The Biggest Dorm Room Preparation Post of All Time

Goodness gracious! For the past week, my mom and I have been getting everything set up for my dorm room in the fall! I've been getting really excited, but it's been hard to think of every little thing possible for the room! I don't find out my room mate or freshman dorm until the middle of July, so I can't really coordinate anything or plan anything with them. I'm trying to get everything done before I go on vacation, and also before everything is sold out! SO, I finally am posting everything that I have for my dorm room! I hope this helps future freshman! Also, if any college students/graduates are reading this, can you please comment with anything that I may have missed? Thanks so much! Enjoy!!


Monogrammed towels...




Trays for...whatever? It can hold pretty much anything from hair accessories and makeup to random items!


Rubber flip flops for the shower. I'm not taking my chances about walking on those floors!!


Lilly Pulitzer foldable bins for clothes, shoes, anything!


Laundry bag and bags for delicates...I have another huge laundry bag being monogrammed right now as well.


My wall goodies! I have two mini posters, a magnet board, a picture board, and a dry-erase board. 


Folders, notebooks, and sticky notes. I really don't know what people use in college in terms of binders, notebooks, etc. so if anyone has any input, please let me know!!


A jewelry box! I don't wear much jewelry and the box is bigger then it looks, so it will definitely carry everything.


A pencil case...



Just boxes...they're going to hold printer paper and regular lined paper.


More storage containers and bins...


A trash can with a sticker monogram...

A fan...



I have some picture frames...the pink and green one is Lilly (of course) and the white also comes in pink and green! I got it from TJ Maxx and it's so cute!!


Hangers...


In order to have all of my storage stuff in my room, I have to lift the bed!


Drawer organizer...


I just got this lamp from Target yesterday! It's super cute!


Okay there is a lot of stuff in this picture so I'm going to explain it all. The removal wall hooks are for bags, etc. I also have a shower poof thing (I don't know the actual name!), razors, nail files, Advil, a digital alarm clock, batteries, cotton balls, and band-aids.


Ziplock bags, trash bags, chip clips, and cough drops!


Here are my desk accessories! I have a mini desk hutch, a pair of scissors, a stapler and staples, tape, sharpies, and tons of sticky notes@


Here is a lot of the dorm room stuff in a large plastic container from the Container Store. I bought 3 large and long containers to go under my bed for clothes/other things.


For food!


I thought this was adorable...


A hair styling storage system. Such a good idea!
