I love going to hotels because it means that generally I am on vacation. But there’s another reason I love hotels. That’s because they are generally beautiful, clean and clutter free. There’s just something about knowing that someone is there to accommodate you and put that extra special touch like chocolate on your pillows to make you feel welcome.

What if we did this for ourselves at home? What if we play hotel at home? What if we create our own version of a luxury hotel and add treats or whatever on our pillows, tables , wherever to make us feel special.

This game is for especially when you do not want to do housework or when you are having guests over or you wake up one day and realize that your home looks like you went through a hurricane.

Are you ready to play ? Let’s go.

How to Play

1) Decide the kind of hotel you want . (Luxury, cottage, whatever you can afford and upkeep)
– I am going for a country cottage with dashes of elegance and luxury
2) Get your staff. (darn- it’s mainly me)
– I need a chambermaid
– A cook
– A greeter
– A decorator
– A laundress
3) Get to work
– This is time to play Mary Poppins with that spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down thing
– play your favorite music to get you going
– Take pictures of what your ideal should look like
4) Add the special touches (Go wild, treat yourself even if you can only afford one rose)
– For me that’s flowers (mostly real, but sometimes fake that looks almost real)
– pearls on a vine
– playful art work (sometimes very expensive finds splashed in with cheap fun stuff)
– mirrors
– candles
– pretty sheets
– natural scents (lately I’m loving lavender)
