[Imaginary] : B&B Owner

Tuesday, January 26, 2010

It's time for my big imagination to roam through this blog again ;p If you've read my first imaginary play or my last imaginary play post in this blog, you'll see that I love doing imaginary plays and one of my favourite imaginary play beside being a party planner is being someone whose in charge of house decorating. And so this time it will be about that.

Now let's play:

This time I pretend I'm an old lady probably in my 60s who own a Bed & Breakfast in the country side. I'm a cheerful and friendly grandma.
Now this is not your usual B & B, this is a bigger version of it, with 14 rooms to rent. Some of them en-suite and some of them share a bathroom in the hall. As the owner, I like to decorate the rooms to attract visitors, so I decided to furbish every room with a different decoration or theme.

The B&B consist of a main house where all the guest rooms are, a big garden on every side and at the back with patio and terraces. There's also a small cottage at the side of the garden which houses my staffs.


So first of all, let me introduce you to my staffs (who lives on the B&B) and our rooms. I tried to make my staffs feel comfortable and at-home so I decorate their bedrooms and shared bathroom as homey as possible:



Household:
Owner / Me
Tasks: Greet guests, check-in desk, oversee the whole shebangs, read reports, manage B&B.
Living quarter: 1st fl bedroom

And now that you have seen my staff's living quarter let's now look at the guest rooms. Here are the bedrooms available for guests:

We have different types of accommodation here, we have queen sized, king sized, twin bed or single bed. We also have a unique name to every room, such as The Girls room or The Boys room that represents the decorations in the room.

Other room names are The Attic room, The Oriental Room, etc...
