One more thing no guest room should be without

I was a guest at my aunt and uncle's house earlier this week, and coupled with our recent guest room makeover, hospitality has been top of mind for me these last few days. In addition to comfy sheets, fluffy towels, a bedside lamp, reading material, and all the other ideas that have been bantered around lately, I picked up one more tip over the weekend from my aunt to add to that list:

A night light. I can't believe I hadn't thought about it sooner actually. When you wake up in the middle of the night, and groggily fumble around for the bathroom in the pitch-dark, a night light makes you feel so much more at ease-which is especially important when you're in unfamiliar territory. I like the one pictured here for the following reasons: it emits a soft glow, so it won't interfere with getting a good night's sleep, yet is bright enough to help you navigate. It's extremely energy efficient (.03 watts!) so you don't have to feel guilty about leaving it plugged in. Design-wise it's clean, modern, and discreet. Unlike a lot of the ones I've seen out there that are either overly cutesy or clunky, this would blend well with any decor. And best of all you can buy a pack of two for less than five bucks.
