(West Elm Bubbles Quilt)

Next week my brother and his friend are visiting me in LA and I cannot wait to eat, drink and be all around merry with them during their stay. They are both sleeping at my apartment and being one who loves hosting, organizing, decorating and all things involved in having guests I cannot wait for them to arrive. I am cleaning and preparing for their visit this weekend and I was thinking about what I would love to have to make their stay more comfortable (being comfortable makes for the most relaxing vacations). I think clean sheets and towels (the Pure Beech sateen sheets and Turkish Towels are my favorites), a great smelling candle (I love this new Green Tea candle I recently received), some freshly baked cookies or pastries (I've been dying to try this homemade Thin Mint recipe) and really soft pillows are some of the keys to being a great host. I also love these tips from Real Simple for how to prepare for Overnight Guests. Cheers to visitors!
