This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Serena & Lily. The opinions and text are all mine. Thank you for supporting the brands my family loves!
When we were building our house, we had a great debate over how many bedrooms to have and whether or not Isla and Emilia would share a room. We ultimately decided to have them in separate rooms, and to dedicate our playroom as a guest room, since it has a closet, bathroom and a comfy pullout bed. However, the girls have recently started asking to sleep in the same room more and more often at night, and therefore, we’ve had them together in Isla’s room. This has been convenient because it allows for us to have a room for any guests that come to stay with us – most recently, my mom has offered to come and help for one night during the week while Sasha is traveling for work. It’s so nice to have her to help with dinner in the evenings and shuffling girls to their schools in the morning. Also, my best friend lives in Chicago and stays with us for a few nights when she comes back home to Houston.
Given that we’re having more and more guests come to stay, we decided to upgrade Emilia’s playful Pillowfort bedding to a beautiful French blue set from Serena & Lily, which is where we bought our master bedding from last year. I adore the quality of the sheets and duvet – they are truly so soft and luxurious. Serena & Lily is known for their best-in-class bedding, and the products live up to the reputation. The Cambria Quilt that we have on the bed is so well made, and I love the beautiful, vibrant blue color. We kept some of the fun elements of Emi’s room, like her pink ceiling, blue pom pom drapes and colorful lamp – she isn’t often in this room any more at night, but still claims it as her own and loves the new look of the space.
In addition to the bedding, we also got new towels from Serena & Lily, which are the nicest towels I’ve ever felt (honestly!). It’s so nice to bring out your best for when guests are staying with you. We’ve got other friends coming to stay with us for the holidays, and I can’t wait to show them the Serena & Lily bedding and bath items we now have in our guest room. In preparation for any of our guests, some of my favorite things to do include:
- Add a few bottles of water to the nightstands and some granola bars/nuts in case they are hungry once they’ve gone to their room.
- Leave a pack of matches in the room (there are many candles around the room to light!).
- Buy a few travel size body scrubs and leave it in the bathroom next to the fresh towels – I love Bath & Body Works’ scrubs the most!
- Leave out a ‘Guest Book’ if you have one so that your guests can leave you a little message! I have this one and love using it when we have people stay with us.
