These College Roommates Designed The Most Elegant Dorm Room Ever

August 18, 2016

This is not your typical dorm room. In fact, I've never seen one quite like this.

Lindy Goodson and Abby Bozeman

Lindy Goodson and Abby Bozeman are college roommates at The University of Mississippi. The pair spared no detail when it came to decorating their home away from home.

"Most of the decorations were found at TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Hobby Lobby, Home Goods, Target, Home Depot, antique stores, and things we found at our own homes," Goodson, originally from Illinois, told ABC News. "The lamps were on clearance from Hobby Lobby, the stools were plain from Home Goods and I just added some blue velvet ribbons to jazz them up. My roommate Abby found the dresser at an antique store and it was dark wood with a missing drawer and she had it repainted and added crystal knobs from Home Depot. The curtain on the dresser is made of a hand towel I found on TJ Maxx's clearance aisle. The pillows, headboards, and extra-long bed skirts were made by a fabric store in Abby's hometown."

The girls were introduced to each other by a mutual friend on social media last year, and the rest, as they say, was history.

The response has mainly been positive!" Goodson said of the feedback they've gotten on their snazzy sanctuary. "There is a bit of negativity, but we are so happy with our room and had so much fun decorating it that it doesn't bother us. Nearly all rooms at our school are decorated beautifully and are very unique, so we are surprised and flattered that our room has gotten so much attention!"

Needless to say, Goodson and Bozeman were extremely methodical in their matching dorm room planning, even while still living states away from each other.

"We knew school and living in a dorm was going to get stressful so we chose the blues and neutral to keep our room calm-feeling and we love it!" said Goodson. "Abby's mom sent me fabric samples of the pillow fabric and the bed skirts so I used them in every purchase I made to make sure everything would match once we moved in. We also sent each other tons of pictures back and forth of things we'd found."
