Getting Ready for House Guests: Guest Room & Guest Bath Tour

We're hosting house guests this weekend and I thought I'd take the opportunity to show you how I get ready for guests and give a bit of a guest room & guest bath tour. I decided to wait to post the BBQ/Summer Party Prep video until I have all of the footage I want to make it a more well-rounded look at my party planning process & execution. I hope to have that up soon! In the meantime, if you'd like to see the video I posted on prepping for a BBQ last year, there is a link below. I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for watching & subscribing! :)

I know this is an old video but, can I come stay?! Lovely room and you are such a thoughtful hostess!

[@aspire1more]

Fresh flowers, fruit and a packet of cookies always adds a nice touch as well ~

[@TessieDobey]

If I treated my quest like you treat your guest, they would never leave.

[@cherrybelledesign]

I'm working my way back through your older videos. I often just listen and glance every once and a while, while I'm working at my desk .. getting inspired for when I go home at the end of the day. Your organizing is amazing. But in all honesty, I thumbs up your videos every time your personality makes me smile. Which is every video. You are a darling!

[@2write2sing2dance]

Yes! I love her :)

[@scouterswife]

I do the same thing! How funny! Especially when I'm picking up the house or folding laundry or something. Something about Jen's voice motivates me to be more organized!

[@uglybobswife]

I also provide fresh fruit ( apples , bananas and oranges) granola bars and mini bags of chips for the late night snacker ( as our guest room is in the basement of our home) I do have a mini fridge down there as well that i have beverages in but it is not in the actual guest rooms

[@SchnauzerMom]

How do you remember the year you bought everything?? Great memory.

[@beebeeshad6196]

lovely guest room!!! Great job!!! What a nice touch with the luggage rack!!! What a clever idea with the cup holder....would love to find one of them!!

[@akbornandraised]

Wow I'd love to be your guest! You are thoughtful, and take the time to think of everything! :)

[@lindacoleman390]

you are a very thoughtful and gracious hostess... I hope all of your house guests appreciate your lovely hospitality!

[@carolhodson6353]

Beautiful house the guest would feel welcome.such alot of thought that as gone into Jens home. Beautiful.

[@SparklingSilverCurls]

Jen, you are so thoughtful and so generous! Your kindness is wonderful, and it's a pleasure to watch your videos! Thank you for opening your home and sharing with your subscribers!!! ☺

[@hannahbabe06]

You really are an amazing, caring person! It's lovely that you want to make your guests feel so welcome. I am only 16, but I am really looking forward to starting my own home when I am older. Your advice is so helpful and I have been able to use many of your tips in my bedroom at the moment, and will definately be able to use them in my own home in the future! Such an inspiration! Thank you! H xxxx

[@pumpkins1984]

Good work on having the bottles of water. Sometimes tap water just tastes funny and you feel dehydrated as you can't drink as much as you would like to. If I have friends visiting me from overseas I also have a small amount of snack food in their room as your body clock is all out of whack. Have a great time with your house guests :-)

[@vettechmom3414]

Yes, in 2015 the Valencia tall dresser is still available. $999.

[@2write2sing2dance]

I gathered so many great tips from this video! Thank you Jen. xxx

[@DaddysPearl1]

You are so thoughtful & everything looks so put together & nice. Awesome video. You've inspired me!!!!

[@uglybobswife]

another hint for guest rooms not used regularly..make the beds without the sheets - so it looks nice and then put fresh sheets on the bed just before they come ( that way they smell fresh )

[@TheZuWu]

I'm really looking towards the day i can have a house and a guest room (i'm a student so i only have an appartment with no spare room for now). You seem like the best host. I like to make people comfortable when they come to stay over, this video is full of good tips. Thanks a lot!

[@amybamy10]

thanks jen my mam was really worying how the house would luk wen our cousins came over i showed her the video and now the house luks better than it ever has looked.

[@Daystar311]

Very pretty rooms and so clean! Lovely of you to make your guests feel special. My guest room is very tiny, acts as storage and is full of family memorabilia, so, it's weird! I call it "The Museum!" You've inspired me!

[@gmoye8208]

I would love to be one of your guest

[@MsSassyMT]

I like that you re-purposed some of the pieces. The room looks very nice.

