Home Sweet Dorm With Pottery Barn Teen

Dorm Room Ideas

 

Last week I collaborated with Pottery Barn Teen to create my dream dorm room if I were college bound again.  It was feminine, filled with gold, and would have easily carried me through my first few years of post college Chicago life as well.  This week I’m partnering with PB Teen again, but to create a space fit for a guy (cue Beyonce’s song “If I were a boy”).  Having lived with my own boy (the Mr.) through four different homes now this was by no means a reach.  

Of course my color palette consisted of bright orange and deep navy with a mix of patterns including this skull bedding (which I tried to figure out how to incorporate into my own home because I love it so much), the always classic stripes, and one contrasting throw pillow since even one throw pillow is a stretch for the boys.  Then a big trunk at the end of the bed for storage, plus a few well placed pieces of wall decor, a desk, and a comfy spot for TV watching and video games and you pretty much have all they’ll need to survive their college years.  

You can get the full look here, plus make sure to check out PB Teen’s “Design Your Own” application which is perfect for those of us who need to see our creation come to life before we press the buy button.  truly, MKR

Decorating With Flowers || Quirky Animal Vases

I could live without many of life’s little luxuries, fresh flowers however would not be one of them.  Flowers bring instant joy and life to a room and they make a house feel like a home.  And where there’s fresh flowers there must be vases. Currently I’m obsessed with quirky vases, or rather vases with personality.  Vases like these white and gold animals.  I mean you can’t look at these little guys and not be happy!  They’re perfect for holding just a few bright blooms (because lets face it fresh flowers can be expensive) and they make the perfect hostess gift.  Plus when they’re not brimming with peonies or tulips on your nightstand or coffee table they’ll look fabulous on your desk full of pens and pencils.  So Loves which animal are you most fond of?  truly, MKR
