Home Decorating Inspiration From Hotels: a house log

You may have seen glimpses of our lively with the Bowers in our little road trip video from last week, but we are back to share a collection of lively decorating ideas courtesy of our stay at the quirky and memorable Hotel Preston in Nashville. Katie and I had been brainstorming another video that we could throw together ever since we began planning our little reunion. And once we checked in at our hotel it was obvious that it was full of remarkable inspiration that triggered some hotel-chic ideas that anyone can implement at home. So without further ado, here are half of our go-to hotel-inspired decorating ideas…

…to see the other half, simply head on over to All Bower Power.

But then do not forget to come back and tell us what hotel touches you’ve drawn inspiration from in the past. Was it a paint color? A good friend of mine painted her half bath a rich navy hue after she saw it at a posh hotel. Perhaps it was an remarkable featherbed or even a bathrobe that you simply had to introduce to your own home after spotting it at a hotel? How do you keep your guest room feeling luxe and oh so inviting for your friends and family? Do tell.

Note: Hotel Preston did not comp us, pay us, or otherwise reward us for mentioning them in this post. We found them via Travelocity & TripAdviser and paid to stay there because it looked lively. And it was.
