Is The Guest Bathroom, Your Step-Child?

I do not wish to cast ill-will on (what some would call) "step-children". That is far from the truth. I believe if you love someone who has children, then those children deserve your love like they were your own. It is a package deal. You can not love one without the other.
So with that out of the way. I believe that the Guest Bath(room) should get the same love as the Kitchen and the Master Bath receive.
Granted, you do not spend as much time in there as you do your bath but when it comes to design and care, yes, it should get the same. It should reflect the Master Bathroom.
Why? Because any impression will show. When you bought or made the house, you should have realized that, not only was it a selling piece (to you) but it was also part of the home. Guests should feel at home, not a guest. What impression are you giving?
Remember, your guest(s) will be in there. Will they feel the love radiate from every corner of that bathroom or will they feel they are just a spare. Is it a “Spare Bathroom”? No. The whole house reflects YOU. So in every “crick n cranny”, YOU should be there.
Would you feel welcomed in your Guest Bathroom? If, not, then how do YOU expect others to feel welcomed? So when it comes to remodeling the Kitchen and Bathroom, make sure that that room, your Guest Bathroom, gets a piece of the Love. Gets a piece of YOU. Your style. Your taste. They will see how YOU reflect in detail. How YOU respect attention to detail. Do not neglect it (...is that a double-negative?).
The best advice the realm of Bloggers has given me, is "bring yourself to the table". With this article I hoped I did just that. What some would call my “step-children” I love as my own. If they do not feel it, I do not know what to tell them, they should. If they want my time, it is there to give. Just like my own. I do not push myself at them. I have a relationship will all of MY kids. If you have been following my blogs, you can find my opinion about relationships in them. If I have not said it enough, I have not said it at all. “Relationships are everything.” My Pastor taught me that, and I do not take them lightly. They are all that we can take with us, good or bad, relationships.
Now will your relationship start with your Guest Bathroom? I can not say, but that Guest Bathroom will reflect...YOU. So give it your attention, whether it wants it or not, needs it or not, it is still…YOURS. Make it great.
