I started embracing a minimalist lifestyle my second year of college. My GPA went from a 2.3 to a 3.5 in one semester. That's my tip for anyone in college. You have so much going on between classes, work and homework. Anything that streamlines your life and makes things easier is priceless. Learn to live with less. You'll have that much less to worry about.
I was just thinking about that, that's one issue I have with all these makeovers, they add SO much to the room. Even their minimalist makeover was so maximalist. I love the whole look though, they're really cool but I'd appreciate some more actual minimalist makeovers
Omg ive used the 3m hooks to hang my curtain rods before. followed directions and gave myself a heartattack when they came crashing down at 3 in the morning. paint n all.
I think its really cool that you guys created a website to sell the things you found at a thrift store. HOWEVER, I find it a little grotesque to see the prices for the items we know you bought for dirt cheap. Why is the wire grid damn near $30 on your website? And the tapestry $50? That's just too much in my opinion..
Because girls gotta eat. They have to cover cost of item, cost of shipping, the time they invest in finding the items and a little for profit. Plus I've noticed that Canadian thrift prices, even when adjusted for conversion, are much more expensive than US prices. Ita weird.
omg yes you're actually doing a dorm makeover in an actual dorm!! so many youtubers do it in a big room that is no where near the actual size of a dorm room
My love for this channel just grew so much. Unlike most dorm room decor guides yours was actually in style, affordable and dorm friendly!! Thank you so much
I went to two colleges and both of them banned us from hanging large things on the walls and ceilings. I would recommend not buying too much decor stuff until you ACTUALLY get to your dorm. you don't really know what you'll need until then.
If you re in a hurry and trip over the wire basket thing on the floor, your mirror and light are going to fall. So I 'm not sure it's that stable, but it does look cool.
WISH I were this talented when I decorated my dorm room! I'm so impressed that you both gave so much thought into how to make this affordable! Absolutely loved this video and I'm gonna share it to all my subscribers
Even though I'm way out of college I love the room makeover videos. But I'm seriously impressed you did a dorm room makeover that actually would be affordable for a student. It looks great
Yeah of course, I doubt anyone is going to attempt to replicate the entire room and everything within. It's a show room, show rooms are never practical. They serve the our posing of showcasing many items for inspiration. Your comment was unnecessary
+Eve Leman your comment was unnecessary everyone can have there opinion if someone loves this room they will recreate it all exactly some people just like simple. No need to be rude
Love this makeover! I'm a second year student at Humber Lakeshore and your success on TH-cam as Humber Alumni is really inspiring to me. Keep shining! Also, lovin' the Hawks pride on the Cinema sign, gotta represent ;)
minionsforlife why would you need a survival kit for middle school ..? It's literally middle school. Wtf lol. Just make sure you keep pads/tampons, lotion, and your homework/school supplies lmao it ain't that difficult
I loved the idea of using a copper rod and command hooks to hang white curtains. A mirror on top of a wire basket is great storage and use of vertical space. Thanks for the inexpensive decor ideas for an apartment and a dorm.
I love you guys sense of decoration. Most of the spaces you work with have beautiful natural lighting. I would like to see what you can create with little to no lighting.
this is so cute, i love it when you guys do home decor! my fav dorm trick is hanging up those christmas-y string lights, they're cheap and super cozy feeling :)
Love the canopy effect the curtains & tapestry give the bed!!! Legit going to have to find some curtains an a tapestry to re-create it in my apartment.
Don't expect to be able to hang anything to the ceiling like this! It may be cute, but it's a fire hazard and most college don't allow it! My bets tip is to buy a small cube shelf, six cubes, and bring your bed up if it has lofting equipment. Mine wasn't fully lofted, just enough that my dresser and my cube shelf (which I used for shoes and three fabric boxes of socks, underwear, etc.) can fit underneath the bed.
In my student apartment, I also had a small kitchen. To make my apartment more my own, I changed the handles on the kitchen cabinets + my wardrobe from the old, ugly ones to some fresh ones from IKEA. Looked a lot better, was super cheap, didn't leave any marks and of course I kept the old ones and put them back before I moved out. Super simple.
this is literally my favorite room makeover video on youtube!! this is SO cute and fancy! i have a small room my self so i’m gonna try some of these things! i love how almost everything is a diy! keep up the good work! can you do a “small room makeover” video? i would love to see more ideas for my room!!❤️❤️
Omg you guys...this dorm room is so classy...loved it...especially that you DIYed most of the things and used thrift store items...mahn,you guys are literally, the life saver...love you guys... Love from India...
I'm not I'm college yet, but my room is super small and I'm on a small budget so these videos are super helpful! Keep doing this, even when it's not just for college please!!
Wow you guys are amazing! Very creative and very unique. I have a questions, where do you get the copper pipes. (the thrift store or the craft store or maybe the DIY stores)
Honestly love. Can you do a DIY makeup storage??? I want to make something for my new college apartment and have been so inspired by this video. I want more 😍
i hate how do described a capsule wardrobe as trendy or sth like that capsule wardrobes aren't about being trendy ,it's about minimalism and thinking about your relationship to fast fashion
It doesn't matter if someone starts a capsule wardrobe because they heard the word trend or not, they're still contributing to less resources used and less slave labor, and all the other great things that come from a capsule wardrobe
am i the only person who didnt find this helpful? like it started out cute but then you added all your "diys" without showing how to make them and it was basically just a 10 minutes video on how to use command hooks.
Oh my gosh the mirror just stacked like that made me so anxious