[@LisainCalifornia]

I loved this video. When we visit my MIL (I do love her!)--it is so uncomfortable because there is no room to put anything. She lives alone and has a good sized house, but every inch of the house is packed to the gills. The room smells so stale, the sheets are full of dust, and there is no place to hang our clothes. This made me realize how important it is to make a comfortable spot for guests. We do have guests fairly often, so I am always looking for tips! Thanks for this helpful video!

[@cereilah]

Wow Jen. You did a terrific job. This is even way better than most hotel rooms I know. Your guest must be feeling really special when they see this. Great job!

[@carolhodson6353]

Beautiful furniture it's a lovely big place.

[@VictoriaMoss1]

I like you, haha your just so cool. Being a guest at your house would be like a vacation. Great video!!!

[@EEN63]

Wonderful video! Did you also happen to film the closet clean up? Those are fun to see. Other items you might find helpful to provide are: nail file & clippers, clean plastic vent brush & comb (easy to wash/disinfect), hairdryer, clear nail polish, disposable razors, hairspray, fragrance samples, feminine hygiene products, room deodorizer & aspirin. In the guest room: a little sewing kit, scissors, paper & pen/pencil, a city map & helpful phone numbers/addresses they can tuck in their pocket.

[@ddAdmire]

personally i think you are certifiable and that is why i LOVE you!!!! i am a bit jealous that you can dedicate an entire closet to guest. I do have one suggestion for you. I use all white linens , crazy but i love white but do to some past guests i have now added black hand towels and wash clothes that have been embodied with the word make up on them. next time i purchase new one i am going to have them done with lips and lip stick container just to be cute.

[@twobirdys]

Can I come stay at your house? :-) That looks like a 5 star hotel. I love the water by the bed idea and the luggage rack. You also did a great job explaining it. You turned something that potentially is very boring into something very interesting.

[@acajudi100]

You rock! I just love how you are so organized! You do a great job!

[@Brp220]

I have the same pink Kate Spade card that you have on your magnetic board stuck in the frame of my mirror! I just got it in a box and thought it was to sweet to just throw away! Looks like you had the same thought.

[@mooncow0]

No offence, but can't you just tell your guests about the internet and your password and such? It seems a bit impersonal to put it on a card, they're you're guests after all, they're not in a hotel!

[@scrapper900]

I have those washcloths too! I like them very much but I have washed them a million times and they still bleed black. Just wondering if you have the same issue with them?

[@94gang94]

hi jen,I don't speak english I understand a little but I love your videos I'm your fan 1, your have a beautiful house I would love to be as organized as you thanks for your videos Greetings from puerto rico :) :)

[@kscot93]

hey can u do a house tour annd just open the doors to each room and just tell us wat that room is pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :D

[@Kamadice]

I'm sure Donald also feels blessed that you are in his life, not only as a loving partner, but someone to make a home out of a house. :)

[@SteeleU]

I love the little table with magazine shelves. Very nice. :)

[@Amyisapimp]

haha when people stay the night at my apartment they just sleep on the couch! you have thought of everything--very nice:)

[@HeyNayHey]

Closet of shame! LOL Yessss I have a couple of those! *blush*

[@ABeautyAddict]

I'd like to know about the products you use to clean and if you have a cleaning schedule for your home. Thanks!

[@alwayswantowls]

p.s. the "slanket" I was telling you about comes in the same green as the accent color in your guest bedroom :)

[@MSMEWBO]

Jen, You are an inspiration. You mentioned that you bought a cover for your cube, never heard of those, where did you get it from?

[@VintageChrystelle]

Your guests will be so happy and relaxed in that beautiful environment! Such a nice video series idea!

[@rhiannakois5056]

hi jen i love your and winnies videos and i know how much you like owls so if you go to bowbiz dog bows and then type owl there will be an owl bow for winnie

[@SLPtoMD]

Wow...can I stay at your house?? hahaha I'm just kidding :) you are such a good hostess Jen!!

[@Derekslover85]

great thing to have for guests are the toiletries from hotel trips and a downy wrinkel release beleve me it comes in handy

[@coffeebeans89]

I was subscribed to your othe rchannel for a while ow but didnt realize you had an organization channel. I just subscribed!! :) Do you have a desk org. video?

[@Martylugo]

Hi Jen! Do you mind sharing where you found you're floral towels, monogramed towels, and the little wall shelf. Thanks! The room and powder room are gorgeous!

