You will be getting calls from every colleges all around the nation to plan and decorate dorm rooms!!!!! This is spectacular!!!! You are truly gifted and it will surely open BIG doors for you and usher you in the presence of greatness!!!!
+Living Luxuriously for Less Thank you so much! This has been such a blessed and beautiful journey. We had such a blast that day. It was a lot of work but fun at the same time. We will remember this day always. The picture was perfect Melanie!!!! Thank you so so much my friend! Hugs. Nik
I think they hid the original desk under the bed (why they had to raise the bed up). I'm pretty sure the bed frame is the original and they put risers underneath.
More than likely they had building services pick it up. Many schools have a storage area with extra dorm furniture in case something gets broken or damaged.
once again Nikki you did a fabulous job !!! I bet it was kinda of a little sad seening your baby going off to College but how so very proud mama you must be... and your daughters room looks Fabulous !!! when she walks in her room it's like having a piece of home that mama created for her... What a Blessing
It looked like it couldn't have gone any smoother. Many hands make for light work my grandma use to say. I was so impressed by how each person had their job to do and you finished so quickly. The room is beautiful ! You have such a lovely family. Have a wonderful year Jewel !
+dottie b Thank you so much Dottie! You are so right. They really all came together to make this day fun and run so smoothly. I am so happy that Jewel loves the space and is now in college and ready to roll! I am so happy I was able to share the journey with you Dottie! I hope all is great your way. Hugs. Nik
Dorms usually have storage rooms for when there's a need of additional furniture or in case they need to work on the rooms without the furniture being in the way. At least my dorm had that. I guess they don't really expect you to not use the furniture they give you (as most students are broke and don't bring in own furniture), but I imagine you should be able to tell them that you don't want to use it.
Shekinah's World usually what happens is the college allows them to put them in a designated school storage area. Or she had her other roommates/building mates take that furniture and use it in their rooms. However, in many places, removing furniture is absolutely not allowed so I can see the confusion.
What a blessing for Jewel to have a talented aunt and uncle to help her organize and beautify her dorm spaces. Hope she has a great year of study and fun and figuring out what she's all about!
It's so gorgeous! What a blessing for Jewel as she's transitioning into a new chapter of her life! I loved the turtle from your grandmother. You are so thoughtful to include that. TFS!
Fabulous. My daughter is going back to school in the Fall and moving into her one bedroom apartment on campus. Central Washington Univ. in Ellensburg, WA. We are so so excited. I love what you did with her room. I definately could use some of the storage ideas shown. I love the wire rack in the bathroom with the 3 colored bins underneath. Decorative, but yet stylish. when I make the video of my daughters room, I will definitely let you know so you can watch.
What a beautiful dorm room and blessed daughter! My daughter's only 10 but you have made me so excited for her to go off to college so I could decorate her room!
Her space is absolutely fabulous. Well done ladies! She is sure to start off her college experience on that right foot. Best of luck to your lovely niece as she starts this new chapter in her life. Thanks for taking us along Nikki!
Wow! Great job there Nikki. It's amazing how small that space is but you turn it to a sanctuary and functional at the same time for a student. It can be a regular room for me.
+catherine gavino Thank you so much! It was such a fun day and we really enjoyed putting the space together. She is really loving it. I hope you are doing great. Hugs. Nik
Nikki, You did a fabulous job with that dorm room, you did a total makeover and it is beautiful. I know Jewel and her Mom is so happy with her room, you packed everything in such an organized way. The colors are so bright and cheerful and all of the inspirational messages around the room is wonderful. I love the two desks with the ottomons. The temporary wallpaper is a genius idea. The bathroom and kitchen set up is beautiful and functional as well. Congratulations on a job well done!! Your hard work is not in vain. Blessings Chanel
The room looks fantastic you have a beautiful eye for design.I too moved my niece in to her dorm today thanks to your tips our move was smooth.we had the room decorated really fast and I give her her first care package a large tin of chocolate chip cookies as we told each other you are the best.
+faye pettaway Thank you so much! I hope you all also had a blast moving in your niece. These are such exciting times. I wish your niece so much success! That was so sweet that you gave her the care package. You sound like a wonderful Auntie! LOVE IT! Hugs. Nik
I love you how transformed the space into something bright and positive, but also created a lot more space for storage which look cute! I love the color combinations, they're chic yet fun. Great room and inspiration!!!
