Ella Fitzgerald, the 'Chocolat' soundtrack, the Decemberists.

I like chalkboard paint in small doses--enough for a small wall or space. Of course, I also like lists and doodling.

I love this one--it's sophisticated but fun. And I'm a huge fan of the Neko Case poster!

My first thought upon seeing these would not be sea creatures at all. The orange chair looks like it's made of Cheetos.

Although I definitely agree that college students should focus on not spending a lot to buy ridiculous plastic furniture/accessories, I do think it's nice to have a cozy dorm room. You're away from...

Love the chair from #4. It makes me want to curl up with some classic novel.

Love #4--it's so serene!

This looks lovely! It would make the perfect weekend getaway.

I love the bathroom! So bright and clean. And the backyard looks perfect for parties.

Thanks so much for the tips! I'm sure I would have forgotten at least one of these steps.

Man, I am so jealous. These are amazing!

I love that this isn't a typical pastel-colored nursery. This green is lovely!

I absolutely love this house. If they ever decide to move, I am hoping on this one.
