Welcome to my newest baby, Dorm Room Chic! 

I am so excited to share this innovative product with you.  It was born in the time of one of the biggest transitions of my life as a parent.  I will never forget how unprepared I was (logistically and emotionally) when I took my one and only daughter and dropped her at UC Davis.  It was so bad, and she was as usual such a trooper.  I know it is hard to imagine, but there was no Amazon and I couldn't even get into the parking lot at the Target!  Everything was sold out.  I ugly cried on a 7 hour drive home, feeling I had abandoned her.  Dramatic, I know, but it really felt that way.  I had deep and meaningful cry session every day for weeks--especially when I was packing needed supplies up and shipping them to her.   Since that troubled day in 2004, I have helped countless friends and clients be a bit more prepared when their children head off into the future, always thinking, there has to be a better way to "package" these  moves.   By the way, when my beautiful mother took me off to college in 1982 it involved a trip to the hallway linen closet and a stop at Macy's to select a new comforter and pillow sham!  

When moved to a brand new coast from Los Angeles, CA (where I built my interior & staging brand) to beautiful Pennsylvania, I found myself surrounded by incredible universities and colleges.  I knew it was time.  I took a certification course in E-Design and learned how to build these shoppable Inspiration Boards and Dorm Room Chic (and Little Black Dress Rooms) was born!    Each Design Board comes with a dorm essentials board and list embedded with links everything from organization, accessories, comfort items and endless options.  There are even things that you haven't even thought of on our exhaustive lists.  It's a personalization menu; you choose the things you need and leave the rest, or come back to it when you are ready. 

I can't wait for you to see how easy we make this process.  Each of these $199 Shopping Ready Designs come with a gorgeous Inspiration Board, Designer Notes (with install instructions/order, hacks and tips) a completed budget and all the shopping links to click.  Once you purchase, you receive a Digital PDF download and can start shopping for your new room and all the things you need!  We have done all the design work and handled the countless hours of product sourcing.   (shopping for one item can take hours!)  We've read the reviews and hand selected each item, and because these are NOT affiliate links that pay us, we have selected the best products for you!  This matters so much to me, I even have a consulting Psychologist on my team, the incredible Dr. Mary Berge.  (I encourage you to check her out at www.Insightlabnow.com.  She is absolutely AMAZING.)  Your living environment truly affects your outward life and success in transitions, and that is the mission of Dorm Room Chic!  

There are customizing options in all of our Dorm Room Chic designs, and you have the luxury of ordering everything on your time frame, and using your credit card...get ready to rack up those miles and rebates for yourself!   You're going to love it!  We even offer online support and have a private Facebook community where our Dorm Room Chic clients can share, interact and ask questions.  

*If you want a bit more designer- hands-on approach for your project, you can upgrade into a more comprehensive/custom package, just ask. Custom rooms are available, on a limited basis.
