Creating a Well-Appointed Guest Room

Whew...this 4 day week is killing me. Too much to do, too little time! Anyhow, check out my post over on the HomeGoods blog today. I've provided some ideas on how to create a great guest room. I think you'll like my tip on how to get bed linens that look freshly pressed without ever touching an iron :)

Be sure to share any of your favorite ways to make house guests feel welcome!

House of Windsor

Have any of you gotten to visit Veranda's House of Windsor yet? It's located in LA so Angelenos have a leg up on the rest of us. It just opened and doesn't close until July 17 so be sure to get out there if you are in the area. It looks like there are lots of fun events on the docket!

In case you haven't heard about it yet, the House of Windsor is a supercharged designer showhouse that benefits Children’s Action Network and P.S. ARTS. Besides the lovely and talented Windsor Smith, the designer list includes hot shots such as Candace Barnes, Martyn Lawrence-Bullard, Peter Dunham, Richard Hallberg, and Kathryn Ireland.

From the photos I've seen so far on Windsor Smith's Facebook page, I'm loving the kitchen best which seems fitting given that Windsor herself designed it!

WS also did this space, which I assume is the entry...

Not sure who designed this room, but the floorplan shown below, it might be Peter Dunham's...

This is the Screening/Game room, designed by Martyn Lawrence-Bullard...

What do you think so far? I'm certainly excited to see more photos!
