one thing i really can’t stand is when i’m seriously disorganized, so you can imagine how stressful college move-in day (or days in my case) is. the roomie and i are still decorating our rooms and after moving in over a week ago, finally managed to raise her bed. i’ve given up on mine… the one thing i do have some control over right now is my desk, and it’s officially becoming a crafting station, no joke.

sophomore year is beginning next week and i couldn’t be more excited. new classes, new experiences and new moments with friends all await me, and starting sunday everything picks up again. i’m starting to pack (which has turned out to be absolutely hellish), and narrowing down clothes, jewelry, shoes and all of the above, hopefully learning from last year’s move in. for the next few days posts won’t be as frequent, but to tide you guys over i thought i’d share my dorm design scheme. i love the way everything came together, and it just so happens this is the one thing i have figured out!

anthropologie rosette bedding in neutral/ivory, which i got during the bedding sale (plus my bday discount)!

assorted pillows from anthropologie, west elm (both sequin ones were on sale!), and etsy (striped)!

a piece of home!

something came over me and i had to get this… i don’t know why, but i love it. all it needs are gold glitter antlers and it’s perfect!

cutest products from sugar paper that manage to stick to my obsessive color scheme…

diy confetti wall art

and last, but not least, the calendar that gets me through everything

i absolutely love making things from scrapbooks to cards, but room decor is probably my favorite. inspiration boards, murals cut out of silver poster board, you name it, i probably love or would love to make it. i had seen these confetti canvases all over the internet and figured they’d be easy to make. easy is an understatement! you only need a few supplies, along with ten minutes, and you’re good to go. when the holidays come around i plan on making some for me and my roommate to hang up on our dorm room door (how cute would a halloween one be?!). you can definitely personalize these through color, quotes, initials, etc., which i definitely think i’ll do in the future!

me and my obsessive tendencies

i am the kind of person that once i love something, i truly LOVE it. it’s bad, i know, and some people may be a bit horrified by the sheer amount of sites, blogs, projects, and products i have favorited on my computer. i’m not. i like to consider it a serious kind of devotion, and this devotion is also seen in my everyday life, whether it be in my job, schoolwork, side projects, etc. i throw myself into something and i won’t stop until it’s completed (also i try to make it perfectly completed…)

anyways, i’m getting sidetracked.. back to my obsession. if i find something and i love it, i will squeeze everything i can out of our relationship (that sounds violent, this is more of a materialistic relationship, do not worry!). me and stripes, yeah it’s an unhealthy relationship, the photo below says it all…

so, yesterday i found a site that makes the most amazing posters of cities and i’m lusting after so, SO many of them. that little ol’ word “obsessed” has popped up again, but you know, i think you guys will be too…

how is this $22… it’s a miracle.

seeing georgetown gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling. i seriously may need this for my dorm room.

why are these so perfect?

could this be any cooler?

so yes, i will say it i have “serious devotion” to ork and i am proud. now, all we need is a long island poster and then we’ll be talking…

Since getting back from school I’ve let my room slip.. and by slip I mean it looked like hell. So I’ve taken the past few days to organize and revamp it and I’m loving the way it’s coming together! I’m waiting for some pillows, throw blankets and organizers to arrive, but once they do a post will be up! My desk area/inspiration nook is looking great though, I love it so far!

Chevron pillows are from http://www.etsy.com/shop/cottageruffles and I absolutely love them!!  They are so cute and SO well made. Thank you Mary! I’ll definitely be checking out this Etsy shop for my dorm room decorating.
