch of love.

TIP: Light it up – Have a great bedside lamp for guests to read in bed and wind down.   When you aren’t familiar with the layout of the bedroom, turning out the light at the door can cause some stubbed toes!  You can also add that special little touch of leaving some of your favorite books on the night stand for your guests.

TIP: Essentials – Leave a few essentials in the room to make it more convenient for your guest, a few bottles of water, towels and a clock to name just a few.

TIP: Add Fresh Linens – Putting fresh and clean linens on the bed will give that luxury hotel feel.  Don’t forget to add an extra quilt or blanket on the end of the bed for those cold nights.
