Home Decor: Decor 2 Ur Door FSU Bedding

Earlier this year, I featured an amazing site which carried creative and fun dorm room bedding & accessories. Decor 2 Ur Door now offers bedding specifically designed for Florida State seminoles. What I love about this collegiate bedding is that it doesn’t scream FSU yet would tie in perfectly with a roommate who swears by decorating the room in complete garnet & gold or just showing your school spirit.

For all of you non-seminoles, this same bedding is available in other colors upon request. They also offer a variety of different collections including sorority bedding!

College Life: Design Your Dorm

If you are moving out of the house and into a college dorm room in August, this site is for you! Design Your Dorm’s website gives you the most realistic view of how your dorm room will be set up. Just go to the site, create an account, select your school and the dorm you will be living in then start designing, decorating & shopping. While you decorate, Design Your Dorm will keep track of everything that you have added to your dorm room so that you can easily purchase the items you have used. It’s that simple! You can also use their move-in checklist to make sure you have everything you need for college. I first featured Design Your Dorm back in June of 2009 but since then, they have added over 140 schools to their database. One of the best additions though is the Meebo bar – it allows you to chat with friends via your social media accounts directly on DesignYourDorm.com. Great way to connect with your new roommate and discuss your ideas for your dorm room. You can also check out their blog for great tips & advice for college students. This summer, they have been giving away a lot of amazing prizes. They are now hosting a YouTube video contest in which you can win a giftcard to Organize.com for sharing your disaster dorm story. To enter & for complete rules, check out their blog.

College Life: Design Your Dorm

20090407_5I just found a great site that I wish I would have known about last year when I was staying in the dorms. This site is called Design Your Dorm and it allows you to create an online 3-D dorm room which gives you a great idea of what to bring to college and what you should leave at home. You can also have your roommate join which makes it very easy to collaborate especially if you don’t already know them. Best of all, it is free. When you register, you will select your university and residence hall from a list. You can then pick from several different types of dorm rooms. If you are going to be a student at Florida State University and will be staying in the suite style dorms (or hope to), make sure you choose the double with bathroom setup. I have stayed in both Wildwood and Gilchrist halls and it is the exact same setup. Another great thing about this site is that on the right side of the screen, it has a shopping list that helps you keep track of everything you have put into the room and how much it will cost. This site really helps take some of the hassle out of moving!
