Beautiful coffee table book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I was hoping for more spacifics. The rooms are beautiful, no doubt, but who has an extra room that could hold three single beds decorated with teddy bears? Or a full bath for each guest room? There is not a full page of text anywhere in the book. There are many lovely quotes from famous people about the joys of company and some tongue-in-cheek suggestions for getting rid of guests who have over stayed their welcome, "flip the breaker switch". But other than repeated reminders that both guests and hosts should be flexible, there is little in terms of menu suggestions or turning an office into an overnight bedroom or how much closet space to allow per quest. Under "Resources" the first listed is "Architects"(there are six) and one of the longest is "Lighting". This would be a beautiful supplementary book to the art of hosting.

This book has beautiful pictures throughout, wonderful ideas for making house guest feel comfortable. The book takes you step-by-step from inviting your guest to stay, the day of arrival, meals-locations, restroom preparations, cubby holes to fill with books, host and guest etiquette..... EVERYTHING has been thought of in advance and addressed in this lovely little book. This is a good idea for anyone that has a mind to open up and Bed and Breakfast or anyone that has a vacation home somewhere. Perfect coffee table book as well. The other handy feature is it provides you with a supplier list at the end of the book for the essentials ie; nice bed linen, candles, special ammenities (bar soaps, bath scrubs etc), rugs, lamps all the items that you have perused throughout the book.

Welcome a guest with the perfect room!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
GUEST ROOMS by Hilary Heminway and Alex Heminway doesn't just focus on the room itself; though this indeed is the major focus: it shows how to welcome a guest by making the room perfect for arrivals and departures, how to ready a bathroom and stock amenities for guests, and how to handle guests in the home, from picky or noisy children to demanding adults. Color photos of decorated rooms abound.