Hi Nikki, You did an amazing job! I have 3 kids that went to college and have never seen any room like this, your niece is very fortunate to get your help. Love it!
what a beautiful room, my goodness I could live there. dorm rooms are so drab this one is so fab AtHomeWithNikki I think her room is going to be popular with everyone. its so beautiful. wow is all I can say. dorm room hall of fame for the best.
You have given me so many great ideas Nikki! My step daughter will be starting college next spring and this series will be my bible for getting her room prepared. You have a lovely family and please welcome Jewel to my city. I know she's going to do great in college. You are a class act my friend! God bless you!
Wow! Jewel is such a lucky young lady! She certainly has all the beautiful tools in place for a very successful year, thanks in large part to her amazing cousin, Nikki! I really love the set up she has at her dorm. I would have loved it back in my university days! So organized in conjunction with the attention to aesthetic details. Heaven!!! My standard advice for all college freshmen is to treat their school work like a regular job. Go to class and study, Monday through Friday, from 8am to 5pm (with a few short breaks and a quick lunch thrown in the mix). Then you'll have all evenings and weekends to socialize and enjoy! However, on those weeknights where you're not socializing, throw in a few loads of laundry and then you don't have to compete during the busy laundry time on the weekends. Good or bad time management can respectively make or break your college career! Best of luck, Jewel!!!
+EEN63 Thank you so much my friend. You know I had such a great time putting her space together. She is such a great young lady and I am so very proud of her. She is over the moon happy with her room which made me feel so good. Such great advice!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing that. PERFECT! I hope all is going great your way and sending you huge hugs!! Nik
Wow. I was so amazed by how much the dorm changed. It gives the dorm more personality and it feels like you're at home. If you decorated my room I feel as if I would be overwhelmed with how great it would turn out. As always... love your videos. ❤
Oh Nikki! I have enjoyed all the vlogs relating to your niece's move and enjoyed everyone. I still wasn't prepared for the way at all fit together. I have seen much about dorm rooms, simply to learn about best use of small space. Naturally, what you did has outshone them all. A few questions: - where did the dorm furniture go that was replaced? - where do find extended family and boyfriend who are so genuinely supportive of Jules and what you were doing for her? - where do the cushions go while sleeping, etc.? There was certainly an abundance of them, Nikki, even if I didn't love what you did to the room, and other spaces (but I do!) there is something that stands out by a mile there. It is simply how much Jules is loved. It's in everything that was made, bought, placed, cleaned and left for her to start her new college life. Thank you for sharing your family with us. I wish he all the best. N xxx
Fantastic. Great family project, bonding time. Reminds me of my mom and I fixing up my dorm rooms every year, way back when! I truly enjoyed this tour and the lovely sentiments. Great DIY ideas, as well. Thanks!
Nikki you did an amazing job!! I love how much bigger the space looks. and let me just say, Jewel is a beauty! Those college boys are going to be knocking on her door trying to take her to dinner!
Jewel's dorm room looks fabulous! I love the colors you used. I wish we had had all these pretty accessories and decor items years ago when I was in college.😊 I love how they have the wallpaper for dorm rooms now. I'll have to remember all these great ideas when my nieces get to be college age. I've enjoyed the dorm room videos. I hope Jewel has a wonderful year in college. I miss those days sometimes but just not the studying so much.
I want to start out by saying Nikki your daughter and you are absolutely GORGEOUS! I absolutely love what y'all did with the room! It's beautiful and doesn't even look like the same room! I absolutely love your style, you're such a classy lady!
I love your sense of style, and you have a great eye for color combinations. I Love this dorm room . Your home is beautiful also. Great job, beautiful! You are very talented Nikki.
Awww Jewel's dorm room is beautiful. I love all those pillows on her bed and the colors u chose are just gorgeous .Jewel is so blessed to have such a great family and support system. Continued blessings to u and your family.
