This quilt is what I took to Dordt College 31 years ago. I sewed it in my Home Ec III class when I was a senior in high school. I also took a hot pot (not pot, like drugs, but rather an electric pot to boil water for hot cocoa in my dorm room). I packed up my fitted sheet, quilt, hot pot, the three towels I got for graduation gifts, family photos, a few school supplies and headed out to college. When I got there I went behind the grocery store and "borrowed" milk crates for a storage system.
The glossy catalog also had every electronic gadget you could dream of owning. We had one tv in the dorm basement, no tv's were allowed in our rooms. Good grief!
*Please note that I realize this post makes me sound old, but times have sure changed.

I still have my Wells Blue Bunny milk crates...nothin' wrong with them, very sturdy.
At Northwestern, we were allowed to have a TV in our dorm room...things sure changed in the next decade. :) We didn't miss an episode of "Days of Our Lives".
We are so old!
Do you think I could do the dorm look as a design scheme in my bedroom? I think it may work. It may be more like a military/book-worm theme...I am thinking about it...
I will keep you updated.
I love the pics. I could live with that. Maybe not quite so many gadgets though.
I hear there is a round-up of milk crate thieves in the midwest...good thing you're covered by the statute of limitations.
Amen to this! I had country blue milk crate shelves (that sagged) and hand-me down bedding. Sheeze, these 'dorm rooms' are nicer than my house. :)