I can already feel that mirror falling over
Omg ive used the 3m hooks to hang my curtain rods before. followed directions and gave myself a heartattack when they came crashing down at 3 in the morning. paint n all.
Mine actually said it cannot be used on painted walls. I only put it on my door.
Just do tons of college videos please! You make really great quality videos and they are an tally helpful and very informative!! Thank you!
Yes, i agree! I'm entering college woohoo! :)
totally!
+From Kat i am entering college this year, too
Right! I'm only in secondary school and I'm so excited for uni it's unhealthy

Laura Rovetti Redmond?

omg yes you're actually doing a dorm makeover in an actual dorm!! so many youtubers do it in a big room that is no where near the actual size of a dorm room
My love for this channel just grew so much. Unlike most dorm room decor guides yours was actually in style, affordable and dorm friendly!! Thank you so much
This is one of the nicest dorm rooms I've ever seen even without all of the stuff you girls added, super cute!
Wow... that was INCREDIBLE!!!!
Hey!! Can you do a unisex master bedroom please 😩 the struggle is real (getting married next month need some ideas)
That's an awesome idea. I'd love to see that too!
That would be fantastic since my husband and I absolutely suck at decoration XD
Aww congrats!!
Girl, I feel you. I've been married just over a year and our room still looks like a boy-girl Frankenstein nightmare.
+erotic bandaid thank you!!
I went to two colleges and both of them banned us from hanging large things on the walls and ceilings.

In the big picture, this room feels like too much clutter to me, but you have definitely used some cool idea's here.
Yeah of course, I doubt anyone is going to attempt to replicate the entire room and everything within. It's a show room, show rooms are never practical. They serve the our posing of showcasing many items for inspiration. Your comment was unnecessary
+Eve Leman your comment was unnecessary everyone can have there opinion if someone loves this room they will recreate it all exactly some people just like simple. No need to be rude
FakeSun96 o totally agree
Kerensa Richards if someone liked simple (aka boring) they wouldn't be on a design channel in the first place 🙄
Eve Leman Leman you were just unnecessary to say that everyone has an opinion so shut up u have yours that person has theirs just seriously (idiot)
It's so refreshing to see an honest dorm room makeover! Wish I had this video before I went to school!
Love this makeover! I'm a second year student at Humber Lakeshore and your success on TH-cam as Humber Alumni is really inspiring to me. Keep shining!
Also, lovin' the Hawks pride on the Cinema sign, gotta represent ;)
Awh you're so sweet! Best of luck with your studies!!
+TheSorryGirls you should do a how to survive middle school and a survivle kit please
minionsforlife why would you need a survival kit for middle school ..? It's literally middle school. Wtf lol. Just make sure you keep pads/tampons, lotion, and your homework/school supplies lmao it ain't that difficult
this is by far one of the most creative dorm room tutorials i've ever seen!! kudos to you two!!
aaaah i love what you did with this dorm room! too cute!
omg femkeeej, nooit gedacht je hier te zien ❤
Same! Also ideas for small rooms
it's literally the perfect aesthetic 😭🌿
I loved the idea of using a copper rod and command hooks to hang white curtains. A mirror on top of a wire basket is great storage and use of vertical space. Thanks for the inexpensive decor ideas for an apartment and a dorm.
This is so ultra cute! One, makes me want to go back to school and two, I have the same measuring tape.
twinning!!
I wish you ended these videos with how much in total you spent on the design.
That would be extremely helpful! Especially when you're broke.
I wish they'd turned the neon sign on (again!!!)
I'm going to use most of these tips for my apartment love the feel and the overall look
I love you guys sense of decoration. Most of the spaces you work with have beautiful natural lighting. I would like to see what you can create with little to no lighting.
Becky: "Everybody's favorite..."
Me:"... Day of the week! The day we ask ourselves does this thing really work?"
Only me?
Bunnyyyyy❤️

Nope, not just you! BUNNY!

I don't think those command hooks are strong enough
me.
this is so cute, i love it when you guys do home decor! my fav dorm trick is hanging up those christmas-y string lights, they're cheap and super cozy feeling :)
Amazing decorating!
The hooks to hang the curtain rod is so genius! Thank you!!
Awkward moment when all those hooks suddenly fall off during the night.
I'll have a heart attack XD
Oh yes, that was my first thought as well XD
@Taylor and then they fall again, vut faster, because the sticky has worn off a bit.
Taylor Why are you being so rude about it?- There’s nicer ways to approach someone.
Love the canopy effect the curtains & tapestry give the bed!!! Legit going to have to find some curtains an a tapestry to re-create it in my apartment.
Where were you two when I was in college?! LOL. Great job decorating the space! I love it
The curtain and tapestry combo is soo cute! Definitely going to that in two weeks on move in day!
This is everything I needed and more.😍❤️
I love it how you guys made every single element a DIY. This is so amazing! Thanks a lot!
This dorm room is HUGE!
Just love the cost effectiveness of each n every idea! Great job girls!!very very inspiring!!