+Carleaisher washington Thank you so much Carleaisher! Jewel also loved her pillows. She said she is sleeping with every last one of the each night. ..LOL. We had such a blast on this trip and putting her space together. Hope all is great your way. Hugs. Nik
This room is absolutely stunning! I love the color scheme and storage is outstanding!! You have taken this room beyond dorm chic!! What a great place to study and relax, she is all set for an amazing year!! Thank you so much for sharing and have super weekend. Liza :)
You are such an amazing thoughtful person, Nikki. Everyone in your life is lucky to have you. And so are we so we can be inspired. Oh how I wish I had this dorm room when I was back in college! TFS!!! Love this so much!
+StilaKiss33 Thank you so much!!! I feel like the blessed one to be able to do this for Jewel. I was so excited to share the space with you. Hope all is great your way. Hugs. Nik

FABULOUS !!! What a fortunate girl Jewel is to have such a wonderful room and aunt!! I wish her every success in the coming college years and I'm sure your beautifully decorated room will help her to be comfortable and "at home". You could probably now have a full time job decorating all the college dorm rooms once all the residents see hers!!
+Yvette Oliver Thank you so much Yvette! I was so happy that I was able to share the journey and room with you. We had a blast putting it together. Hope all is great your way. Hug. Nik
I need a more minimalist style for myself but I'm amazed at what you did with that space. I just discovered your channel and I'm binge watching right now.. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful transformation Nikki. Jewel you are one lucky young lady, such a great room for you to grow into greatness! Now Jewel your YT family is watching you and we are here routing you onward towards your success!
Nikki this was so very nice. I just love to see dorm room make over's to take such a small space and make it look so spacious all of you done a beautiful thing for your little cousin. I wish her a very happy and wonderful journey in college.
I knew the room would look good, but you outdid yourself with this one. So beautiful, classic, and fun at the same time. Wishing Jewel the very best in her educational goals.
Wow what a transformation! Jewel's dorm room looks beautiful. What is she studying? What a great start to an exciting chapter of her life. She sure has a very supportive and kind family! Well done!
Wowowow! The wallpaper makes a huge impact. Dorm friendly - who knew? If this room is any indication of the kind of year she'll have, she'll get a 4.0!
Mind is officially blown! Everything you touch turns to gold! Awesome space! Loved the turtle story. How special. I just love your videos Nikki. Thanks for all you do.
I was amazed by the before and after ! Absolutely beautiful. It's practical and aesthetically pleasing all at the same time. And may I just say, Jewel is a gorgeous young woman. I can't decide which is more stunning, the room or Jewel! I've been following this series and have enjoyed it immensely. Job well done, Nikki! -Anna
I'm in love with Jewel's room. I know I'm going to have to refer back to these videos in the near future. My oldest daughter is a junior in high school this year. Thanks to you and Jewel for allowing us to share this journey with her. I was going to ask about the old furniture, but I did my homework and checked the comments first. Everything seemed to work out perfectly.
+At Home With Delicia Thank you so much Delicia!! You know those high school years go by so fast. We were talking about how it feels like yesterday Jewel was this little girl and now she is this grown women! I am so happy that I shared some things that could helpful. Hugs. Nik
I know right , i know that they cant paint or do nothin like the way they did it its against the rules that they have, and i believe i dont know depending
+jllouie I have a bedroom with 2 beds and desks since I have a private room that would normally be a standard (2 girl) room. I put my extra furniture in storage. My apartments are townhouse style and so we have 3 storage options available to us: Our downstairs closet, our outside storage, and the huge storage space in the clubhouse for all residents to use. It just depends on where you're living and what they offer :)
I'm actually go to college next year, and this really inspired me, I've watched all the videos, and it's so perfect! thank you so much, this is something I'd do because it is organized, I loved everything about the dorm, it came together perfectly.
Hi Mrs. Nikki I love the way you are create about your decorations especially the dorm room. You turn something depressing into something fabulous. Will continue to follow your blog. Pamela
Wow what a lovely family you have, the room look's just right for a lovely young lady. Thanks Nikki you always have great ideas. Greetings from Australia. :-)
WOW!!!! So beautiful!!! These dorms are so much nicer than what we had back when I was in college. Yellowing painted cinder block walls, old 1970's built in dressers and desks. And we sure never had a kitchen! This is just amazing, great work!!!
