{Your Title Here} Bed & Breakfast

Whenever my husband and I get into a rut, he'll say that it's time to book a night at the La Cher Bed & Breakfast. I "opened" that B&B when we were newlyweds and both "starving students" in college... Well, we're no longer newlyweds and he is now the only one STILL in college (okay, he has progressed...it's Dental school this time), but even still, we keep going back to the La Cher Bed & Breakfast.

This is an idea that really has to be personalized by you, but I'll start you out. Each time I do this, I come up with a theme for the room. (I got ideas from browsing websites of real b&bs).

Here are a couple of rooms we "stayed" in:

Winter Dreams Room

I put a little sign on the door (because real b&bs usually have signs on the door--and I'm all about reality, you know...) :)

King's Lodge Room
*Since our last name is Castle, I tried this one revolving around him being king...but stay tuned because I'll be trying a new idea soon ALSO revolving around him being king (it's 3 years later...he won't know!)*(There's only so much you can do to change your bedroom on a budget, so I staged this one in the living room using the Futon!...looks pretty lame, I know, but we enjoyed it!)

You may have noticed already that I'm a checklist kind of girl.
Here's a few things you may need:

  • tealight candles
  • finger foods (or serve dinner before)
  • sparkling cider
  • wine glasses
  • lotion or oils for massage
  • romantic music
  • Breakfast
  • Anything around the house to make the room LOOK like your themed b&b room
  • Lingerie?

The rest is up to you...may your mind wander with creativity!

And please, I live for your comments/ideas... So, take the idea, put your spin on it, and check back in and let me know how it went!
