[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Painting the walls?

Ridiculous. [/quote]
 
I don't think it would have even been allowed in my dorm. [/quote]

Definitely not allowed at George Washington. I haven't visited many dorms, but I haven't seen cinderblock walls. The dorms I've seen look like normal bedrooms, with wooden Ikea-type furniture. Maybe a tad spartan, but not jailbird by any means! My son's GW room is painted white, has blue carpet, three windows, and is perfectly fine as it is. He brought his teddy bear and blue bedding/towels to go with the carpet. It pulls the room together without any unnecessary add-ons.

Forget the other posts. I think it’s adorable as hell your son brought his teddy bear, and I mean that genuinely![/quote]
