Company's Coming! 20% Savings With Coupon

GUEST ROOM MAKEOVERS

With the holidays near at hand, it usually means house guests aren't too far behind, and it's not too early to start planning for them! This Friday, October 9th, we'll be showcasing ideas on how to do just that. Print our blog coupon to take advantage of a 20% savings.

First and most importantly are the bed linens. It’s crucial that you provide crisp, clean, and coordinated linens for your overnight guests. They’ll feel especially welcome and it’s easy to do. We carry the fine linens of Sferra, Schlossberg and Ogallala Down to name only a few.

If your room does double duty when you don't have guests, it helps to remove the clutter before they arrive. Then, add a few items to make their stay easier, such as a good reading light, comfy robe with slippers, hangers with free space in the closet, also a carafe of water by the bed. A book or two, a vase of flowers, and a fragrant candle or diffuser add the finishing touches.

The guest bath need a refresher too? Pamper your guests with the beautiful towels of Home Source or Abyss. Coordinate with bath rugs by Habidicor or Serge Lesage. Freshen up your soaps and lotions with Lady Primrose and Thymes. It's all in the details and that's what we're good at. We also carry the full lines of both Arte Italica and Vietri bath accessories. Come in, we'd love to help you create that perfectly comfy setting for your guests.

If you feel you need some on-site help, Debi, Cover Story's Design Consultant, is available for in home appointments. She can help you define the look you want, while coordinating it with what you already have. Call us at 650 948-4395 and we'll set up an appointment for you.
