must be nice being rich
You must not be well off financially. It doesn't take that much money to furnish a single bed room lol.
gurl were you not listening??? their dads BUILT those shelves, one of their moms refurbished that side table, those headboards look hella expensive, and those COMFORTERS and SHEET SETS??? not to mention the pillows and other trinkets and stuff lying everywhere! they seriously spent several hundred or close to a thousand on this dorm don't be delusional gurl these things cost money and no i'm not well off enough to waste that money on my dorm lol i got books to buy
Kade Hooper A thousand dollars is barely anything when it comes to furnishing. It costs tens of thousands of dollars to furnish an entire home. It's a good investment if having a nicely furnished room will improve their college experience.
Beth Ward Kade it cost to have a room like this, the headboards alone can run over 100 dollars hell even the bedding. My mother spent a couple hundred and our room was cute but it wasn't this cute so I know they spent a pretty penny
Beth Ward we're talking about college students here and everyone isn't privileged, some students can barely afford the necessities let alone having a lavish dorm room.
I love this. But you can tell these girls are RICH.
yeah.. im worried that they won't be able to adapt to adult life
When the girl say she was about to cry when she walked into the dorm, I did a huge facepalm...
The brunette actually has a UA-cam channel where she does thrift haul videos 🤣
They would not be staying in a dorm if they were rich...
Idk if they were freshman when this video was shot but they sounded like it from the way they she said she wanted to cry when she first walked in, but Ole Miss requires all freshman to be in a dorm (:
"Where are people suppose to sit, on the bed with you?" Well yeah....
Liv right.....
Well if you have lots of people you might not be able to fit all of them on your bed and don't wanna use your roommates bed without her permission.
Yeah I was looking like -_- that’s where they’ve been sitting for years in dorm rooms. A really ditzy comment lol
This is a matter of discretion and viewpoint. It falls more in the realm of people who wouldn't wear shoes in anyone's house and contaminate it with the dirt of the whole world or want shoes worn inside their own home. It's a big deal to those who have careful preferences. It's a dividing preference, to be sure. Those who don't mind are sharply unwelcome in the careful people's living spaces and the very careful are sharply unwelcome in the abodes where shoes are found on couches and bedding. It's like the dividing line between people who welcome cats on their kitchen counters and those who don't let cats and dogs inside. You like random others on your bed or you don't! We humans come in all flavors of careful or not careful.
Linda Sue Buehler I agree! I'm definitely of the "shoes off" variety lol. I know some folks would say I'm too picky, but my home is my sanctuary and I like for it to be treated as such 🙂
The nicest dorm I've ever seen. Fantastic job on decorating and good luck this year!
I decorated my dorm for under 200 dollars and here is how you can too!
ua-cam.com/video/q948bNP-jRA/v-deo.html
how ironic command stripping "REBELS' to the wall whilst talking about how you're a rule follower lmao
fatj0dy it's the school mascot
ah i was unaware of that hahah!
@fatj0dy; the rule would be no holes while hanging on the walls, the command strips allows her to enjoy the hanging without breaking the rule, this making her a rule follower ....
fatj0dy I was scrolling through the comments, didn't see this, went back to the video and came down to right this and was like oh
Their mascot is the rebels
literally 95% of the couch are pilows and 5% is for sitting
Ikr haha. They're cute, but you'd have to toss them off to sit haha
My jaw was on the floor! These girls need to start a business!
Cora LovesGlam you better pick it up then you need to call them asap! Maybe first customer?!
Amen to that
More like there parents lol
*their . . .
Cora LovesGlam right?! Beautiful...!
I clicked on this expecting super snobby rich girls. What I got was super creative, humble, and respectful young individuals.
Like I’m old, I’m 24 but still 😂 Beautiful dorm!
I'm a little late to this -- but I'm Abby (the blonde in the vid) and I wanted to say thank you for the positivity, it means a lot :)
Seems like a lot to only live somewhere for like 8 months
I imagine they're probably going to reuse all this stuff for next year, and the year after that. An undergraduate degree generally takes three or four years.
EmilyA1984 The problem is taking it down, storing it, transpo, unstoring it and putting it back up. Also, you don't usually have the same roommate year after year.
