Ahh...Dorm Life



Yes, as you now know by the title of today's blurb, or blog, I live in a dorm.  Although there have been "dormitory horror stories," my experience has been less than horrific.  It has been a blessing if anything.  I have met many fabulous ladies and have some friendships in the making.  I was also blessed with a double room as a single, meaning I live by myself in a room that was meant for two people.  Thank you Lord.  Now, as you know, dorms are not usually spacious.  This also means there isn't a whole lot of options for arrangement.  I have tried.  My current set-up is about to take a twist as well.  One of many things I have inherited from my mother is the love for rearranging.  (Thanks Mom....really.)  It is fun to experiment with arrangements and switch things up.  Change can be good.  (*The above picture is of my bed nook.  I know it looks a bit odd with shelving above it, but I love it.  It has become a comfy cozy spot for reading and, of course, sleeping.)
(*This is my computer/printer set-up.  Thanks to this space I can communicate with ya'll!)

ANYWAY, I will end this tangent and simply say, check out the photos to see how it's set up right now.  (A few have been confused when I attempt to explain where my bed is and what not, so now you can see it for yourself.)  
(*This is what you when first entering.  The right side bed is my daybed/homemade couch...thanks mother.  Hiding behind the couch is a little refrigerator, microwave, small cabinet for my dishes, etc.  It's amazing what you can do with small spaces!)

Also, I would LOVE to have your opinions on any new arrangement ideas!  
Everything is able to moved except the counter top, which is a fairly large portion of the room!  Thanks.  I hope you are all figuring this blog deal out and how to leave comments, etc.  I didn't mean for it to cause stress in your life.
(*This is what you see when standing back by the window....my "closet," door, bed nook, etc.)
