Cincinnati Idea Book November 2023

Familiar artwork
Consider hanging photos of family gatherings or vacations with friends on the walls or place them
on end tables. Your guests might be thrilled to spot themselves in a few of the framed photos found
throughout their room.
Key amenities
The bedroom should have an alarm clock, paper pencils, and maybe a sewing kit and safety pins. A sound
machine, or box fan, can help mask noise both inside and outside the home. A nightlight will provide
just enough light to safely guide guests from their bedroom to the closest bathroom. A covered pitcher
of water with glasses, or water bottles are easy touches.
Bathroom supplies
It’s a good idea to have your guest bath stocked with a few essentials, in case they were overlooked when
packing. Arrange personal care items in a basket or fun container. Including soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes,
shampoo, conditioner, lotion, cotton swabs, disposable razors, bandages, and the like will be a
relief for guests who don’t want to inconvenience you or run to the store themselves.
A box of tissues in plain sight and a stack of towels are always appropriate. Make sure there are extra
rolls of toilet paper. And you can’t go wrong having a blow dryer handy. ➻
