Styled concept, not a photograph. The pieces below are the ones to shop.
Ready before they call
The Guest Room
A guest room should be ready without a scramble. Quilt over the duvet, linen shams, a lumbar in front. The bed does most of the talking.
On the nightstand, a ceramic lamp, a carafe of water, and a candle. On the bed, a wood tray with a book about the place they are visiting.
Nothing in the room should be yours. If a guest has to move your things to put down a bag, it is not a guest room yet.

Two 26-inch washed linen shams. The layer that makes a bed look finished.
Cotton Quilt in Beige Flax
A channel-stitched cotton quilt with two shams. Light enough to leave out all year.
Linen Lumbar Pillow Cover
A natural linen lumbar for the front of the bed. One is the right number.
Ceramic Table Lamp
A chalky off-white base with a plain drum shade. Warm light, nothing to look at twice.
Bedside Carafe and Glass
A glass carafe with a tumbler that doubles as its lid. The oldest kind of hospitality.
Square Wood Tray
A twenty-inch square tray with cut-in handles. Carries drinks out, corrals them after.
Fall EditAmber Glass Soy Candle
Soy wax in thick amber glass. Smells like the first cool evening of the year.
Hill Country Houses
A hardcover of limestone houses, long porches, and slow rooms. Worth reading, too.