The expense isn't really big. It's the impracticality of it all. Most will end up in the school dumpsters where seasoned dumpster divers KNOW is where you get the good stuff at the end of the school year. Every school. Every year. Without fail.
I know--I went to university too, so I'm familiar with the process. However, most of the things those girls got, they got two of, so they can simply take what's theirs if they aren't roommates next year (and they could stay roommates if they requested each other). Also, a lot of those items (like the bedding, for example) could easily be used year-round (even just swapping out home bedding for dorm bedding, and vice versa, when one set is in the laundry), so there'd be no need to store them. Yes, some of the items are impractical, but how else will they learn? When I was in my first year of university, I spent an embarrassing amount of money on art-print posters at the campus poster sale. I thought I'd use them year after year, and I tried to, but they got ratty from sticky tack, from being rolled up and packed, stored, and brought out again, and another thing--sticky tack dries out, and gets dirty, and doesn't stay sticky for very long. So, more than once, I remember being awakened by posters falling on me in the middle of the night. Maybe I didn't spend as much money as those girls did (we're talking $40 or $50, maybe), but I made the same kind of mistake they did. Later on, I decided to take a painting class, so that way, I could get schoolwork done and decorate my apartment at the same time, and canvas paintings are much sturdier than posters.
@EmilyA1984; I hear ya' on the breakdown and carry, but it looks like they have really helpful dads, so they're good.
@ant sz; no, I don't they did it for the publicity. Its Southern Living giving them the exposure and the one girl only posted for her friends back in Illinois, that's when it caught fire because its so beautiful.
Adorable. Dorms are so much a part of your college experience. Nice to see young ladies taking the experience to heart.
If my freshman dorm looked like that, I would've never left for classes or any other commitments.
People are mad calling them rich when they said they found some of these things ugly and messed up but they fixed it, lol chill people and start being creative.
They bought the headboards, and the comforter, and the pillows. All that shit is expensive.
Breanna May Not true. I bought my comforter, sheets, and a few other thingd for college in fall of my senior year when everything was on sale. It was 60-70% off everything I bought.
OK and? How much did it cost?
Breanna May I got 3 sets of sheets, two for $3 and one for $5. My comforter was $20. I got a nice desk lamp for about $10 if I remember correctly, and we we saw carpets for $30 and below, but unfortunately none matched the comforter I chose.
Homegoods and Marshalls are great as well. You can get great deals there as well. I think the only thing we've spent full price on for my dorm was a drawer cart for my clothes, since my dorm doesn't supply dressers, and a decorative tapestry I bought with my own money.
Honestly, if you're smart about when and where you shop, you can have most of your dorm supplies for the cost of 1 Urban Outfitters or Pottery Barn comforter.
no one's got time for this when they have hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loans.
This got me thinking legally blonde!!! Can i hire you guys to decorate my room
Ashley Gibbs you can hire their parents and probably use their money while you’re at it.
lmao just because YOU lived in a crap dorm for 4 years doesn't mean you have to hate on what these girls did here. They are sweet and adorable and wanted their space to feel like home!
Julianne Collie IKR!
Mate nobody is hating on them. Also since when was being called rich considered “hate speech”.
I remember sitting in the lobby of an oil company in Midland, Texas back in the 80's during the boom. The owner's daughter was a receptionist getting ready to leave for college. She was on the phone, talking about how she had met her roommate and they were preparing to decorate their room in much the same fashion. I'm sure it was very nice.
Love this story, Shannon - thanks for sharing!
Southern Living missed the point....
Shannon omg I'm from odessa texas! Though we moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania!
Henshee Afaga I'm from Corpus Christi, Texas
Aeriana Corre cool
This is so beautiful! I wish they would decorate/ light up my dorm like this!! So chic and classy!
Ladies, this is GORGEOUS!!! I have two sons, so they are all about Star Wars and darker colors. I love seeing the "girly glam" look you have achieved. Brilliant job!
Actually, I have a (female) friend who made a beautiful Star Wars room in her house. :)
I'm a little late -- but I'm Abby (the blonde in the vid) and I wanted to say thank you SO much for the positivity :)
It must be nice having a roommate you get along with immediately-- would have never happened my first year!
