If you’ve been around here for a while, you know that we renovated a little Guest House attached to our garage just over a year ago. It has really been such a great addition to our home. It’s a perfect little spot for our friends and family to stay when they are in town, and when it’s available, we also host it on airbnb. It’s just so much nicer for our guests to have a space for themselves.

We’ve recently done a couple of updates in the Guest House to make it a little more comfortable. We had a big dresser in there, but just found that guests didn’t need all that storage, so we replaced it with a little loveseat and I think it’s a great addition. Before we just had one chair, so if there was two guests, someone had to sit on the bed. And as it’s getting cooler, I’m making sure there is lot’s extra blankets, fluffy robes and even softy socks so that everyone feels right at home.

When guests spend the night in our little Guest House, we try to make it as much as a home away from home as possible, and that’s why we provide a simple breakfast and good coffee. In my books, a good cup of coffee is vital for having a good day. We keep it pretty simple with a pastry, some fruit or maybe yogurt and a hard boiled egg. Recently we added a Nespresso machine and stocked it with Peet’s Coffee Espresso Capsules. There’s nothing better then waking up to a yummy shot of espresso.

I’ve long been a fan of Peet’s Coffee, whenever I’m in San Fran, it’s a MUST! But, now it’s easier than ever to have their dark, rich, and intense espresso flavor at home. And they are so easy to purchase – Peet’s Coffee Espresso Capsules are available at Amazon.com, Target, Vons, and Peets.com. They are conveniently compatible with Nespresso Original machines. And the capsules are made of aluminum.

My personal favorite is the Ristretto blend. It has a beautiful rich crema.

So, come be our guest!
