RISD Dorm

My daughter started freshman year at RISD. She moved into the Freshman dorm in a double room.  She was coming from the midwest, so we flew to Providence and had all her things shipped by UPS in boxes which were delivered to the room and there when we arrived. I only had one day to set up the room so here's how we did it.

This is basically what her half of the room looked like when we arrived. She has a skylight above her bed.

This is the desk area.  The room is pretty big and there is lots of storage.

 The closet is pretty small. She brought extra plastic drawers to put more clothes in.

She brought is handy and easy to assemble Raskog cart from Ikea to put additional art supplies in. 

Her bedding is from West Elm complete with a ink blue Mongolian wool pillow! The pencil pillow is Ikea and other accessories are Urban Outfitters.The posters are from the Murakami Show we saw at the Chicago MCA this summer.

She seems right at home!

it's time for college!

Its time to get my daughter off to college.  She wanted a room to reflect her personality and was a little different than the ordinary.

She also wanted to use some of the finds that she brought back from her trip to India last spring with some other students at her high school.  That's where she found that great elephant tapestry and the hanging elephants!  

I happened to have a duvet cover that was hand printed in India (its was from Saffron Marigold and they still sell it), it matched perfectly.

We added brass string lights from Urban Outfitters and turquoise and orange accents.
