I have decided that today I will discuss dorm decor! After looking through those pages up top (organized based on what kind of posts you like to read) I have decided that I need more in the realm of both 'decor' and 'college.' So here is the best of both worlds. Over the course of my freshman year, I have accumulated and gotten rid of things and am in the process of re-organizing and would love all suggestions...within reasonability since my bank account is indeed lacking. I have also started thinking about what I want to do next year. I will either be in a single, if I get the RA position, or in a quad with some other girls. Completely opposite ends of the spectrum, I know. Either I get supreme privacy and total space, or I get both severely limited.
Here are pictures of 3 of the most important spaces in my room:
Here are pictures of 3 of the most important spaces in my room:
Where I slumber and write most of my blog. It is surprisingly comfy for a school provided piece of furniture. Unfortunately, since I lowered the bed those wooden pegs stick up on the sides and aren't the most attractive. Next year I want to make a headboard or drape some fabric down like a canopy. Curtains for the windows will also be in order!
The second most popular place for writing this blog! This is the cleanest the desk has been this entire year. Hopefully it stays that way. :)
And my beautiful closet! This is my favorite part of the dorm because not all the rooms have closets big enough for clothes, shoes and a human! Seriously...this is where I change clothes. It is the closest thing to a walk-in-closet I have ever had.
Suggestions are very much welcome! I probably wouldn't be doing much now since I will only be in this room for 3 more months. But I would love to start planning for my dorm next year :)

Any good, inexpensive DIY projects?
I thought for the wooden peg you could probably make created some sort of balls to hide them away.
ReplyDeleteIf you got the room to yourself would you try to go for at theme?
That's a good idea too! I will try to figure something out with that. A little less effort might be best for me :)
DeleteIf I do get the room by myself. I do not so much have a theme but rather a color scheme. I like black, white, gold and a blush pink.
