I graduated college years ago.

This list consisted of things that I would imagine students of today would need on top of what I know I purchased when I went to college.

If there is something that I missed or something that would be considered quite outdated please let me know.

Thanks for Reading!

Design Idea for a Teenager

In just surfing the net I found this link. I am so happy because it really has some great ideas out there to really get your mind going.


Option #1
I love this design.
From experience I can tell that this is technically for a cozy sized room but the color allows for light and freshness in the room.

I feel that with the color of the room a mind can flow into thoughts with out a color to cause distraction, too much alertness, or too calm.

The placement of the computer and study station is perfect where the sun is hitting the lighting perfectly.

Although this may be an illusion the table itself is simple. Something that with the perfect touch could be created by hand very affordably.

Also the book case storage is something that would be easy to create as well.

Options #2


I am not so much of  a fan for the color scheme chosen for this design.

I am a fan of the raised day bed, for extra storage.

I love the privacy of the study area and I love the closet nice in high for maximum storage.

Option #3

I love the closet, leave no space for clutter because of the max storage space.

The closet is literally the mantra of the whole room.

We would need to be careful just how much space this closet would take.

Too much?

I choose this one because of the pull out bed which would be a nice factor but the steps and everything might just be a little too much.

What do you think?

If you are comfortable with sleeping on  top of a bunk bed this might really be an options because this is really taking advance of space.

But may I ask why so many Disney posters?

Maybe this theme? Navy with a gamer vibe.

Well tell me if any of these stood out. If we are on the right path of if we are so off that we have to talk about this.




Well Hello There

I will save this post  for later
