[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the idea of a form headboard posted on this blog.  http://theoldpostroadblog.blogspot.com/2013/06/easy-dorm-room-headboard-tutorial.html

There is nothing wrong with coordinating with a dorm-mate or buying two sheets of the same style to make the room look more coordinated, neat and spacious.

Yeah, Mom, there is something wrong with that.[/quote]

Different poster but I don't see what is wrong with wanting a nice nest.  The dorm room is a home away from home and I would want it to be nice.  I know my kids certainly have put a lot of thought into how to make their dorm rooms comfortable, and I am glad to make it happen for them!

But different strokes for different folks.[/quote]

My point was let the kids work it out themselves rather than start researching foam headboard tutorials or suggesting that the roommate (whom neither of you know yet) should be willing to coordinate on decor.   Pushy mom in the middle is not a good way to start off a yearlong roommate relationship.  [/quote]

I think you're projecting.  I'm just indicating a willingness to support and bankroll my child's choice.  I have in no way indicated that I'm taking the lead on the project.  Happy life![/quote]

Immediate PP to the 'my point' poster.  Sorry for the 'projecting'.  I was being defensive.  The issue of dorm linens and decorating the dorm room is sensitive to me because my daughter's roommate last year was very mean about it.  She made my daughter feel like she was flighty and an airhead because my daughter wanted to decorate the room.  Our girl had been very excited about decorating her first dorm room and this girl stated that she believed this need to decorate was sign of an inferior brain (Ivy school).  I'm sorry I snapped at you.[/quote]
