Being a highly transient college student, there's not much of an incentive for me to decorate my room with the thought that it will be a short while before I have to un-decorate my room and move somewhere else.
Despite this, I still want to find some way to decorate my room and make it seem more home like. I even consider Austin my home now even though I don't have a permanent home within the city.I've been needing a new duvet or quilt for a while because my current one doesn't keep me warm enough. I found that it's also a good opportunity to get something that my mom didn't pick out. It could add some color to my room which has white walls with a light gray quilt.
I've been looking at Urban Outfitters for something a little funky and found the quilt to the right at $120. It seems like a lot, but I was going to get a duvet cover at $68 I needed a duvet ~$40...notice how it adds up? I figured, what the heck, I'll get it, but I was also questioning if the brand had influencing factors. My sister suggest I look at Overstock.com and a lot of the quilts and covers they had came in sets and it all seemed too mat-chy-mat-chy. I looked them over a second time with the thought that I could just not use the pillow shams, but it just made me realize that I'm really not fond of the patterns and their use of color, the color is either so pale that it blends in with my walls or I just don't like the color and it doesn't allow for much original coordination on my part.
I remember when I was younger, my mom would always tell me to clean my room. My sister would tell me just to fix the bed since it takes up a lot of space and it'll make all the difference. While I say I don't have the time to decorate, I do have the time to make my bed.
