Hello all!
Happy Tuesday and welcome to the new month of November, the semester is flying by, I can’t believe that Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away. I had intended for this post to go up months ago, but a funny thing called life happened. But, better late than never, right?!
Today, I’m going to be giving you a peak into my dorm room this year, one of the perks of my job on campus is getting my own room and bathroom, and let me tell you, after sharing a bathroom for 20 years…having my own bathroom has completely changed my life. I have lived in the same building for the last three years so if the rooms look similar, that’s why.
I have used the same room décor from year to year, with adding a new piece or two each year.
Here’s a peak into my room from freshmen year, I had a roommate freshmen year and we coordinated our colors. It was average sized, we each had our own dresser, desk, wardrobe, and bed. It was nice to have a roommate since I never shared a room with anyone, we are still best friends to this day, but I have to admit it’s nice to have my own room again.
Sophomore year was my first year solo, so I had more freedom with the layout of my room. With my own room, I had more space so I got two chairs from Bed Bath and Beyond. They weren’t too expensive but they will last me through college. I enjoyed the layout of this room, but I didn’t have a bathroom, I was okay with that since I still had my own room.
Now, here we are with junior year. I decided to had more portraits and posters to cover up white space. I went with a Paris theme for my bathroom. Teal, Black, and White are my colors with pops of gold mixed in. I love my set-up with this room, from the placement of things, to the view, and bathroom, it has been my favorite space to decorate thus far.
This year has been my favorite set-up so far. I love the way the room flows as well as the space I have, it’s almost like a mini-apartment, it also give me great practice and ideas for when I have my own space one day.
I’m so glad I was able to finally show you all my dorm room for the year, considering I spend most of my time here, it’s about time you see my space. I’m looking forward to see where I am living next year and how I will decorate that space.
What are your best memories from decorating your first place on your own?
Have a great week!