These girls are adorable. Love love love them, love their style, and how humble they are ☺️
Aren't they cute?!
cloudzinmyize LOL aww, you're adorable
Thank you so much!! I'm 11 months late but I'm the brunette in the vid, haha creeping through the comments don't mind me :)
Lindy Goodson you guys did an amazing job! As a Southern gal myself, I know how important creating a beautiful living space is and major props to you ladies for doing such an awesome job on s budget!!
I am really late, but I'm Abby (the blonde in the video) and I wanted to say thank you so much for the sweet comment!
Such an inspiration to remodel a dorm room 🕊🦢🏫🤍
Honestly this is super cute. Forget the people hating, if you have a vision go for it. :)
0hSnapShesHonest thank you!! The hate on here is amazing. They should be inspired by this. Thank you for being a breath of fresh positive, classy air.
I'm 10 months late to this comment but thank you!!! I'm the brunette in this vid lol creeping through the comments
Lindy Goodson how did you guys get the beds to that height? I'm wanting to do something similar in my guest room!
0hSnapShesHonest there is nothing wrong with being rich...
Shawna Johnson hey girl!! The dorm beds were able to be raised to up to 33 inches. For a guest bed room though I’d recommend bed risers (sold at bed bath & beyond, Walmart, probably Amazon) you can get 6 inch risers and probably even taller! We loved the tall beds for storage - hope this helps! :)
Definitely love how they decided to really make it their own. But yes, in college dorms/apts, friends sit with you on your bed when you hang out. Yes, you're going to live in an ugly dorm that you need to make your home. Which these lovely ladies took to a whole other level. If you can afford to dress up your dorm the way these ladies did, great! Go for it! But if you can't, you can still make your dorm cozy in other little ways. I kind of liked the way dorms looked to be honest! So don't get depressed because you can't have a fancy room. It's ok! It's part of the experience. You won't be spending much time in your room anyway other than to study and sleep. I don't know if I'd be able to study in that room. While it's beautiful for sure, it's a tad cluttered. That couch area gave me anxiety.
Some people are hesitant to have friends on the beds due to personal space, not wanting to have them sit on roommates beds without permission, or due to code of conduct (some schools wont allow guests to sit or lie on the beds especially opposite sex)
Beautiful! But the thought of moving in a dorm every fall, then moving out the end of the school season and doing this 4 years straight. The though of set up and break down is crazy. They make it seem so simple when move in day and move out day is so chaotic.
Khessa Michelle Yeah. I think a lot of people in this comment section are wholly unfamiliar with college dorm life. They think it's an apartment they stay in continuously for 4 years with the same roommate. Little do they know. ..lol!
@Khessa Michele; I'm sure their dad's will pitch in again.
isnt that their problem?
It literally took me 4 hours to get my stuff out today and I didn't even have that much
The shoes one was a really good idea
Super clever! I already liked the stool idea, but to hold shoes - with the actual slots - is brilliant!
Gorgeous...can't wait for my daughter to start college as a crafter Mom, I'll be helping her decorate her room!
WOW! Fabulous!!!
I'm from Kentucky but I'm gonna grow up in Tennessee because that's where I'm living right now and I just love their accent
this is possibly one of the most beautiful and luxurious dorm rooms I've ever seen!! Shame you don't advise on London apartments!! Well done girls. Can't wait to see this autumn's dorm room.
What well raised composed young ladies.
I believe this will be a new trend, especially for female college students. They will feel more like there at home and wont be lonely so much while they are away at college. It raises their spirits, and do better at their studies.
i love the pillows with the design of their home states!!!!
So many people seem to be upset about the money they spent on their room and how they will have to deal with taking it all out and putting it all up again. Great to you all who feel that they would never spend money on something like that. What you all obviously didn't hear is that she said she felt if she was going to cry from seeing the cinder block walls and when I had to live in a dorm with walls like that it made me feel very uncomfortable. The reason for it all is so they feel comfortable in their room it doesn't matter if they'll be in the room all the time, its the fact when they are.
Hi I know I'm 7 months late but I'm creeping through the comments -- I am the brunette in this video and you're exactly right! Having a cozy room made me feel comfortable while being 6 hours away from home in a new state :) Thank you for watching!!
