Dorm Decor & More

Some of you are becoming empty nesters this month, and your teens are off to college. What an exciting time for everyone!  When Ms. Shop This went to Bard, we had such fun getting her stylishly set up for success.  This edit will get their school year started. These fab finds can also work for your child's room at home. Have fun shopping together.

If Dorm Room Walls Could Talk.....

{ Via: Etsy }

If your child's dorm room walls could talk before they move in, they would say "cover me." Those cinder blocks are bad. But if the same walls could talk after your child moved in....well....you may not want to hear.  I realize that it will be difficult this year, above all years, to let your student leave home. These fun finds, will make them feel more at home, while away at school.

Inspiration for this post is the photo above. That space really pops! How adventurous are you when it comes to decorating?

But the digs are so ready for an update, and I am always taking notes on fun finds. Today I have rounded up some design ideas and stylish pieces to get us all  thinking boldly.
