I wonder all long that would take though? And the lamp is a good idea too. Love it! I love the Polaroid picture wall… looks so cute. I wonder all long that would take though?

I can't wait to look through it. I actually just uploaded some picture of my dorm room from last year on my flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/marikm1222/). I would suggest to anyone to definitely try to rearrange the furniture a bit for more space if your roommate is into that. Also, I had sort of a variation of the christmas tree lights that I got from Party City that were a lot cooler and turned out really cute. Tapestries are good for added color to the white white walls and also magazine cut outs can be super cool. The wall paper idea with wrapping paper is definitely super easy and looks great - I did that my first year and it turned out really well. Now I'm moving into off campus student housing and have my own room to decorate - I'm extremely excited to try to make it a bit more mature now that I'm starting to feel more like a real person (if you know what I mean).

I am so happy that I did that DIY project -- every time I walk into the room, I smile because of that lamp. Seriously, if you need a little pick me up, find something old and make it new with a cheery paint color! :) Best, Laura Thanks for the lamp-love!
