I have a favorite annual tradition with an old friend from my LA days. We’ve known and supported each other for 31 years. With the exception of 2020’s worst Thanksgiving ever, he has spent every one of those long holiday weekends with me since I moved to San Diego in 2010. When I’m looking for feedback on the comfort of my guest suite, he’s one of the overnight visitors I ask.
Who helps you make your guest accommodations better, healthier, safer, more comfortable and enjoyable? The tips I share from my own experience and three pros — one designer, one chef and one burnout coach — can be that extra help you need this season. Here’s a link to my latest Design Milk piece.