Lindy Goodson The room looked amazing. The room setup is so well thought out. Good job😊
2:01 who the hell has donuts sitting out without eating them all???
Blah Blah Blah I'm Tessa Brooks they were probably just to shoot the video lol
I'm the brunette in this video lol I know I'm 9 months late but I'm creeping through the comments and no worries we ate them all right after filming! haha I wish i was kidding
Lindy Goodson lol that’s too funny
@@the_real_lin_shady lmao true story
You ladies did a beautiful job. The headboards really make the room elegant
So creative for these young women just entering college! 👏🏼
Great job girls! I love how each of you applied particle tips to almost every space and item in your dorm room creating an amazing space on a budget. Yet, creating a master piece charm everyones to be talking about!
Leave those girls alone. That room is beautiful. You both have a great design eye. :) I wish you luck at school!
FANTASTIC! Made your mama's proud!
Super cute! Definitely more home feel then what it was before. It was so cold and dirty looking now it's beautiful and probably easier to study. Great job girls
So awesome!!
This is so Blair Waldorf inspired
I love their decoration!!!
These girls are soo talented!!!
I think you girls with the help of family members did an excellent job!!!! Good luck on your next journey in life but remember to have fun.
I love it! It's so classy and functional. I love the DIY projects. Very creative! You girls and your southern accents are so adorable!
I'm sorry I'm really late to this -- but I'm the blonde in the video and I wanted to thank you for the positive comment :)
Abby Bozeman As a mid-westerner, I admire the southern hospitality southern girls pull off. I really should visit the Deep South more!
I hope these two young ladies started a design company for dorms. Great job ladies! Very creative!
Beautiful dorm!
I couldn't do that... Be so comfortable I'd fall asleep just from walking in... I'd never get any work done 😂
It's nice to see these young girls in such a lovely and cozy room. I hope they live happily ever after wherever they may be. :-D
I can't even afford Christmas lights for my dorm...🙃
Edit: can afford them. issa joke...
its less than 10 dollars..
Speechless
Gorgeous southern charm and class. 💗
Gorgeous! I'm sure it cost a little more but not expensive and definitely classy. Way to up cycle and create a beautiful space!
If these two start a design business I'll call them when I get my own place. It looks great
you can tell some people are jealous just by looking at the comments😂
That is awesome!
Awesome remodel/redecorating job!!!!
Thank you.
GREAT JOB TEAM!
So... Um... Why is youtube recommending me another random video after 3 yrs ... That I totally care abt..
They did an amazing job!
Really beautiful ladies!
Wish I was rich enough to decorate my room like this...
So much better than my dorm room. Great job!
Absolutely beautiful!
Damn rich people
Xaoi Gay yeah rich people buy at thrift stores and garage sales
having volunteered at a thrift store, you'd be surprised at how many rich people come in izz camera roll. especially if the store location is in a rich neighbourhood
idiot, try thrifting
Alex xelA lmaoo
Xaoi Gay there's nothing wrong with being rich
Beautiful job ladies!!
I love their accents! So southern! I'm from Canada, so all I have is scented money. 🙃
This past summer my high school cheer camp was at ole miss and the dorms were the most uncomforting thing. They gave off really down in the dumps vibes. Living in there for 3 days was too much for me but you guys did such an amazing job making it look so glam... compared to what it was before...
This is lit, My mom is doing the most for my dorm room BCU bound Bethune Cookman University, and trust me she's not spending hardly anything but my room going to be fire, gotta ball on a budget, in her words.
LMAO the irony of the girl wearing a "rebel" Tshirt saying she can't do without comfort and creates a home decor of a homy palace bahaha
constanzelabest 🙄 Good grief, they are the Ole Miss Rebels! She's supporting her school!
still looks ridiculous!
Scarlett Whisperer ASMR bless your little heart
constanzelabest Your jealousy is showing and it’s not a good look.
constanzelabest You do realize that’s the school mascot? SMDH!!!
Dorm rooms give me the sads so I get it. I didn’t move away to college because of instant depression that set in from spending one night in a dorm. I made sure to clean and make my daughter’s dorm room and bathroom more like a home for her.
