Linen Inventory ~ For the Guests

/2 Comments/in , /by

 

Hello Everyone,

I hope you all had a great weekend! I did, it was rainy the entire time but I ordered some more vintage Weiss earrings from Poshmark, got a new purple plant for my blue and white planter, planted some beautiful purple stock in my new swan planter, and did some dress shopping for the boutique.

Have any of you started any garden work in your yards yet? What are your special projects for the spring? I did get some rose bushes from Costco and planted those so we will see how they do.

On Friday I talked about the linen list that author Jane Scott Hodges mentioned in her book. Today I wanted to share her linen inventory list for the guest bedroom and bathroom.

Jane suggested having the following to provide your guest:

Guest Bedroom:

  • 2 sets of sheets (flat, fitted, and pillowcases)
  • 2 blanket covers (styled for summer and winter)
    2 sets of shams to match the blanket covers
  • 1 duvet cover
  • 1 throw quilt
  • 1 boudoir pillow or neck roll

I still have not found a neck roll that I like. I am still on the hunt!

For the guest bathroom:

  • 4 linen guest towels
  • 4 bath sheets
  • 6 bath towels
  • 6 fingertip towels
  • 6 washcloths
  • 2 bath mats

I hope this list was helpful to you all. You can use this as just a starting point to begin your linen inventory. My dream is to have a bigger linen closet one day. I hate smashing everything into my small hallway closet. I don’t understand why linen closets are still so small. Do any of you have large linen closets? I really would love to turn my step-son’s bedroom into a decor room but we will see. 

Thanks for reading and have a great Monday!

    This is good info as well for guest. That space often gets neglected until someone announces their plan to visit. Mrs Shockley have you looked on Etsy for a neck roll pillow? I have 2 favorite shops I’d like to recommend. Shop Little Design Co and Flying Tack. I’ve enjoyed my purchases for years.

    I’m bringing plants and flowers indoors since my landlord said I couldn’t plant in the yard and container gardens aren’t allowed (psycho HOA?) So houseplants and weekly Kroger flowers it is for me. ????

      Hi Tracey,
      I will definitely check out those two shops you mentioned. Thank you for telling me! I can’t believe you can’t plant flowers or have planters! That would make me so sad. But at least you are making the best of it by having flowers in your home.
