Unless you have a grand house that you want to show off, I don't think you need to. Really, all anyone needs to know is where to find the bathroom.

ReplyDeleteugh!!! now I will never accept a tour into someone's bedroom!!!! my home is pretty open and all on one floor... so no one needs a tour... especially of the messy bedrooms behind closed door :)
