This Summer, Take a “Stay-cation”!

This year, why not take the money you usually spend on a summer vacation and invest it in your own home- that way you can enjoy a special "getaway" everyday!  Here are some tips on how to turn
your home into a first-class resort…

1. Take inspiration from from one of your favorite vacation destinations. 

Maybe it's a tropical island or a cozy cabin retreat, or a contemporary big city, or an elaborate European hotel- wherever you like to vacation, take inspiration and re-create the look in your own home!

 

2. Turn your Master Bedroom into a fabulous "hotel" suite.
Just like your favorite resort, stock your bedroom full of luxurious
hotel amenities like high thread count sheets, a comfy goose down duvet,
black-out lined draperies, a beautiful desk, sitting area, lighting, and
artwork.

 

3. Turn your Master Bathroom into a luxurious "spa" oasis–

 

Along with gorgeous cabinets, sinks, faucets, lighting, and tile, be sure to have a generous supply of fluffy white towels, beautiful soaps, lotions and toiletries; as well as a cozy bathrobe.  A lovely framed mirror will dress up any  bathroom.

4. Incorporate special items from your travels-

Display mementos from your favorite places throughout your home such as seashells, sand,
artwork, photography, authentic textiles, pottery,and tableware.  These will add interest to your home AND remind you of a favorite trip.
