So we don't have much room in our dorm as already discussed, but making it feel like a home instead of a room is really important to me and Roomie. My roommate has put her faith in me to come up with a "style plan" so whenever I get board I work a little on it. I have been looking for furniture for the dorm. We are going with a kinda of boho/artsy vibe allowing us to pick up things from yard sales and call it decor. Unfortunately our budget (like most college students) is almost non existent. But to seemingly counteract that I come from a family that never gets rid of anything. So as I was looking for a couch or maybe some chairs I stumbled upon the philosophy of double dipping.
I guess I never really considered that things having more than one purpose could save a ton of space. And the less space taken up by things the more space I have to put sewing supplies. After taking this philosophy to heart I decided no chairs. We need a sofa (a small one at that). Then I saw the coolest thing it was a love seat that would fit under one of our lofted beds but it also folded the down to make a makeshift bed. Unfortunately I was put off by the price ($65 at a garage sale). Luckily it sold later that day and as I was kicking myself for not buying it my mother came to the rescue.
I was Informed that my grammy had a similar love-seat sleeper and I could probably have it if I wanted. I rejoiced at the idea of free stuff! So looks like we will be getting a orange love-seat sleeper! I will post pictures as soon as I get them!
