"A girl this age wants something to grab to eat between classes and she can use it in the middle of the table when she has people over," said Perryman. The inner student: A silver-colored bowl for fruit ($9.99) was an important addition. These included: two sets of blue and green canvas bins ($12.99 each) a set of three plastic cube shelves ($14.99) a set of three mesh bags in a rose color to hang on the wall ($6.99). Storage Strategy: For the rest of the design touches, Perryman brought in a variety of storage cubes and boxes for CDs, spices, curios, magazines, papers, etc. Perryman also picked up a blue paper lantern and another in citrus green ($5.99 each) to brighten up the dining space.
Lightening up: "A paper floor lamp ($28.99) lets off a really nice light, and looks really pretty," she says. The 30-by-50-inch blue shag rug ($19.99) under the bed is a bathroom rug because the floor is not really soft. Getting the blues: The bed comforter ($19.99), fleece blanket ($7.99), blue set of sheets ($12.99) and blue body pillow $9.99) brought Perryman's bedding tab to $50.96. The source: Target was Perryman's main source for furnishings "because of all the great design the store offers at affordable prices." It is pretty standard today to have that."

"The one they had was completely uncomfortable, so I felt a student would bring a chair on her own from home," she says. Wish list: All the furniture shown in Perryman's rendering is what is provided by the dorm, except for the office chair. Two of the blown-up calendar pictures were framed (two Euro Clip Poster frames, $15.99 for the 24-by-36-inch size,and $9.99 for the 18-by-24 size from Target) and the other two went straight on the wall.
The "posters" she hung on the walls came out of a calendar ($12.99 at Barnes & Noble Bookseller), which she took to Kinko's and, for about $6 each, had blown up to different sizes. I wanted to make it interesting and tie the colors together, too," says Perryman. Artful tie-in: Artwork is important to her "because it helped the space seem more comfortable, lived in and colorful.
