"i only want to sleep in these"

when it comes to my bed and my car, i do not cut corners.  more importantly, you should not either.  we spend more time in our beds and cars that anywhere else so therefor shouldn't these spots should be places we love to be.  therefor, i throw money at making sure these places are in tip top shape!

one of my favorite bed masters is my friend Howard (aka Rex).  he is the king of luxury and knows how to take it to the over the top.  he actually has a recipe for the perfect bed.  i have slept in some of his beds and let me tell you, it is a night i will not forget.   Howard taught me the importance of small details.  over the years, i have modified his recipe to include these.  the day i brought them home, Aqua-man told me to "throw every other one away, i only want to sleep in these."  (remember, he only likes to spend money on boat parts and golf.)

little details; is what i try to provide for my friends and family.  i want them to feel special and loved.  when they stay in our guest house commonly referred to as  the love shack, i hope it is a small oasis away from their own.   while our home is humble and rustic i try to fill it sensual details that make people melt in to their home away from home.

Important things to have in a guest room:
  • exquisit freshly washed sheets
  • good pillows with a spritz of lavender
  • extra pillows
  • light weight blanket
  • down comforter
  • fresh towels
  • toiletries (peppermint castile soap, shampoo, conditioner, shaving cream, razors, lotion, tooth brush and tooth paste, sunscreen, etc.)
  • blow dryer
  • a soft place to put their feet when they get out of bed
  • tv and dvd player
  • books and current magazines
  • coffe, tea and water
  • their favorite snack (nuts or fruit is good)
  • robe
  • phone charger 
  • alarm clock
  • candles
this may be your first step to creating a dream like bed.  trust me they are pure heaven.  you will never want to sleep on anything else.... (you can click on the link) let me know what you think and if there is anything i have forgotten to include in my list of important things for a guest room.  or if you are coming to visit.

  2. okay, I personally experienced these unforgettable sheets during my "Love Shack" stay. I would describe them with words like "silky" and "creamy". Similar to the feeling of bliss you get when eating an extraordinary piece of chocolate. Great to know we can get the same feeling from these without the added guilt! OH so yummy!
