Splendid Seaside Houses

A lovely Nova Scotia nautical beach house from Country Living.

Welcoming Guest Rooms

I found some very useful tips on how to decorate a guest room on Martha Stewart's blog. Here are some of them:<br /><p><span class="subhead-level1">Decorate Sparingly<br /></span>In a strange room, comfort and space are more soothing than a clutter of unfamiliar things. On a bedside table, place a single flower bloom in a simple glass, a nice clock, and a selection of books suited to your guests' tastes. (I like to add a small notebook and a pen)<br /></p><p><span class="subhead-level1">Bathroom Essentials<br /></span>If the bathroom is shared, clear space in it for guests' toiletries. Stock it with new toothbrushes and toothpaste, a plush robe, and a supply of clean cotton towels (two large bath towels, two face towels, and a washcloth) for each guest. Supply a few luxuries that one might not find at home: a beautiful soap, an unusual cream, a special shampoo, or a small bottle of perfume or cologne. If your guest has allergies, provide a hypoallergenic soap and moisturizer.</p><p>Read full article <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/article/preparing-for-guests?">here</a>.<br /></p><br /><img alt="alternative text" border="0" src="http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/bedrooms/woodrum_dh_bedroom_lg.jpg" style="width: 616px; height: 462px;" /><br />Linda Woodrum found <a href="http://www.hgtv.com/designers-portfolio/room/cottage/bedrooms/1506/index.html">here</a>.<br /><br /><br /><img alt="alternative text" border="0" src="http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/bedrooms/ss_SIP933351_0112CS.jpg" style="width: 458px; height: 571px;" /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="alternative text" border="0" src="http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/bedrooms/Second-Floor-Guest-Bedroom-HTOURS01.jpg" style="width: 460px; height: 560px;" /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="alternative text" border="0" src="http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/bedrooms/TheWhiteHouseDaylesfordviaVillaAnna.jpg" style="width: 460px; height: 600px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="alternative text" border="0" src="http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/bedrooms/bedroom58-de.jpg" style="width: 460px; height: 575px;" /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="alternative text" border="0" src="http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/bedrooms/beds-lanham-l.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 500px;" /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="alternative text" border="0" src="http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/bedrooms/glamint-12-l.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 500px;" /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="alternative text" border="0" src="http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/bedrooms/bhg.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 649px;" /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="alternative text" border="0" src="http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/bedrooms/housebeautiful115-blue-bedroom-0306.jpg" style="width: 560px; height: 660px;" /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="alternative text" border="0" src="http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/bedrooms/Countrylivingzoom_3908blueberry-whi.jpg" style="width: 540px; height: 403px;" /><br /><br /><br /><img id="fb_image" src="http://www.countryliving.com/cm/countryliving/images/CLX0606Chairs009-de-50035286.jpg" style="top: -55px; left: 44px; width: 540px; height: 690px;" /><br /><span style="display: inline;" id="fb_captionbox">In a large bedroom or small guest cottage, a bistro table and two chairs make a peaceful spot where guests can enjoy tea or breakfast in private before joining in group activities.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="fb_image" src="http://www.countryliving.com/cm/countryliving/images/Welcome-Gift-Guests-MKOVR0507-de-41348791.jpg" style="top: -55px; left: 44px; width: 540px; height: 690px;" /><br /><span style="display: inline;" id="fb_captionbox">Put together a welcome kit for guests, including such necessities as towels, soap, and shampoo.
