Ok, so as you may know, I just moved into my on-campus housing this past weekend. I have to confess, I sort of feel like I'm regressing a little bit; my room definitely has an undergrad dorm room feel to it. Ugly furniture, twin bed, blank beige walls, institutional lighting. Yuck. I've made some feeble attempts to give it some color and character (translation: I bought a comforter for my bed. not really an earth-shattering addition) but I seriously need to access my inner HGTV design diva and give this room a makeover.
Part of the problem is that I'm hesitant to buy a lot of furniture and stuff--I already have a bunch of apartment accessories, since I lived in Delawhere for 2 years. The thing is that a lot of it is at my parents' place, and I'm having a hard time getting it up to New York. In the meantime, I had a somewhat brilliant idea:
One perk of being a TC student is that you can get a sticker for your school ID that gets you into all the NYC museums for free. I KNOW! How awesome is that? So here's what I'm thinking--I want to hit up a few places that I've been dying to go to (The MoMA, The Met, The Guggenheim) and at each place I'll buy a poster of a painting that I saw that day that I liked. I'll get cheap frames for them, and stick the posters up on my wall. Cool, right? Right? Guys?
...Look, I'm working on a limited budget and an even more limited sense of style and interior decorating skills. This is all I got. Work with me, people.
I love the idea! Stylish and intellectual at the same time.
