[@KelleyBakerBlogger]

I have a son who will be graduating from high school this year so I'm paying close attention to your dorm videos! You are so talented!

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

Kelley Baker That is awesome Kelley! I hope he has a wonderful senior year. That years seems to go by so fast! So happy I can share these dorm videos with you. Thank you so much. Hugs. Nik

[@jenslims]

Oh my goodness she's going to be the most organised college kid ever! Beautifully put together, love the colour combos. I'm in love with those mugs and the blinged out travel mug!

[@KellyMcKelly]

Having YOU as a relative is awesome! I love how you color coordinated everything.

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

Kelly McKelly Awww! Thank you so much Kelly! I just love putting this together. Hope you are doing great. Hugs Nik

[@LivingLuxuriouslyforLess]

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

Living Luxuriously for Less Awww! Thank you so much! So glad you liked. Exciting times! Cannot wait to put the actual space together! Happy Sunday! Hugs. Nik

She's one lucky girl to have you as her cousin! Everything looks great!

[@lauriemcmillan2643]

These would also be great for a vacation home. Love the compactness and portability. Looking forward to seeing the rest.

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

Laurie McMillan Great point Laurie! Thanks for sharing that tip! Love it! Hope all is great your way. Hugs..Nik

[@LiveLoveCHXBeach]

For spices, I packed similar common spices and made blends of spices from my kitchen for example, a Mexican blend, Asian blend and Montreal steak seasoning. 5 years later, my son tells me his favorite was the Mexican blend.

[@lindarobertt6206]

Hi Nikki, I am amazed at your design sense and color coordination on a budget. These ideas are great for Senior citizens who are downsizing and for anyone who wants to conserve space. For those of us on a tight budget you have shown us just how beautiful one can organize their kitchen. Although this video was done for a dorm room the ideas can be used for Seniors or anyone who may be moving into a small space. Thank you for for sharing your wonderful ideas for so many people to use especially those of us with challenging resources. Your videos are so positive and inspiring!!

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

Linda Robertt Thank you so very much Linda! It was so great to able to share it with you. You makes such a great point. Someone else also mentioned the tips would be helpful for senior citizens. Love it! I hope you are having a beautiful and blessed day. Hugs .Nik

[@helenaa.8588]

Hi Nikki! UAU! I loved the colours and organization! And you thought of everything she will need to live for her own, for 4 years!!! I think she will be inspired to study on this doorm room!!! Great choices! Congratulations! Kisses from Portugal!

[@Zoe.TheBody360]

I'm sure every college student wants you as their courtesy aunt!! Great vid Nikki

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

ZOE L.M.F Awwww! That is so sweet! Thank you so much Zoe! So happy you liked the video and I hope you are having a fabulous weekend. Hugs. Nik

[@EEN63]

Wow! Your cousin is one lucky young lady! She is really going to be set for anything and I love that everything is sorted and compact for living in tight quarters. What a special blessing that she has you to help her out.

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

EEN63 Thank you so much! So glad you liked. It is so much fun doing this for her and to be able to share it with you. Hope things are great your way. Hugs.Nik

[@DeliciaatHome]

Your cousin is so blessed to have you help her with her dorm, so exciting!

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

At Home With Delicia Thanks so much! I love being able to do this for her. She is a great girl. Hope all is great your way. Hugs Nik

[@MsCoopersCoop]

Oh my. My daughter is starting her second year of college in September. I will definitely make sure that I use these essential tips you have just shown. I love the idea of the kitchen items. Everything was so compact. Thank you and I can't wait to see all of the other videos. This year my daughter is also sharing a 4 room suite with the kitchen and common area to share. I too want her items to be color coordinated so there will be no issues of what belongs to who. Thanks Nikki

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

***** Congrats to you and your daughter for finishing her first year of college! That is wonderful! I hope she had a great year. So glad I could share this with you and that you found it helpful. This is such a fun time. I hope you are having a great weekend. Hugs. Nik

[@nikitavalicia4939]

Excellent! I love it! When I was in college, one of the best memories I have was my family helping me plan, decorate, and organize my dorm room, it made me feel special! I know your cousin is going to love everything you've done, and hopefully she will be inspired and have a great year!

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

Nikita Valicia Thank you so much Nikita! Thanks for sharing that! Love it! I hope all is going great your way. Hugs. Nik

[@dottieburd]

I loved the part about your grandmother in heaven saying " give her some seasonings". I wish her the very best ! She has a lot of family support to help her get a good start this year. I think you have thought of everything.

