Making a guest feel comfortable in your home
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Nedra recently blogged about guest rooms, so consider this a spin-off: welcoming a guest into your home.
I don’t have a sprawling mansion with fully equipped guest quarters, so I turn to the little things to welcome my friends. I buy fresh flowers and candles to sprinkle throughout my house, especially in the guest room, and I also like to prepare a small basket of toiletries in case they’ve forgotten to bring special items, such as a toothbrush or floss. On their nightstand, I place a bottle of water and possibly some cookies or breakfast bars in case they get the midnight munchies.
Eventually, I’d love to have a large enough guest room to accommodate a reading area and a writing desk, even though I’m reasonably sure it may not be used. I suppose I like the warm, welcoming appearance of those timeless elements.
Now it’s your turn: How do you ensure your guest is comfortable?
