Being my 5th season here, I've accumulated quite a bit of stuff that I just leave stored here and then use from season to season. But it makes it so worth it when the whole room comes together and becomes a home here. My roommate is Lisa, and we get along swimmingly. She brought in some great decor also, and after a week, the room went from the before picture on the bottom to the after pictures on the top shown here.
The first thing I told Lisa was that it's a good thing I had gotten over my aversion to the color pink since a lot of her fabrics have that color in them. There was a running joke that I wasn't allowed to decorate the room since she had this whole color scheme going, and the decor I had was blue and green which didn't match (you'll notice the one green bolster pillow that I snuck in on the bench we have). Several of our friends joined in the fun and asked her why I wasn't allowed to decorate the room, and eventually she got back at me by naming the room the "Barbie Palace." (I'm not a big fan of Barbie.) And it seems that name is sticking with a few folks who have seen it. We have by far taken the cake for the unofficial "Parade of Homes Contest" among the dorm rooms here on station.
