Auburn Decorating...War Eagle!

I've decided if the girls are back in school then summer is officially over so let's have some fall-like weather!  We made the trek up to Auburn on Sunday...three cars loaded with furniture, clothes, and stuff!!  Between the four of us and Stephen (Chelsea's boyfriend) the unloading was pretty quick...the deciding where everything would live...not so quick.

The guys vacated the premises and we got to work and within a couple of hours it started looking like the room Chelsea had planned during the summer.  At 4:00 that afternoon Rich and Katelyn headed back to Panama City.

  Chelsea's three main colors were turqoise blue, green, and brown.  She made the picture hanging on the wall.  It says:  
                                     Live Simply    Give More    Expect Less
                                    .
                                       
That evening and all day Monday we made lists...ran errands...and unpacked.  By 5:00 that night we were finished!
Lamp shade is from Anthropologie, coat rack is from Urban Outfitter
cross is from Hobby Lobby (what can I say...we get around)
Dorm chairs are both uncomfortable
and unattractive.  We found this
chair cover on a great website...
dormsuitedorm.com
Area rug is from Target.com
Shelving and baskets are from Target
Mirror is from Kirklands Home
The curtains on the closet and window are
from Urban Outfitters.com.  Nicole lined these
so you couldn't see the stuff in the closet...then
we tied them back!
                                                 
                                               This bulletin board from last year's dorm
                                                was updated by changing the ribbon and
                                               buttons.  The how-to for making a fabric
                                               covered bulletin board can be found on
                                               my Projects page

                                                   


Chelsea did a great job designing her home away from home...I think her mother's decorating bug has bit her.  At the end of a long and very tiring Monday she said "some of this stuff will be able to go into my apartment next year..."  To which I am thinking....who said you are moving : ) 
Oh well, this is my life!