Wow Looove her room she will feel like home in a beautiful room she has everything she needs in it ! You did a great Job Nikki huge hugs to you all !!!
AtHomeWithNikki How will she get up on the bed she looks a bit short for how high the bed is, is there a step ladder or something hidden away in the closet?
I've watched this video going into my senior year of High School year . I am now going into my freshman year of college. I have showed my mother this video and told her I need all of this (in my own style of course, I dont want to copy her). But if i could get my dorm room to look like this I would be so happy
+Clista C The chest went under her bed (It is behind the under bed bins). She and her roommates decided they wanted her desk for their living room area since she was not going to use it.
I love the finished product Nikki!!!!...It's simply stunning...A mix of sophistication, functionality, vibrant colours and fun...Jewel all success is yours for the taking!!!
+snowbird Awwwww!! Thank you so much! Such an amazing compliment! Her clothes went in her closet. Unfortunately I missed getting footage of her closet, but we were able to get her all unpacked and all her clothes hung and put away. Wish I caught that footage to show you. It all fit in their perfectly. Hugs. Nik
first I want to say your have a beautiful family. ..Your are so talented her room is so gorgeous. .thx for ideas.. Hope Jewel has a wonderful and productive experience!
You're amazing!!!! You've completely transformed that room. It's beautiful!! Thanks for being such an inspiration and sharing with all of us through your channels. Continued blessings to you.
+trulyblessedforlife1 Awww! Thank you so much! This was so much fun to put together. I loved being able to take you on this journey with me. Many blessings to you also my friend. Hugs. Nik
WOW!! What a beautiful room. I couldn't stop admiring every corner of the room, I felt the video was not long enough for me to be able to see the details. It was beautiful and practical. Well done Nikki.😊
that brings back so many memories.... lol.... I wish I had someone to organize my room like hers....lol.... but great great job..... her room looks amazing.... and may God bless her in her college journey. ....
you are one awesome mama! i know all the girls at the dorm wish they had a mom like you! Jewel is definitely blessed to have you! i just love your style!
AMAZING!!!! You are so creative & EXTREMELY talented !!!! J is my initial too so I loved it even more ! I wish you lived in California, I would hire you in a heart beat to help me decorate & create storage decor in my home. Thanks for sharing ! You are such a great aunt to do this for your niece. The best part was the turtle you have her that honored & represented your grandmother. Lovely!
Wow, you didn't disappoint!! Love everything and the DIY artwork layout is stunning. And thanks for showing us your planning process from beginning to end. You showed us how fun it can be.
+oscarfelix1952 Awww! Thank you so much! I hope to do some videos sharing the wall DIY art projects. They were so much fun. I loved being able to share the process with you. Hugs. Nik
+Connie Palmer Thank you so much Connie! We had such a great time putting the space together. So glad I could share some helpful ideas with you. Hugs. Nik
I love this...My favorite part of every year of college was moving in and setting up a new room. My bedspread was alway the same but I usually found something new to complement it and make it (/my side of the room) my own.
Nikki you have outdone yourself! This is absolutely beautiful and you've thought of so much to make this a functional space too! She must be so thrilled xx
Such a beautiful space. Some of the suggestions are even great for a small started apartment that I will pass on to my son, niece and cousin. Thank you for sharing so much of your life with us. I love all of your videos. BTW, I'm in Hotlanta! Welcome Jewel!
Amazing as always, Nikki!! I wish you lived close so I could get tips from you. You have such great ideas and taste. My dorm room looked nothing like this when I went off to college. I wish it was half as colorful Jewel is so blessed to have you! Have a great semester, Jewel!!
You will be getting calls from every colleges all around the nation to plan and decorate dorm rooms!!!!! This is spectacular!!!! You are truly gifted and it will surely open BIG doors for you and usher you in the presence of greatness!!!!
+Living Luxuriously for Less Thank you so much! This has been such a blessed and beautiful journey. We had such a blast that day. It was a lot of work but fun at the same time. We will remember this day always. The picture was perfect Melanie!!!! Thank you so so much my friend! Hugs. Nik
Where are you going to sleep or put your pillows
You should really go and get licensed in interior decorating. You are very talented!!
Just wondering what happened to the furniture that was originally in the room.
