diva-licious dorm decor

What did your dorm room look like when you were in college?  What type of theme did you go for?  Did you have a coordinating color scheme with your roomies?  Um, yeah.  Me neither.  Living in a quad my freshman year, four people coming together was a mish-mash of crap, all thrown together in one tiny room in hopes that we all won't kill each other and we pass with flying colors and return the next year as sophomores.  It seems a little different nowadays in regards to dorm room style.  There seems to be a little more attention drawn towards college comfort.  The coolest of dorm decor can now be found (very affordably) at stores like Target, Kohls, etc., and maybe a little more on the pricey side from PBdorm, a spin-off site from PBteen that I just discovered.  It seems a little over the top to me, but hey, more power to ya if you can afford the luxuries of Pottery Barn for your kids dorm rooms (and yes parents, I mean you since the kids are definitely not the ones paying for their dorm decor......hello?  everyone knows that all college students are super poor).  The room inspirations from PBdorm are so comfy and stylish, I only dreamt of a room this...

The offerings from PBdorm are a college student's fantasy.  I can just hear the conversations now...
