Where to find Africa’s best safari guides

Even among African safari guides, Zimbabwean guides are considered the best on the continent. Of course, all safari guides are well-trained and knowledgeable, but Zimbabwe’s training to be a “Pro Guide,” is the most demanding and extensive on the continent. Typically, the licensing process and education takes about four years to complete! So, anyone interested […]

Serena & Lily Thank You Sale

The fashion sales get all the attention on Black Friday but Serena & Lily has you covered for all your home needs. During their Thank You Event, you can save 25% off* everything you need to refresh all the rooms in your house with the code THANKFUL until December 3, 2019. One of my friends was refreshing her guest room before her sister and brother-in-law arrived for Thanksgiving which inspired me to put together the essentials that would make your friends and family never want to leave your guest room. But Serena & Lily also has beautiful items that make lovely gifts so it’s your one-stop shop for everything you need this holiday season.

*Exclusions: items in the sale section, gift certificates, art, Limited-Edition PUBLIC® C7 Bike.

The Tall Broderick Tufted Bed would be incredibly welcoming to guests and it’s available in almost 100 different fabrics.

I always think it’s nice to have a bench like the Parker Bench at the end of the bed for guests to place their bag or throw their clothes at the end of the day.

I have the Metallic Suede & Hemp Rug in my living room and I like it for a guest room too. It adds a great texture and subtle color for a relaxing atmosphere.

If you have the room, it’s preferable to have a Driftway 1-Drawer Nightstand on either side of the bed. Hide extra long cell phone charging cords in the drawer in case your guest forgets theirs.

The Abbey Table Lamp brings all the colors of the room together.

Set out a Coastal Christmas Candle in the room and send your guests home with one as a gift.

Set out a carafe or pitcher of water with glasses so your guests don’t have to stumble to the kitchen when they need a drink of water.

Make sure you iron your Soho Sheet Set or send them out to be pressed if you don’t want to do it yourself.

This Sutter Linen Quilt comes in six colors to coordinate with any guest bedroom.

In addition to standard pillows, it’s always nice to include larger pillows in shams like these Sutter Quilted Shams in case your guest wants to sit and read.

When you have solid colored bed linens, I like adding a patterned pillow like this Aviv Pillow Cover to pull everything together.

A throw blanket like this Milo Alpaca Throw can add another pop of color and extra warmth if your guest gets cold. They’re also great when you just want to take a nap after a big holiday meal.

Make sure the dresser drawers in your guest room are actually empty so your guests can unpack. This Blake Raffia Wide Dresser is a chic option and I’d include a tray on top to corral jewelry and tech accessories.

A chair like this Canyon Chair in Surf Stripe would give your guest a place to rest beside the bed.

This Beach Side Table adds another fun accent piece to the room.

Add this Brighton Floor Lamp next to the chair so your guests have enough light to read.

This Newport Sunsets 2 by Janet Bludau artwork is not on sale but since you’re saving 25% on everything else, you can afford to splurge.

You’d be surprised how many places I stay without a full length mirror. Add a chic one like this Costa Floor Mirror so your guest doesn’t have to ask how they look.

Include stacks of fluffy towels like these Napa Bath Collection in the guest bath.

Include a St. Helena Spa Robe and your guest will feel like they are at a four star hotel.