I love it! Great taste.
Alright Illinois Girls! My dorm was awesome too after I put my touches on it❤ Great Job!
Wow they really transformed the entire room! While the headboards and bedding were probably quite expensive it sounds like they also included a lot of diy stuff. With a little work and creativity you can make some beautiful items for a decent price. This is some good inspiration for dorm decorating.
Soooooo fleek on fly! Love it💚💕
The comments I see are mostly yall calling them out for being rich, yet a middle class person like myself got similar stuff from At Home and made a Shabby Chic room from scratch, minus the thrifted items I got. Its not always about being rich guys. They are just two girls wanting to express themselves. I really like what they did with the colors and layout. Its not only aesthetically pleasing, but its functional. You are just showing your jealousy because you think you can never create something as beautiful as they did. Which is wrong. We all can in our own unique ways and in our own styles. It just takes a lot of thinking and planning as they said. And yes, they did say that their parents helped them. I really don't think that they are some snobby college girls like everyone stereotypes them as. Honestly its really stupid to label them that in the first place. You should be grateful to even have a roof over your head and all the superfluous objects in it. You should be grateful to even have a car at all. It all could be destroyed the next day, so its good to be grateful and not complain about these supposed "rich" girls. I have some family who are more well off than I am. Do I complain? No, because they worked hard to earn their way to where they are now. And I am not rich whatsoever. I work to earn my own money. They raised us to not mooch off of other people. And these girls are earning their way into the world. So stop being jealous and be thankful for the things you already have.
Your room is soo beautiful!
It looks amazing girls!
Love it! So creative and you can do it on a budget! Go Phi Mu!
Wow at this comment section. It's just an amazing dorm room y'all. It's got ZERO to do with race.
CocktailsMakeupandLife Girl. I live in Alabama. That aesthetic and dorm style is VERY southern white girl. 😂
This is literally the best form room make over u have ever seen! Better than the professionals! Gitlsceeffo do This! X
Dang girls! Awesome job.
all i head from this was “my parents are loaded, my parents are loaded, my parents are loaded”
Laila Nicole actually it can be very cheap if you got most of the things as presents from family friends and buy the rest plus it's homie and you don't want it to be plain
Laila Nicole you're really pretty!!
kiki yon well, they stated in the video that they got stuff at thrift stores and vintage stores and redecorated it, so they didn’t really spend loads of money.
U can really achieve this look by been on a budget and refurbishing things. Its not that hard to make things look expensive.
Gaming Withjaz the one girl is wearing pearls around her wrist & both girls are wearing a decent amount of jewelry for a not special occasion, real or not, people that aren’t rich don’t do that just for a video
This is just an awesome comfort 👀
SO PRETTY!!
Don't y'all know it's a Southern thing! We are all about PRETTY!
this is gorgeous!😍
THATS A DORM wowoowowowowoowowoow good job !
Dorm room goals!!!!!
goals
I love what they did. You can do it a lot cheaper, it just takes vision and a little shopping around. Don't hate, appreciate!
YAS!!! MISSISSIPPI!!!!!!
Amazing what these girls did with that little space. And it seems like their families mad sure if they got something for their daughter they got for the roommate like ottomans it is amazing..
Y'all can get an interior design service done seriously !! I'd never think this was a dorm room
I'm sorry I am a little late -- but I'm Abby (the blonde in the vid) and I wanted to say thank you for the positivity :)
I love it
Nice work, girls!
Me in the UK sitting in my private accommodation with my own bathroom, and a kitchen and social area to use whenever I want watching this. 👀
I mean I don't see why people think the dorms are horrible. By the way people were describing it I was expecting to come into a dirty dorm with a mattress that's stain covered with rips and holes and the mattress integrity have been lost. But my dorm room I walked into, looked very similar to their before, and I was pleasantly surprised and I haven't done much to it, just just a sheet on, have a blanket, got a pillow for sleeping and have a nice chair that folds away easily and is very comfortable. Also bought a mini fridge and microwave. But that's it, it feels fine to me and it's quite comfortable here.
Ahh soo nicee
Loved it! It'd be cool if you guys knew one of my old classmates lol Melody she a freshmen there too!
