I survived move in day at UGA with my oldest daughter. Two years later I'm doing it again with my other daughter Riley at Ole Miss. Oh the pressure - there's even a Pinterest Board for the dorms at Ole Miss!  Are you kidding me? I was excited when my dorm room at the University of Richmond had a Van Gogh watercolor print and a live plant in the window for God's sake!

Well, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em as they say. So here we go!

Riley and her roommate Lauren found a website they love for bedding called Decor-2-ur-door.com.

They decided on the Coral and Aqua combo.

I haven't put my ever critical designer hawk eye to this bedding yet (we just ordered it), but there are several clever things I already like about Decor-2-ur-door.

A) the bedskirts have a drop of 32" which is exactly what Riley needs for her room in Crosby Hall as her bed is half lofted.

B) I can order a pair of panels (with black out lining for good sleeping) at a standard length of 72" which is also exactly what I need to mount the panels at the ceiling and have them come to the window sill.

Hey - this company is making it REALLY EASY for me.

I LOVED this combo but I got out voted.

I will always be a fan of pink.

Another company that we considered was one that we found out about from my designer friend Holly Hollingsworth Phillips of The English Room called LeighDeux Dorm.

Mothers and founders of Leigh Deux Dorm - Leigh Goodwyn and Leigh-ann Sprock of Charlotte, NC. 

This one from the Carson Cloud collection is  H-A-P-P-Y

How great are these headboard pillows?

Now that we have Riley's bedding figured out, we can work on a few more details like a rug, table and lamps. This was the hardest part, so I am THRILLED that the girls have made a decision and are happy.

More updates to come from this mom of two college girls.

Go Dawgs AND Rebels!
