How to furnish your dorm room

Before picture.  Bed, desk, two chairs, bookcase, dresser, freshman.

Add one area rug.

Add one Puzzles and Dragon wall hanging (adhered with "Fun Tak").

Add "Campus Value Pak" linens and towels, large stuffed bear.  Add computer and snacks.

It is now easier than ever to furnish a dorm room.  Your college directs you to a online shopping site (in our case, Campus Market) and you buy a "Value Pak" of everything a college student could possibly want.  We got the "Complete Campus Value Pak" with two complete changes of linens in two coordinating colors, towels, "fluffy" pillows, blankets, pop-open hamper, a "bedside buddy" and more. We also added in an area rug to avoid cold feet and a heavy duty storage trunk with wheels.  The storage trunk also doubles as a coffee table and seat. So handy! And last, we plopped the large stuffed bear on the bed. If he's forgotten anything, the orientation team has arranged a special midnight run to the local Fred Meyer's.
