[quote=Anonymous]Whoosh.   My DD roommate has contacted her.  Seems nice enough, but I gather she is fairly well off and wants to 'decorate' and 'coordinate' the dorm room.

The most recent question was "what type of headboard should we get for the bed?"   Huh?  I sent my daughter some samples of pillows she could put on the bed, but said a "headboard" seemed a little too much.

Is this a thing now?   I hardly had anything when I went.  Couldn't afford such things.  It's a state school, so there will surely be kids who don't have funds to do this.

I just don't want my DD to start off on the wrong foot with this young lady.   I am not a decorator type nor do I particularly enjoy it.   Will just be getting comfortable bedding - sheets and some posters.  Also not interested in buying a bunch of junk that will wind up in a land-fill.  Trying to think of a nice way for DD to tell the other gal that she has to stay in budget, etc etc etc.

DD is working for the summer out of state and not really able to address these "decorating" questions too.
