All moved back in
at college and ready to take on senior year! Packing and moving into my dorm
room the past three years has been a pretty stressful ordeal and I never seem
to feel at home until my room is complete with wall decorations. This year I
have the pleasure to live in a house with four other of my close friends, and
bonus, we each got our own room! Thus, this time around I have more wall space
to fill and can rearrange all the furniture. Before even arriving I had a
vision in my head of what I wanted my room to look like, and this was basically
centered on the theme of “butterfly fairy world” with some twinkle lights
thrown in. Basing my decorations around the colors of my room, which include
purple, pink, and aquamarine, I decided to get some new wall hangings and pile
together all of my old cards, postcards, and pictures to hang up (à la
Pinterest style).
In addition, I already had the flags I had made from my old
Lilly Pulitzer planner. These flags were actually the first things I hung up,
and they went on my door.
Next I turned to the blank wall next to my bed and
here I arranged my fairy calendar from Barnes and Nobel, two wall canvases I
had gotten from Francesca's over the summer, a print from Paper Source(a
stationary and paper store that I just discovered and am IN LOVE with!) and a
pair of butterfly wings I’ve had for years. Little side note here: I popped
into a Paper Source store two days before coming back to school and I literally
wanted everything in the store. I had piles of notebooks, prints, and mugs in
my hand, and finally settled on sparkly gold wall flags and a print. But let me
tell, you, it was a hard decision. Anyways, back to what I was saying…I love
the way this came together to create the vibe of my room! The colors compliment
each other beautiful and I feel as if my room is a great representation of my
personality, bubbly, bright, happy, and colorful..and full of quotes!
I even happened to find on of my favorite Dr. Seuss quotes, "Why fit in when you were born to stand out" on a wall canvas at Francesca's! I love seeing this right when I wake up as it gives me motivation for the day.
While there is no way I can choose
a favorite section of my decorations, I have to say that the part over my desk holds a special place in my heart.
What’s your dorm
room décor style? How do you like to decorate?