I think they hid the original desk under the bed (why they had to raise the bed up). I'm pretty sure the bed frame is the original and they put risers underneath.
Nikole Jocelyn
Me too. In my dorm you can't remove furniture!
More than likely they had building services pick it up. Many schools have a storage area with extra dorm furniture in case something gets broken or damaged.
Could you please do an update on Jewels room Nikki? What works ... What didn't ... What was a fabulous idea etc. love your videos!
once again Nikki you did a fabulous job !!! I bet it was kinda of a little sad seening your baby going off to College but how so very proud mama you must be... and your daughters room looks Fabulous !!! when she walks in her room it's like having a piece of home that mama created for her...
What a Blessing
That's not her daughter
Jewel and Nikki are cousins :)
It looked like it couldn't have gone any smoother. Many hands make for light work my grandma use to say. I was so impressed by how each person had their job to do and you finished so quickly. The room is beautiful ! You have such a lovely family. Have a wonderful year Jewel !
+dottie b Thank you so much Dottie! You are so right. They really all came together to make this day fun and run so smoothly. I am so happy that Jewel loves the space and is now in college and ready to roll! I am so happy I was able to share the journey with you Dottie! I hope all is great your way. Hugs. Nik
Can I ask what you did with the old furniture?
That's what I was wondering 😂😂
you can send it back to the school
usually you can ask administration at the school to move or remove furniture from the room and they just put it in storage :)
Dorms usually have storage rooms for when there's a need of additional furniture or in case they need to work on the rooms without the furniture being in the way. At least my dorm had that. I guess they don't really expect you to not use the furniture they give you (as most students are broke and don't bring in own furniture), but I imagine you should be able to tell them that you don't want to use it.

Or she had her other roommates/building mates take that furniture and use it in their rooms. However, in many places, removing furniture is absolutely not allowed so I can see the confusion.
What a blessing for Jewel to have a talented aunt and uncle to help her organize and beautify her dorm spaces. Hope she has a great year of study and fun and figuring out what she's all about!
I can't believe this is a college dorm. Its beautiful! You did such a fantastic job!!
It's so gorgeous! What a blessing for Jewel as she's transitioning into a new chapter of her life! I loved the turtle from your grandmother. You are so thoughtful to include that. TFS!

Wow!
Great job there Nikki.
It's amazing how small that space is but you turn it to a sanctuary and functional at the same time for a student.
It can be a regular room for me.

Go to class and study, Monday through Friday, from 8am to 5pm (with a few short breaks and a quick lunch thrown in the mix). Then you'll have all evenings and weekends to socialize and enjoy!

I'm glad she likes it because I feel like it's so overwhelming
it seems really extra, lol. but if it works for her, that's what matters.
great room! I love the story about your grandmother...very sweet! blessings and good luck.
Her dorm room is absolutely gorgeous! I wished mine looked like this when I was in college. You did an amazing job!
+Yvette Oliver Thank you so much Yvette! I was so happy that I was able to share the journey and room with you. We had a blast putting it together. Hope all is great your way. Hug. Nik
I need a more minimalist style for myself but I'm amazed at what you did with that space. I just discovered your channel and I'm binge watching right now.. Thank you for sharing.
You took that room from drab to FAB! It looks amazing.
Beautiful transformation Nikki. Jewel you are one lucky young lady, such a great room for you to grow into greatness! Now Jewel your YT family is watching you and we are here routing you onward towards your success!
It looks really great, but there's so much going on with all the colors and decor for my super minimalist style. I hope she loves it though!
Nikki this was so very nice. I just love to see dorm room make over's to take such a small space and make it look so spacious all of you done a beautiful thing for your little cousin. I wish her a very happy and wonderful journey in college.
looooove it!!!! beautiful taste in decor
beautiful. the room and you helping your daughter decorate. I know you are proud to have your baby go off to college.
Woooow ..I really like her room. 💯💯
I knew the room would look good, but you outdid yourself with this one. So beautiful, classic, and fun at the same time. Wishing Jewel the very best in her educational goals.
I wish my school would let us use different desks/dressers...we're not allowed to take out the ones that are supplied. Yours are so much cuter!
Wow what a transformation! Jewel's dorm room looks beautiful. What is she studying? What a great start to an exciting chapter of her life. She sure has a very supportive and kind family! Well done!
