College Creations: A Splash of Color

Last year when my suite mates and I got our room assignment for this year, we ran directly up to the suite to knock on the door and check it our for ourselves. Even though we had never met the girls living there before, they were more than happy to show us around. After we noticed the amazing view, the next thing we focused on was how awesome the decorations were in their dorm. It looked less like a dorm and more like a little apartment! In an effort to recreate their decor, we have been hanging pictures and at on the walls. However, the real fun came when we decided to make our own art. This is an example of the mixed media art that we hung up and how to make it.

Girly Girl Glam

A girl’s room as she grows up is her world. It is where she will have her best friend curl her hair for the first time, where she tries out all of her over the top costume jewelry, and where she will sit and talk to her friends for hours about all of the growing pains that go hand in hand with being a girl. Ask any grown woman or unsuspecting dad who has tried to gain entry without knocking, it is a sacred space. That is why it should be paradise! J&O accumulated our top five favorite fabrics for a girl’s room.
