Will You Be Hosting Guests Over The Holidays? Get Your Guest Room Ready Now.

If you will be having friends and family staying with you over the holidays, now is the time to de-clutter and set up your guest room.

Start by de-cluttering the room.  Use a trash bag, a recycle box, a box marked move, and a box marked donations.  Work from the left to the right of the room.  Remove all obvious trash and recycling first.  Then start grouping like items together.  As you are doing this, you will find items that need to be moved to another room.  Place them in the move box.  You will also find items that you no longer want, use or need.  Place them in the donations box.  Once you have gone through the entire room and remove the move box (move the items to where they belong), remove the donations box to your local Goodwill, throw out the trash and recycling, you will have a de-cluttered room.  Organize what's left into appropriate sized containers or drawers, etc.

Place extra towels in the room as well as blankets and extra pillows.

Place some magazines and books in the room for your guests enjoyment as well as some dvd's if the room is equipped with a television and dvd player.

If your guests will be touring your town without you, leave maps and a list of attractions so that they can occupy their time and see the local sites.

You know all those soaps you collected from your trips?  Place them into a basket for your guests.

Don't forget a box of kleenex in the room.

Your friends and family will be impressed with your organization.............and they will feel right at home.