Wowowow! The wallpaper makes a huge impact. Dorm friendly - who knew? If this room is any indication of the kind of year she'll have, she'll get a 4.0!
Mind is officially blown! Everything you touch turns to gold! Awesome space! Loved the turtle story. How special. I just love your videos Nikki. Thanks for all you do.
One word. Wow.
I was amazed by the before and after ! Absolutely beautiful. It's practical and aesthetically pleasing all at the same time. And may I just say, Jewel is a gorgeous young woman. I can't decide which is more stunning, the room or Jewel! I've been following this series and have enjoyed it immensely. Job well done, Nikki!

OMG Nikki! this is crazy! I think you have a new business girl! where did you put all the brown furniture that came with the dorm room?
I'm in love with Jewel's room. I know I'm going to have to refer back to these videos in the near future. My oldest daughter is a junior in high school this year. Thanks to you and Jewel for allowing us to share this journey with her. I was going to ask about the old furniture, but I did my homework and checked the comments first. Everything seemed to work out perfectly.
+At Home With Delicia Thank you so much Delicia!! You know those high school years go by so fast. We were talking about how it feels like yesterday Jewel was this little girl and now she is this grown women! I am so happy that I shared some things that could helpful. Hugs. Nik
What did you do with the old desk and chair?
ikr. she can't trash it.
I know right , i know that they cant paint or do nothin like the way they did it its against the rules that they have, and i believe i dont know depending
But other then that i love it
They put it out side of her room I think you can just about see it
+jllouie I have a bedroom with 2 beds and desks since I have a private room that would normally be a standard (2 girl) room. I put my extra furniture in storage. My apartments are townhouse style and so we have 3 storage options available to us: Our downstairs closet, our outside storage, and the huge storage space in the clubhouse for all residents to use. It just depends on where you're living and what they offer :)
I'm actually go to college next year, and this really inspired me, I've watched all the videos, and it's so perfect! thank you so much, this is something I'd do because it is organized, I loved everything about the dorm, it came together perfectly.
Where'd You Get The Wire Racks That Are Holding The Storage Bins Under The Bed ?
Hi Mrs. Nikki I love the way you are create about your decorations especially the dorm room. You turn something depressing into something fabulous. Will continue to follow your blog. Pamela
Wow what a lovely family you have, the room look's just right for a lovely young lady. Thanks Nikki you always have great ideas. Greetings from Australia. :-)
+Susan Maccoll Thank you so much my friend! I was so happy I could share this time with you. I hope all is great in beautiful Australia! Hugs. Nik
WOW!!!! So beautiful!!! These dorms are so much nicer than what we had back when I was in college. Yellowing painted cinder block walls, old 1970's built in dressers and desks. And we sure never had a kitchen! This is just amazing, great work!!!
Where did you put the old desks ?
Wow Looove her room she will feel like home in a beautiful room she has everything she needs in it ! You did a great Job Nikki huge hugs to you all !!!
Her dorm room is beautiful!
+summit961 Thank you so much! So fun to work on. Hugs. Nik
AtHomeWithNikki How will she get up on the bed she looks a bit short for how high the bed is, is there a step ladder or something hidden away in the closet?
+Ami Bah Hi. She has a little step stool beside her bed.
I've watched this video going into my senior year of High School year . I am now going into my freshman year of college. I have showed my mother this video and told her I need all of this (in my own style of course, I dont want to copy her). But if i could get my dorm room to look like this I would be so happy
The furniture that came with the room what did u all do with it
+Clista C The chest went under her bed (It is behind the under bed bins). She and her roommates decided they wanted her desk for their living room area since she was not going to use it.
Ok ok cool
I love the finished product Nikki!!!!...It's simply stunning...A mix of sophistication, functionality, vibrant colours and fun...Jewel all success is yours for the taking!!!
+Nansa Harry Thank you so much Nansa! We were so excited to see the space come together. Jewel just loves it! Hugs. Nik
So what did you do with the old furniture? My best guess is you hid it behind the organizer under the bed...
Nikki, I love how everything has a function and in its own space. Fabulous!
This room should be in a magazine. Where are her clothes?