[@TizaCreativa1983]

[@jalabi99]

That's my grandmama too! She always gave us our very own masala dabba to take to the dorm! Not as if we ever could cook as well as our dadi, but just having the spice box there helped to alleviate some of the homesickness!

[@uniquelyella4381]

I know that a lot of moms are loving all your great tips. I love how you kept it all in the same colors, I think that's key. My mom always says "this is a great country, because we have thing for everyone reach" or something like that, but I know what she means. Your dollar store items are beautiful. But I think you can make a phone book look beautiful. Sending blessing, Marlene

[@irhonda31]

Whatever that organizing and decorating gene is that you got, it sure passed me by! I wish I had it! I love the efficiency with style, absolutely love it!

[@LindySellsHomes]

Love the color combos, that makes it so much fun when she opens her cabinet doors. You are a doll for doing this for her. And I cannot wait to see the other rooms and what you find.

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

LindySellsHomes Thanks. You know those are some of my favorite colors :). I just love opening the door to a organized cabinet. It is a beautiful thing :). Can't wait to share the rest with you. Hope you are doing great Lindy! Hugs. Nik

[@mkshuu]

Nikki, you're such a good mother !! I love that you think of it all and so organized. Thanks !! Nikki

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

Mary Sotele Thank you so much Mary! I have so much fun doing this. My cousin is such a great girl and her mom did such a amazing job raising her so it is my pleasure to do this. Hope all is going great your way. Hugs. Nik

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

I love how thoughtful you were about your cousins needs. When I went off to college, I had to put together so much of this for myself and it was so stressful! Leaving the comfort of home is terrifying enough let alone having to prepare for all you'll need! I hope that your cousin has s great year at school!

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

Sweet And Simple Home Thank you so much! These are just such exciting times and I am so happy that I am able to do this for her. I can imagine! Well that goes to show how awesome you are because you did it my friend. Hats off to you! Hope you are having a beautiful and blessed weekend. Hugs..Nik

[@ForAudreyMKT]

Love this video series! Great dorm room tips! I love that you stuck to the necessities. It's so easy to go crazy and buy a ton of non essential items for the dorm room. I remember my freshman year I was trying to buy all kinds of crazy stuff. My mom stopped me when she saw me looking up emergency generators online haha! Send your cousin my best wishes. College is an amazing time in every young adults life. My biggest tip for her would be to utilize all of the free resources on campus. I work at a University in the Career Services department and we do so much for students. She can get her resume reviewed, attend workshops, find internships, etc. It's never too early to get her name out there! I also recommend introducing yourself to your professors. I used to go in to their office hours and just say my name and my class and the usual. Professors will remember that and when they know of any opportunities they are more likely to pass them off to the student they know :) Sorry for the long comment. God Bless

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

MaryKate Thompson Thank you so much MaryKate! Makes me so happy to know that you are enjoying this series. I just love sharing it with you and taking you on this journey with me. LOL!! You gave me a great giggle with the emergency generators :). I really appreciate your awesome advice! I will definitely be passing this on to my cousin..THANKS. Hugs...Nik

[@MoreThanHomemaking]

I needed you back when I went away for college! Lol. Beautifully organized and color coordinated as usual. :-)

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

Vonda V. Awww! Thanks Vonda! So glad you liked. I hope you are having a great start to your week. Hugs...Nik

[@bertalicious16]

OMG you hooked her up!! I was watching this and remembering when I moved into my dorm. I had some things but not a lot of things. I'm so excited for your cousin and this journey she is about to take. Best of luck to her!

[@1401mzhill]

Your attention to detail is simply amazing! You thought of everything! I love the fact that it's color coordinated, and efficient, but didn't cost an arm and a leg! I'll definitely be using some, if not all, of your great ideas for my 2 college freshmen (daughter and stepson)....definitely looking forward to more of your videos.

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

Mz Hill Thank you so much! I love the hunt of finding affordable, coordinating treasures that function great! Loved being able to share it with you. WOW! You have two starting college! That is awesome. I wish you all such a blessed year. Hugs. Nik

[@ksweetist]

I absolutely LOVE how organize you are! You're family is lucky to have you in their lives. Lol... They seem like lovely people so I'm sure you feel lucky too. 😊

[@ksweetist]

*typo... I meant YOUR...😁

[@DeeTeeAy08]

Hi Nikki I just loved the mini pots and pans. My 11 y/o would just love those. She loves to cook and it would be perfect for her to have er very own cooking tools. I think I will have to make a trip to Big Lots soon. Thank you so much for this idea.

