Dorm Room Makeover: Drab to Fab!

When I first arrived to Texas Woman's University I was very eager to start my new life run away. As you first move into college you're surrounded by strangers, weird locations, and of course a brand new room which doesn't feel or look like "home" at all. To make matters worse, I was given a very dirty dorm room which reminded me of a roach motel. Well, I take that statement back, my new dorm room was worse than a roach motel! When I first moved in I was greeted to dust, cobwebs, and of course doo-doo stains on my bed. ( I'm not kidding ) My new room was very dirty, empty, and just plain ole' boring so I decided to visit Hobby Lobby to completely transform my shabby room into a living area fit for a queen. (*cough* That's me!)   

While shopping at Hobby Lobby, I saw a lot of great items and decorations that would match my room perfectly. Before I bought any items I decided that I would only pick up decorations which entailed the Eiffel tower and the colors purple and black. Purple and black are the two main colors of my prom dress so I thought  it would be a very cool idea to incorporate my room around those exact colors. With a small budget of 100 dollars, I eventually settled and bought some really beautiful items for my room. I also bought some really cool items for my desk area as well since it'll become the main spot where I will spend majority of my time. After a few hours of decorating, cleaning and organizing, my shabby room was transformed into a chic living area just for me. 

The pictures don't lie. Take a look! :)

My prom picture was the main source of inspiration for my new and chic dorm room. I'm usually the kind of girl who always goes for pink items and such ,but I wanted to try something new and completely different while channeling a whole new me (plus,the color pink is soooo yesterday).  I was completely in love with my prom dress's color scheme,purple and black, so I chose to mainly revolve my room around those two distinct colors. Judging from the pictures, I think I nailed the perfect dorm room, eh?
