Dorm Room Decor

Have you been to the big box stores lately?? They are bursting with back 2 school supplies and dorm room décor. I love it!

I have always been a lover of school supplies, I still am {I am an admitted dork}. I was that kid who couldn’t wait to go back to school shopping for fun glittery supplies {you know the one’s from Lisa Frank}, scissors, backpacks & lunchboxes, clothes & shoes. Well, nothing has changed, except the Lisa Frank look. I am way out of school and college, but every year I can’t help but to breeze through the dorm décor and school supplies to see what fun things they came out with now!!

In college, I had the most adorable dorm room and apartment décor. I had a blast changing it up year to year and showcasing my personality while doing it {it didn’t help I was in interior design school}. So, for the love of all things back to school, I decided to carry on the dorm room décor tradition from last year {dorm room duo 1 and dorm room duo 2} and create a few room boards dedicated to all things collegiate!
