How to Makeover Your Bathroom for Guests

Freshly cleaned rugs and linens
It's amazing how transformative a good, clean bath mat can be, isn't it?
-
Fresh flowers
It seems rather luxurious to have something as delicate as flowers in such a place as a bathroom, but that is just what I love about it. Pick a single bloom or bunch a humble clump of blossoms in a casual vase, and your guests will feel right special, as they should.

Dedicate a towel in their honor
I love the idea of color-coding your towels anyway, don't you?
-
Extra, stacked towels
Don't be stingy with the towels! The worst feeling ever is when you've just finished a shower in an unfamiliar bathroom and suddenly you are unsure of where the towels are and whether they are currently "claimed" by permanent householders. Keep a good stack of fluffly towels somewhere obvious (possibly even in the guest room?) and mitigate this pending disaster!
-
Personal shower kit
One of my favorite things to do is prepare a basket of shower essentials. I like to include travel-sized shampoo and conditioner, a razor, a fresh bar of soap, a loofah or bath sponge, and leave it on the guest bed.

Spare TP in easy to reach places, and make it soft!
Pretty self explanatory. Nobody needs to wonder where the TP is in a moment of crucial need.

Extra blowdryer, and other necessities
I almost never remember to pack a blow dryer when I travel, it is like some weird kind of brain block. Other commonly forgotten necessities? Toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant. Keep a couple spares in an easy-to-reach location and you'll win for Best Hostess Ever, no contest.