+snowbird Awwwww!! Thank you so much! Such an amazing compliment! Her clothes went in her closet. Unfortunately I missed getting footage of her closet, but we were able to get her all unpacked and all her clothes hung and put away. Wish I caught that footage to show you. It all fit in their perfectly. Hugs. Nik
This much-anticipated reveal was well worth the wait! Beautiful, creative unique exquisite!!!
What did all the roomies think of her room? I bet she is the talk of campus with that awesome room!
first I want to say your have a beautiful family. ..Your are so talented her room is so gorgeous. .thx for ideas.. Hope Jewel has a wonderful and productive experience!

You're amazing!!!! You've completely transformed that room. It's beautiful!! Thanks for being such an inspiration and sharing with all of us through your channels. Continued blessings to you.
+trulyblessedforlife1 Awww! Thank you so much! This was so much fun to put together. I loved being able to take you on this journey with me. Many blessings to you also my friend. Hugs. Nik

+KIMBO MELLARK Thank you so much! Hugs. Nik
KIMBO MELLARK that's what I said!...lol
I'm still in shock! You did a great job, Nikki!
WOW!! What a beautiful room. I couldn't stop admiring every corner of the room, I felt the video was not long enough for me to be able to see the details. It was beautiful and practical. Well done Nikki.😊
wait wait wait. where are all her clothes!?
There's a door near the bed and I assume that that's her closet door
She gets a closet u know
in this amazing thing called a closet
Zakena Dixon WAIT! There is!? Haha I didn't realize the door was one.
I'm decorating my room EXACTLY like this. This is by far the best form I have ever seen. I am in love.
that brings back so many memories.... lol.... I wish I had someone to organize my room like hers....lol.... but great great job..... her room looks amazing.... and may God bless her in her college journey. ....
you are one awesome mama! i know all the girls at the dorm wish they had a mom like you! Jewel is definitely blessed to have you! i just love your style!
This is really beautiful! The way you decorated the room made it look so much bigger. Great job, love it! So warm and inviting!
AMAZING!!!! You are so creative & EXTREMELY talented !!!! J is my initial too so I loved it even more ! I wish you lived in California, I would hire you in a heart beat to help me decorate & create storage decor in my home. Thanks for sharing ! You are such a great aunt to do this for your niece. The best part was the turtle you have her that honored & represented your grandmother. Lovely!
Wow, you didn't disappoint!! Love everything and the DIY artwork layout is stunning. And thanks for showing us your planning process from beginning to end. You showed us how fun it can be.
+oscarfelix1952 Awww! Thank you so much! I hope to do some videos sharing the wall DIY art projects. They were so much fun. I loved being able to share the process with you. Hugs. Nik
Jewel is very lucky to have you in her corner. This is such a cute room. I got some ideas for my daughter's room. TFS!
+Connie Palmer Thank you so much Connie! We had such a great time putting the space together. So glad I could share some helpful ideas with you. Hugs. Nik
I love this...My favorite part of every year of college was moving in and setting up a new room. My bedspread was alway the same but I usually found something new to complement it and make it (/my side of the room) my own.
You are such a wonderful mother for doing this for your daughter! It looks great!
Even more impressive and kind, it's her niece!
Nikki you have outdone yourself! This is absolutely beautiful and you've thought of so much to make this a functional space too! She must be so thrilled xx
+Kerry Lovebump (The Lovebump) Thank you so much! She was in heaven which just made my day Kerry. Hugs. Nik
You and Jewel look beautiful! Love the teal wallpapered accent wall behind the bed and the "Be happy..." gold lettering. Great job!
Such a beautiful space. Some of the suggestions are even great for a small started apartment that I will pass on to my son, niece and cousin. Thank you for sharing so much of your life with us. I love all of your videos. BTW, I'm in Hotlanta! Welcome Jewel!
Love this. I will most definitely reference this video next year.
Nikki you have a wonderful family. Best wishes to Jewel. What a fun time in her life. Her room is so cute. Nice job.
Amazing as always, Nikki!! I wish you lived close so I could get tips from you. You have such great ideas and taste. My dorm room looked nothing like this when I went off to college. I wish it was half as colorful Jewel is so blessed to have you! Have a great semester, Jewel!!
