The Write Stuff
Good hotels always provide a desk and chair for travelers. Margo placed a small rattan writing desk at the foot of this bed. It's an ideal spot for jotting down notes or writing postcards. Plus, we love the placement for adding drama to any bed.

Easy-To-Repeat Pillow Arrangement 

A large pile of pillows on the bed looks inviting, but it also presents a challenge for visitors when it comes time to make the bed. Dress your guest bed simply with pairs of pillows neatly arranged. If you want to offer extra toppings, such as quilts, stack them in the closet for easy access.

"Relaxing Guest Retreat" is from the November 2005 issue of Southern Living.
