Trunk show

How do I even begin to say what a great trunk show we had for Dorm Suite Dorm? The girls that showed up were enthusiastic and ready to furnish their dorms! I loved seeing some new combinations and I can't wait to show you those as well! We had one girl show up and she was the most creative and we can't wait to work on it! This really affirmed that we are on the right track with Dorm Suite Dorm and what you girls are wanting. Do you have any different ideas? Then call us and we can help you with your choices ... 1-866-419-7005! We are waiting for you call!

How to make a dreamy dorm room!

How do you make those dingy cinder block walls dreamy? At Dorm Suite Dorm we have plenty of ideas! When you are moving in you have a blank slate so start at the bottom and move upwards. First, put a rug on the floor. Some colleges have companies to supply these for you before you move in, check with your housing department. Also available through some housing departments are risers to raise the bed up higher. Raise it up as high as you can and gain some very valuable space. If you raise it up high enough you can sometimes put your desk under there or extra seating. At Dorm Suite Dorm we can also make curtain panels for the lower half of this to make it like a small cozy living area. Next pick the most fabulous bedding from Dorm Suite Dorm to brighten up your very white walls. You can pick some pieces from last years groups or even better customize your own from our 50 fabrics! You will want at least 3 pillows for added comfort. The one area that is forgotten is the window because there are blinds usually there. At our model room we took those down and stored them in the back of the closet. We then used our tension rod and put some grommet curtain panels up. These have black out liners in them so you get great coverage from the sun! Now add your accessories to make your dorm feel like home. Add pictures of family and friends to your walls (the more wall you hide the better). You will also want a lamp on your bedside table or desk for studying by late at night. Your room mate will be glad you did so she can sleep!
We hope these ideas have helped you think of creating a very dreamy home away from home!

A great week!

What a great week we had at Dorm Suite Dorm. It wasn't just for the sales but also for the time spent with moms and their girls! I love the part of talking with the other moms out there and the way they are anxious about sending their girls off to school. I can partially appreciate this since my child will be going to school next year. The only difference is that my child is a boy. I also remember being the girl heading off to college and being so nieve. Bless you moms of the daughters.
We had a fun time designing several rooms for girls and their room mates. The pink and brown fabrics definetly won out this week. We have so many other options, please give them all a chance!
This week coming up we have another trunk show that we are very excited about! We will let you know how this goes and put some pictures out there.

New Dorm Room

We are setting up a new dorm room in my office to be used for photography. We painted the walls white! Yikes, I never thought I would paint a room white. But it is clean and refreshing as well. I am waiting for my bed at this time but it should be set up in the next month. It will be so nice and easy to set up each of the ideas and sets to show. We also designed 3 different rooms this week and you would think to put some of it together. I can't wait to show how you can really mix these fabrics up. As we design these we do offer extra details, you have to contact us for those details though. It is too hard to get everything on the website!

Break day yesterday!

Boy, I took a computer night off last night. Spent the night at a lacrosse game watching my boys.

We have been working on several new sets for the girls heading to college. The pink and brown has been the most popular so far. We also did the brown and white with a touch of turqoise. Last year the black and white was the most popular so it is good to see everyone trying everything this year.

Graduation is just around the corner and time to be thinking of getting something special for that graduate. Don't forget some of our great accessories. The dorm rooms don't come with a trash can so those have been great especially with the monograms to match the rooms! What about the survival kit? It has everything needed to hang art on those drab concrete walls!

Happy Easter

I was hoping to get my picture of the latest set on here today. But today is Easter and we had a great family day with extended family. I was unable to finish up the set so I will get the picture on here tomorrow.
I hope everyone has had a great holiday weekend.

working on a great looking set

I am currently working on a great looking duvet and pillow for a customer. I think I will start posting the pictures here as we are working on them. I will take a picture of this one tomorrow and get it on the site. I love this group because it is the brown and white but she has put it with turqoise. This way , even if you don't know your room mate yet, she can coordinate very easily. With this group you could use the brown and white and then add pink, green, yellow, lavender. How cool is that?

Last nights trunk show!

We had a great time at our trunk show last night. We had some really cute girls come to check out what they could do to make their room the dreamiest! Now, if I can do it I will add the pictures we took.

Trunk show tonight!

We had a great trunk show tonight at a local high school. We did this to help raise money for their year book. The girls were all so cute and excited to see the collections. They were all picking their favorite collection. We also explained about signing up for the registry and to become a suite mate. I will make sure we get some of the pictures on here.

The calm before the storm

Well, it is about to be Easter and then GRADUATION!!! The girls are definetly busy on our web site checking out what they can design! I love the new idea of letting you girls figure out your own room. You can coordinate and not be just like your roomie,if you don't like ruffles and she does you can pick your own look! You can both have the brown and one can have pink and one can have blue. How much easier can that be?
We are getting ready here at the office for all of the orders. Start making the orders and we are ready to make your DREAMS COME TRUE!

The calm before the storm

Is it Friday yet?!

OMG, it needs to be Friday! My website has gone down , and that is my life line to the girls who are looking at the bedding right now! I am so frustrated. This is my busiest time and I don't need this right now. We have so much momentum. We also had a trunk show for tonight but it was cancelled due to bad weather. Where is the bad weather? It isn't even raining! Why do schools and everything shut down at the thought of a storm? We have come a long way but with all the news now, they scare people too easily. I can't even sew since the serger is also not working well. At least I know the machine doctor will be here in the morning! I don't like not being able to sew or chat on the website with all the girls!

That is the life of being a business owner though. I guess I might have to actually relax tonight! How do you do that?
