The hotel bathroom is a test of character, and most men fail it before the first morning is out.

Five dishes executed reliably are worth more than a hundred attempted once and abandoned in disgrace.

Your guest should feel expected, not tolerated. The difference is clean towels and a moment's forethought.

If a guest would hesitate before touching the taps, your bathroom is not clean.

Your home does not need to impress. It needs to suggest that an adult lives there.

A wardrobe full of clothes that do not fit is not a wardrobe. It is a museum of former intentions.

Leather is skin. Treat it as you would your own, which is to say with regular attention and the occasional application of something nourishing.

A wrinkled shirt tells people you got dressed in the dark and hoped no one would notice.
