The
holidays are the one time of year when we have frequent house guests.
Even if you aren’t a regular ‘dinner party’ kind of family, if you ARE
going to host people for dinner at your home, Thanksgiving is probably the time
you do it.
And
in order to make those guests feel at home, you want your house to feel
welcoming. Typically we focus on the obvious rooms, like the dining room
or living room, but it is the little touches that will always stand out.
And one place you may be overlooking is your guest bathroom. I not only
decorate my bathroom for the holidays, I also make it more guest friendly.
It
only takes a little work to make your bathroom welcoming to guests. Think about
the things that you appreciate about being in your own home and share those
with your guests. Things like being able to find extra rolls of toilet
paper:
Or
having a bathroom that is really clean, since nobody likes a dirty
bathroom.
After cleaning the toilet you can use a long term cleaner/freshener. It is a simple way to maintain a clean
toilet bowl without having to constantly scrub it.
Plus
it keeps the bathroom smelling nice every time your flush.
Removing
toothpaste splatter and fingerprints from the mirror is a piece of cake with glass cleaner.
Besides
toilet paper, guests also may need other supplies and so creating a fall themed
“gift basket” with things like:
Hand
Lotion
Eye
drops
Dental
Floss
Hand
Sanitizer
Feminine
Hygiene Products
Lip
Balm
Hair
Spray
Pain
Reliever
Bandages
Antacids
mean
that your guests don’t have to be embarrassed to ask for them if they need them
or have forgotten something at home. Imagine how special your holiday guests
will feel when they walk into the bathroom and see just the thing they wished
they had brought with them.
And
you can even include bathroom staples (like cotton swabs and cotton balls) in
pretty jars:
Finally,
don’t forget the sink! Changing out your hand soap for a seasonal scent
is always a nice touch.
It
is the little things that make a big impact. And your bathroom can be one
of them!
