This is my favorite holiday. It is warm and inviting from the colors used on tabletops, the scents of fall and the foods eaten such as apple pies, turkey and stuffing.(Did I mention calorie laden,never mind, just enjoy…)
You may be having out-of town visitors to be staying with you. Here are some ideas to make sure their stay is enjoyable.
How To Set Up a Welcoming Guest Room
* Think about who is most likely touse the room and determine the beds you’ll need. A queen is good for couples, but if you don’t have the room, consider twins, a daybed, or a trundle bed.
* Supply proper beddingfor the season: lightweight blankets and sheets in thesummer, and jersey or flannel sheets in the winter, plus extra blankets and a throw.
* Stock the closet with a variety of bed pillows — soft, hard, flat, fluffy, down, synthetic — so guests can choose the one that’s most comfortable for them.
* Always include an alarm clock and reading lamp, and make room for a bedside table or nightstand to rest them on.
* Make sure guests have a place to store clothes and empty luggage.
* Pay attention to window treatments and how light enters the room at different times of the day.
* Add a re-fillable carafe for middle of the night thirst quenching.
* Add night lights to direct your guests to the bathroom.
* Supply a basket of travel size lotions and soaps.
* Lay out towels including bath, hand and wash cloths.
