$150 Challenge!

Monday, May 11 2009 - Holli

Back by popular demand! After the response from the $100 Challenge I posted last month, I decided to do another! For many of our readers, College is looming just around the corner. So, I bring to you, the Dorm Edition!

Dorms are known to be cramped and bare. You don’t have to settle for this! Opt for functional and stylish! Keeping a college student’s budget in mind, I was able to makeover a dorm room for under $150 at Ikea!

Felicia Throw blanket $9.99

Granat Throw pillow $3.99

Ljusas Uvas Lamp $39.99

#2 Holli True on 5.12.2009 at 12:15 PM: That's the great thing about the items selected for this makeover, you can totally change some of the items out to better suit your style! :) The Sunnan Solar Lamp is made in red, right?
#3 Brian on 5.12.2009 at 2:25 PM: It does come in red, Holli, but I was only kidding. As always, you have an amazing eye and picked out some very cool pieces!
#4 Holli True on 5.12.2009 at 5:26 PM: Thank you and no worries!! :) We should do the Ikea trip and let each person design their ultimate room! I will take pictures of each of us in "our room". Wouldn't that be so fun??
