ladies and gentlemen… the dorm room






with it being back to school season ive been seeing lots of posts about beautiful dorm rooms. and yes, if you are willing to move out your furniture to a storage space and bring in all your own things, like this one, then you can make it like a fancy schmancy home. but most college kids aren’t on that kind of budget and have to make due with what they have been provided.

my little sister is off to hobart and william smith for her second year, and sadly has to live in a dorm AGAIN. so it became her mission to make it as homey and cute as possible. she sent me pictures today, and after only a week at school i would say she seriously succeeded! it looks incredible. i am so impressed (proud).

each girl has a gallery wall next to their bed. pretty, bright, floral bedding. lots of colorful art to brighten up the drab space. and my personal favorite, a new, fun spin on a popular poster. one girl has “keep calm and carry on” above their bed, the other girl has “now panic and freak out”. i love it! so happy for these girls, they have made a total dungeon into a home. xoxo

PS my ONLY suggestion is that both girls should have bed skirts, makes such a difference!

my continuation of color week




completely by accident, i have blogged about color all week. pink, white and now this. hope you have enjoyed my accidental theme

these beautifully, colorful, happy pictures are all from the home decor store black and spiro. sadly, it is in australia. so far away from me. the good news, is that can you still read the owner’s blog, absolutely beautiful things and thats exactly what she features in her posts.

my personal favorite, along with the rest of the blogosphere, is the tutu’ed desk. every girl should be able to work at that desk.
