Dorm Decor

Whether you're a high school senior or the experienced collegiate, upgrading, changing, and designing your dorm room is always a fun pastime. A company by the name of Dorm Decor in Alabama specializes in refined campus living for all students! As an interior designer and event planner, Alison Gorrie and Kate Phillips both had an entrepreneurial spirit that led to the success of the original product, the Dorm Cubby, and their complete line of dorm accessories.

Cubbies

The Cubby line creates a space for organization as well as a stylish appeal.

Bed Cubby

The Bed Cubby is the ultimate vertical storage unit that every college student needs.

Bedside Cubby

The perfect nightstand to fit by your dorm bed. Built narrow to use a minimum of floor space and it's tall enough to work with a semi-lofted bed. Comes with a generous drawer and two deep cubby shelves.

Desk Cubby

A dorm room desk isn't just for studying and storing books. It often serves as a vanity to do makeup and hair, as well as a catch all for pretty much everything. Desk organization is critical to getting ready on time and finding what you need. A Desk Cubby provides vertical storage to help you stay organized while adding high style to your dorm room.

I love the entire year. Well, for the most part. I'm not a big fan of Winter, but even then, every month has something that's pretty great. November? Thanksgiving. December? Winter Holidays. January? New Year's. February? Valentine's and Single Awareness Day. May? Existential dread during finals. But for me, March has always been my favorite month of the year, and for good reason.