[@HighlyFavoredLV]

Thanks Jen, I have been looking forward to this video. Very helpful as always! I like the special touches to make your guests feel welcome and comfortable. I will be ready for my upcoming house guests. Thanks again!

[@LizzieLovesMakeup]

Jen, I greatly admire the fact that you are such a generous and thoughtful hostess. There are not many people willing to take the time to greet guests with quality (supplies).

[@haleykeil3059]

Yellow is the go to not gender specific room color of choice...Are you pregnant?

[@lilsahsgirlie09]

[@WithWonder]

[@sweetpo11]

Please show us how you make your beds... I bet they are perfect!

[@qbnqty7]

Hi Jen, what cleaning products do you use to clean the bathroom?

[@kjv80]

Very nice. Your guests will feel very appreciated and welcomed.

[@WithWonder]

Target? It was awhile ago...

[@pmb5005]

Forgot to ask where you get the corner shower caddy. Thanks!

[@TheVerySecretLaw]

[@ladydayana]

Great ideas, thank you for sharing!

[@jesslovespolishes]

[@liveintentionally1]

yellow babies room?!!?!? :D?!

[@azobrn45]

can you do a back yard tour?

[@ayeshadeane]

Lovely video as always, so helpful! Would love if you could do a video about organization in your condo, just talking, sharing your advice and maybe showing a few pictures or even like a newly wed video of how you set up home. Don't mean to trouble you but only requesting because you are the best at inspiring and motivating us.

[@luving2scrap]

Very nicely done. Your guests will love staying at your home. I think making guests feel welcome is so important. Nothing is worse than staying at someone's home and feeling so uncomfortable or imposing. I'm sure they will have a very pleasant stay. Let me know when I can come and stay for a while LOL.

[@SassyGeek18]

can i be your guest? lol

[@1tcoy]

Very helpful and interesting. Water bottles and books themed to guests interests is what I didn't think of, but will do in the future. Your decorating style is quiet, cozy and traditional. I like the sense of restraint, which makes it feel sophisticated too. Great video, as always.

[@pmb5005]

You are such a good decorator. I love your style. The room looks homey, inviting and beautiful. I would love to be a guest at your house. You think of everything!!! Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to see the BBQ vid. Priscilla : )

[@createdbyconnie]

You have a beautiful home and have made a wonderful room for your guests. Anyone would feel comfortable staying there the way you have made it homey for them as well. I would want Winnie time too, if I was a guest! :)

[@araluen82]

by the way.....if you didn't know, L'Occitane products are the brand used in the Four Seasons Hotel (In Sydney Australia at least!), and we LOVE it!! Especially the soap and shampoo. It's very luxurious.

[@sharisp2]

Could you share your house cleaning routines? I love your organizing videos, but whenever we get a tour everything is always so neat and tidy and clean! I'd love to know what cleaning products/tools you use, how you space out the cleaning and laundry tasks throughout the week, etc. Thanks Jen!

[@PureAurum79]

Jen, I know I've said it before but, you have such a beautiful home and offer your guests such a warm welcome - when can I come and stay? :-) Love all the ideas and will definitely put them into place when we have a home with a guest room. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@Hollylovesbeauty7]

closets of shame...lol

[@mistygg1]

For your quest bathroom I suggest on the blank wall a large oval full length mirror framed. Look in antique, thrift stores and consignment shops for this item. I love my ful length mirror in the bathrooms and my guest do also.

[@SassyGeek18]

its like a hotel room

[@hudsaud8510]

jen u r my favorite

[@sxs311]

OMG I LOVE your guest room! I'd love to stay with you, everything's so organised and it's kind of like a hotel LOL! I love L'Ocvitane products for everyday, especially the Shea Butter hand cream :D I feel sad that my guests don't have the same luxury as yours do - but oh well! :) I love your 'love' ring BTW, I have the gold one and my friend loves the silver one I got for her birthday :) x

[@sharisp2]

I REEEALLY love your videos, you tackle everyday things that I always wonder how other people do them, and I've read a lot of organization books and watched other videos, but you really show us what you do and how you do it and how it works (or doesn't) after the project is finished. Thank you for sharing with us!

[@graytchel26]

Oh Jen the place looks really great..Your guest room looks like a master's bedroom for me...lucky guest huh! very comfortable just by looking at it....
