Dorm Progression, week 1

As of tonight, I have been here for one week exactly.
Here is my dorm room the day I arrived:

And here is my dorm room this evening:



I admit it looks kinda cluttered right now, but that's because I have three drawers and two shelves and nowhere to put some things. But that will change. It still needs a lot of work to make it cozy (and I'm not allowed to put up curtains or hang things on the walls), but it's a LOT better with some sheets, a little color, and my art books up on the shelves. A nice comfy area rug will add a little something too.

I LOVE interior decorating, and I am usually very good at it. But this room and the school's rules are really not giving me much to work with. However, regardless of how boring this might be for other people to look at, I will keep you all updated on the room's progress as I make it into the best possible living space a dorm room can be. By the time I leave in a year, it will be the room everyone wishes they'd had!
