Brown wrapping paper is a great way to wrap your presents this year. Plus brown craft paper is also easy to recycle. I didn't know this, but most traditional wrapping paper is non-recyclable. We all should do our part to produce less waste. This year consider looking for alternative ways to wrap your gifts. If you need some ideas, check out my post called Take the Wrapping Paper Out of Christmas: http://www.hlminteriordesign.com/wrapping-paper-out-of-christmas/. I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Holiday season.

A 1/2" 4x8 sheet of MDF would weight about 75 lbs. I agree the acoustic tile would be a lot easy to hang. I may try this idea out in my own home.

You could create large panels of MDF and put the wallpaper on that. Then hang them on the wall. Check out this post http://www.cre8tivedesignsinc.com/2012/02/easy-wallpaper-panel/

Grand Rapids is a great city. I was born and raised in GR and recently moved back to GR from living in Florida for 4 years. Grand Rapids everything. The only thing Florida up on GR is weather.

Dorm room can be very sterile environments. I not a good place you creative. And certainly not a place with a homie feel. There is a lot you can do to your new home away from home to show your personality and style. One idea is to create a floor rug with FLOR carpet tiles. I have a post with other dorm room decorating ideas on my blog, http://www.hlminteriordesign.com/dorm-room-decorating-ideas/.

As far as style goes, I love the wavy speaker face of the Jawbone Jambox. However, you can't beat the price of the Altec Lansing iM277 Orbit.

I love chocolate brown. I definitely think brown is a tried & true color. Brown is a well rounded color choice. It can be a good neutral tone or it can be an accent color. Brown can be combine with many other colors too. You simply can't go wrong with brown.
