[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]when we did drop off, the guys rooms still looked like prison cinderblock rooms but saw that the girl rooms had the twinkle lights and bean bag chairs and color!  I would have loved the more fun rooms to come back to every night when I was in college, but [b]was not done at my school at time[/b].[/quote]

It wasn't at my school either.  But I still painted my half of the room, put up handmade picture boards, put up cute curtains, bought a coordinating rug.  And I was in college 40 years ago.

I do the same thing for my kids now.  So I don't hire a designer but I do the design myself.  My kids are in their dorm rooms for 9 months.  There is no need for it to look like a dump.

Oddly, my work is very non-creative.  Perhaps this is my way of using the creative side of my brain?  Fortunately my kids expect and appreciate it.[/quote]

So interesting! My son’s first apartment at school was this year (sophomore). 3 rooms, 6 kids and a good size common area. We showed up as the boys organized the spreadsheet of who brings what.  Us parents were impressed…decorative sparse but it was robust in all the essentials! Way better stocked than my first apartment post college…they cared more about the 55” tv, gaming etc. but also the blender, rice cooker, and full knife set to name a few. We all have budgets, the kids all have what is important to them. Love the options and price ranges. For gosh sakes my daughter’s homecoming dress cost far less than mine did in the 80s..cheaply made but for something she will only wear once as I did so it is fine.[/quote]
