We have a small house with no guest room currently, but I will save these ideas for the future when I hope we do! :) For now I love the idea of a basket with welcoming little supplies for guests as well as the printout with info for guests like the wifi password, what a wonderful idea! You guest room is beautiful and yes, I remember Bombay, it was one of my favorite stores, I used to by furniture and little accents there all the time. :) Very useful post, I have pinned it to my homemaking board. :)April's Homemakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839044050318217592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-76539969326886829582014-11-18T21:12:07.573-05:002014-11-18T21:12:07.573-05:00Great tips, I do almost all of them!

I already told her I have a hair dryer for her so she doesn't have to bring it along with shampoo, conditioner etc., etc. Love your guest room, I would love to stay there. One thing that is hardly ever thought about is a place for the lady to put her make up on. Your desk provides a good spot. I have a table, magifying mirror and light for my guests to use. Just another idea:):)Pinky at Designs by Pinkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17304907721321330136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-70247101512434207482014-11-18T20:11:07.332-05:002014-11-18T20:11:07.332-05:00This is a really love guide.

It has been a pleasure to host friends for a night or a week. We have twin beds, a private bath with a half bath close by so two can be preparing at the same time. My only other suggestion to your lovely basket is a recharge cord for a phone, if you have a spare one. We have had guests who forgot their cord and it comes in handy to charge over night. Thanks for all of the lovely tips.Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714577523744715551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-13301608163157710842014-11-11T14:00:16.902-05:002014-11-11T14:00:16.902-05:00Richella I LOVE everything about this room...so pr...Richella I LOVE everything about this room...so pretty!!
