Best of Blog: Guest Prep

November 2, 2017

November is here, and with it plans for holiday get togethers with family and friends. With hosting in mind, I’m thinking of all that needs to be done in my home to be guest ready. From making a great first impression in the entry, to creating a comfortable retreat in the guest bedroom, I think it’s important that friends and family find my home clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Last year, I started a Guest Prep series full of ideas, tips, and favorite finds to refresh each space throughout your home. Today, I’m reviewing those tips with you. Catch up on these great guest prep tips, and then check back soon as we continue our series with inspirations for making your home holiday ready.
