Bedding

I like to start with the bedding.

Fresh sheets, a cozy comforter, new pillows, and throw blankets just make a guest bedroom look so inviting.

I’ve tried so many different bedding sets over time and my favorite bedding is definitely from Schweitzer Linen.

They have gorgeous patterns from contemporary to traditional. And the quality is luxurious!

Here I decorated our guest bedroom at our home in coastal Maine with Schweitzer Linen’s Seersucker Bedding.

And today I’ll walk you through the guest bedroom at our home here in Vermont as I refresh this room for spring.

How do you prepare your bedroom for guests?

Today I started with this bedside table by adding a few essentials:

• Old fashioned alarm clock.
• Bouquet of flowers.
• Reading lamp.
• An Antique Candle Co. small candle tester to scent the room. Even if you don’t light the candle, it will create a beautiful scent all around the room.
• A handful of magazines and a gifted vintage book for guests.
• I added a couple of my favorite vintage perfume atomizers too.

Oh, you know what?

T.J. Maxx just moved into our town here in Vermont! That’s a huge deal for us, as we don’t have any big box stores nearby.

So I have never been able to easily run out to buy fresh towels, pillows, sheets, home accessories, etc… Can you believe that?

But I can now…

How do you make a guest bedroom feel cozy?

To keep your guests comfortable add fresh bedding along with a soft cozy comforter. Here I added Schweitzer Linen’s gifted Fiore collection to our guest bedroom. I just love the beautiful soft blue and taupe colors for spring.

I also love adding a breakfast tray like the one I found here while out “Thrifting with the Gals“.

You could add a candle, coffee or teacup, flowers, magazines, and/or books to the breakfast tray making your guests feel even cozier in your home.

My husband just got back from the grocery store with these orange tulips so I added them to an old glass jar and displayed them on the breakfast tray along with a vintage tea set and brass candlestick.

SHOP BEDROOM BREAKFAST TRAYS

Oh my gosh, it just started snowing like crazy here, and I just heard we’re now expecting 1″- 4″…

I had no idea it was supposed to start snowing!

It’s so beautiful out the guest bedroom window right now on this 9th day of March.

And oh boy, I’ll admit that I wasn’t so excited to see the snow, but waking up to this in the morning was priceless! And one of the top reasons we chose to move here to Vermont.

And of course I had to run outside with my beautiful pink tulips and take like a thousand photos…

Ok, let’s get back to how to make a guest bedroom feel cozy!

Adding a throw blanket or quilt at the foot of the bed is always a good idea especially if someone is looking for a little more warmth or you get that sudden snowfall like the one we just got.

Maybe a bench, ottoman, or luggage rack at the bottom of the bed for guests to leave their personal belongings. And you can also store extra blankets, pillows, and towels there too.

Right now I have a bouquet of floppy pink tulips in our kitchen.

And now these beautiful orange tulips for the breakfast tray.

Do you think that’s too many tulip arrangements for spring?

I’m going to keep the orange tulips from getting floppy though, see how I do that here, “How a Penny Can Keep Tulips From Drooping“.

A Guest Bedroom Suite Makeover

Truth be told, there are two guest bedrooms in our home here in Vermont that don’t get a lot of love. They are mostly closed off in the winter to preserve heat.

So I think this will be the year! I’m looking to jazz up this two guest bedroom and bathroom suite area with some blue paint and fabulous wallpaper patterns.

So stay tuned, I have so many ideas rolling around in my head!

I’m so glad you dropped by, and if you are new to my blog, welcome! I hope you enjoyed your visit with us here today at our Home in Vermont.
