How Are You Going to Decorate Your Dorm?

Google Homes and Amazon Echoes confuse me. Wouldn’t they work better in a larger environment not like a dorm room?

Beautifully framed photograph of your parent or parents for your desk? Blown up poster sized copy of the tuition agreement and cancelled check for the wall?

^ Was that a buzz kill post? You can tell me.

@PhotographerMom I think everyone stopped in their tracks after that post, so yes…maybe :wink:

Where are you guys getting your posters from? Hopefully, they’re not just printed out pieces of paper? :-? I don’t have a lot of posters but I’ll try to put some up in the dorm.

My kids often used posters.com but their school also had a poster sale at the beginning of the year.

I use posters.com too. Pretty useful in decorating my room now.

@FunintheSun1211 @doschicos Isn’t posters.com the same as allposters.com? They seem pretty similar and posters.com reroutes you to allposters when you click search.

I’m not sure, it may be

Christie’s. This is the one hanging on my wall now:

Remember: Content and images matter. A great example is the popular/ classic John Belushi Animal House “college” posters. One includes a bottle of alcohol ( bad ) and one does not ( good ). :wink:

@PhotographerMom Animal House? Way to define the target audience. :slight_smile: In all seriousness though, I think most handbooks will stipulate what is appropriate and what is not, so incoming students should confirm. From the Andover Blue Book:

Hey- that was a fave for my boys! LOL

So in other words @skieurope … that vintage Christy Brinkley Sports Illustrated poster is probably off the table ? @-)

@PhotographerMom You mean Sailor Brinkley Cook’s mother??? (who looks damn good for 64, but still. :slight_smile: )

You may have a point there. LOL

It depends on what i find at target, bed, bath and beyond etc, i’m not really looking for anything specific but i know that no matter what i get, i’ll make it work in a way

allposters is where SwimKid orders from. They have great sales. Old records make cool decorations. Sports jerseys. And of course lights. Every single rooms has lights even though they are banned in the handbook LOL!

@momof3swimmers allposters have really small posters for quite a price! I checked it once or twice but now that there’s no sale going on there’s not much to buy! :frowning:

Don’t you get in trouble when teachers check the rooms?

@momof3swimmers You talking christmas lights or just lamps?

I listen to a lot of hip-hop music, and I was wondering if posters of my all-time favorite albums would be permissible. I hope I can post some links on here, but stuff like this:

https://genius.com/album_cover_arts/29020 (To Pimp A Butterfly, Kendrick Lamar)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illmatic#/media/File:NasIllmatic.jpg (Illmatic, Nas)

Anyone who knows their general hip-hop knows that these are classic albums and hailed as some of the greatest pieces of music in history. However, I can understand that the general public may find these offensive (especially the former).
