Finished putting up my prints wall! It’s so fun to look at!! O: It’s such a good feeling to be surrounded by things I like. I’m going to be so sad when I have to take it all down.

Anonymous asked: I actually have another question about the christmas lights! How do you hang them up without screwing anything into the wall??

I suppose you could tape them if they’re not too heavy, or use adhesive wall clips like a command hook.

Anonymous asked: Hi! I find your blog so helpful, it's wonderful! I noticed a lot of rooms have Christmas lights. Do you have to buy a special kind of indoor set to do that? And where could I buy a set operated by batteries?

The difference between indoor and outdoor string lights is that outdoor lights are made to withstand harsher weather conditions than indoor lights.  Any old string of lights that you use to decorate your tree with will generally be okay to hang up in a dorm as long as you take certain precautions, like turning them off when you leave the room and not lighting them right next to a pile of sawdust.  The best type of string lights you could get would be LED lights: they generate less heat so they’re safer to use and they’re more energy efficient than traditional lights! You can find some battery powered ones online here! (I’m not affiliated with said webstore btw).

Thanks so much!

And I might was well use this moment to also thank everyone who has submitted their pictures to the blog!  There’s very limited good dorm pics out there on the web, I don’t know where this blog would be without our submissions :)