Just a warning that some electrical tape can leave a really sticky and oily residue when it's peeled up.
+verpixxxelt Not washi tape.
+
Use Washi tape instead
6:16 The way they put the tape crosses on the wardrobe made it so that you couldn't actually open the doors...
Why can you not like more than one time?! I LOVED this!!!
y'all are so under rated!!!!
This is absolute perfection girls! You never cease to amaze me!
Notification squad where u guys at 🙌🏽
Whooop Whooop
+Megan herreee
The squad who'se notifications are late
+Art Victim hahha so Tru doe

Could you do a thrift flip for back to school please? ❤️ the videos
ouuu good idea!!!!!
One of my favorite dorm diys I've ever seen.

Omg you guys...this dorm room is so classy...loved it...especially that you DIYed most of the things and used thrift store items...mahn,you guys are literally, the life saver...love you guys...

You're going to love it!

So cute! I'm moving into a different bedroom in my apartment, and THANK GOODNESS because I can decorate again!
This is like my fifth time watching this and I not even in college lol
I'm not I'm college yet, but my room is super small and I'm on a small budget so these videos are super helpful! Keep doing this, even when it's not just for college please!!
Awesome ♥
I'll be moving into my dorm in two weeks and this is so helpful!! Thank you so much for these amazing ideas! And for keeping it affordable!
Could you guys design a room with a bunk bed?
You girls are really good and down to heart, you're totally getting the million subscriber play button really soon
Wow you guys are amazing! Very creative and very unique. I have a questions, where do you get the copper pipes. (the thrift store or the craft store or maybe the DIY stores)
You get them in the plumbing section of the hardware store like Home Depot, Lowes, etc! :)
Katie Bookser Thanks so much!
That hack for hanging the tapestry on the ceiling is AMAZING. I'm graduating this semester but.... I'm still gonna do that haha.
I love this wow! Too bad my dorm is a double :(
So I'm moving rooms in my house and I want my new room to be aesthetically pleasing so I plan on making these DIYs. Thanks so much!!!
I've never seen a dorm room this nice or big lmao
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. IM MOVING IN MY DORM IN A MONTH AND IM LOST AF HOW I WANT TO DECORATE IT. I AM DEFINITELY INSPIRED NOW!
can you do one for two people dorms?
Honestly love. Can you do a DIY makeup storage??? I want to make something for my new college apartment and have been so inspired by this video. I want more 😍
What type of hook did you use to hang the light from the ceiling, will it leave marks or is it the same sticky hooks.
Sticky hooks! It was specifically these ones because the silver part can swivel making it better for the ceiling! rstyle.me/n/bvwny2b69f7
+TheSorryGirls thanks
Wow this is so simple yet makes such a big impact!!!
i hate how do described a capsule wardrobe as trendy or sth like that
capsule wardrobes aren't about being trendy ,it's about minimalism and thinking about your relationship to fast fashion
*you
It doesn't matter if someone starts a capsule wardrobe because they heard the word trend or not, they're still contributing to less resources used and less slave labor, and all the other great things that come from a capsule wardrobe
@@susiiib2286 not really. The people doing it for the trend are just buying brand new capsule wardrobes every few months.
IN LOVE WITH THIS VIDEO!
I'm so happy you guys actually did this in a real dorm room. :D
can you please come to my dorm and make it over :)))) ahaha this is amazing
Seriously these girls are angels on earth!!!!
You could put like makeup or hair stuff in the bin under the mirror.
That would work out perfectly!
Wow! Ladies this is beautiful. I want all of this for my bedroom!
wwoooooowww amazing
I love the canopy feeling of the curtains with the tapestry! Also I just made the copper necklace holder and its amazing! :)
all that maths just to aline some triangles? I would just messily put them on in any order
sameeeee
This video literally gave me life! Everything is so easy and affordable too! I need to find myself a cute tapestry asap!!
wait but copper pipes are way more expensive than curtain rods.?
Rhiannon Johnson That was my thought!
Rhiannon Johnson that's why she said she already had them. It was somewhere on the screen
This is great! I love the idea of a tapestry from the ceiling!!
I clicked on this video so fast my hand was a blur
Oh my gosh, you girls are fantastic! Absolutely in love with this !!!
SAYING "In right now" IS NOT IN RIGHT NOW!!!!!
i want to live in that dorm...you guys are so creative and talented. im love with this make over...amazing.
am i the only person who didnt find this helpful? like it started out cute but then you added all your "diys" without showing how to make them and it was basically just a 10 minutes video on how to use command hooks.
margaret true
I think the blanket thing on top of the bed brings everything together