[@sharonstratton]

Wonderful and thoughtful organizational video that will help when sending your children off to college. It's also great idea to give a student in the neighborhood to help them with the moving process. I loved the colors and can't wait for the next video. Many thumbs up!!

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

Sharon Stratton Thank you so much Sharon! So true! I am excited to share the rest of the videos with you. Hope all is great your way. Hugs. Nik

[@squirl6519]

This video was so helpful to me. I am in the process of helping my parents move into an assisted living apartment and have been trying to find ideas for small space living. I will be able to utilize all of your ideas for their kitchen. It is hard for them to downsize from a large home to 650 sq. ft. so I want to make the space as inviting and organized as possible in order for them to feel comfortable. This video helped so much!!!!!! I am so grateful for your ideas. Thank you!

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

Squirl This makes me so happy! So glad it was helpful to you for your parents. I can imagine it is difficult downsizing a large home. I wish you so much success with their transition. I hope you and your family are doing well. Hugs. Nik

[@ChanelStar11]

Nikki, You are a blessing and your cousin will be so happy to see how you have her so organized for college life. You have everything she needs with the storage to put everything away. I love things in order and I love to organize, so I enjoyed this video. Look forward to the rest of the dorm room videos. Hugs Chanel

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

ChanelStar11 Thank you so much Chanel! I feel so blessed to be able to do this for her. She is such a great girl. I am so excited to share everything with you. Hope all is great your way. Hugs. Nik

[@sereneebaby]

You did such an amazing job! It's really overwhelming, but not in a bad way. I'm totally stressing about how much I'll have to spend on dorm essentials, but you totally helped me prepare myself. Thank you!

[@teresapitman1659]

This is wonderful. I am impressed that you were able to find so many colour-coordinated pieces!

[@keelioness]

My son is starting college next month as well. He doesn't have a kitchen , just the standard room. But these tips were still so helpful. He can use all the microwave supplies and storage stuff. Hello dollar tree! Your great Nikki

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

keelioness That is awesome! Congrats to your son! I hope he has a wonderful first year of college! So glad the tips were helpful. Love the dollar tree! Have a wonderful day. Hugs Nik

[@youaintneverlied]

Nikki you do things with such style and grace. This was an inspirational vlog for me as my son will be moving out (I hope haha) in the next couple of months. I can't think of anything that would be more helpful to him and that I would enjoy doing for him as much as this. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us!

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

youaintneverlied Awww! Thank you so much for the beautiful compliment! I appreciate that. I hope your son has a successful move! I hope all is great your way my friend. Hugs...Nik

[@freshnewday]

WOW. This is so inspirational. I love that you were able to find so many things at Dollar Tree! This video is also great for outfitting a starter apartment. I can't wait to see your other videos in this series. Thank you so much!

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

freshnewday Thank you so much! So glad you liked. Same here. The dollar tree was such a great resource. I just love sharing these videos with you. Hugs. Nik

[@MsSassyMT]

Looks like you thought of everything. As I was watching this video, I remembered that I needed to replace my daughter's pizza tray for her dorm room, so thank you. Absolutely love the color scheme. Packing things in bins was a great idea. We didn't do that last year but I bought several at the end of the school year so this year we are set. I wish I had you to help us last year. Great job. My daughter packs a lot so I will probably make 2 trips. Luckily her college is only about 25 minutes away and my job is even closer so she tends to have me bring even more items throughout the year.

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

MsSassyMT Thank you! So glad you liked. Loved that you switched to the bin system. That is so helpful when moving. I remember that from my military moving days..LOL. That is so nice that your daughter is not that far from you. Love it! Hope you are having a beautiful and blessed weekend. Hugs. Nik

[@Mylifefullofhope]

I love everything! So well planned and thought out! Thanks for sharing! And love all the colors and organization!!

Hi there, Nikki, you are genius. I really appreciate all of your skill and talents, but you do speak rather rapidly, but beautifully. I am one of your Grand Mother subbies, so I will re watch and take notes, need this system for my Grand Daughter. It is lovely and affordable, as well delightful. I can barely wait, for your next installments. How kind you are to share. I try my best, but sometimes, I forget a few things, so I am really appreciative. Thank you so very much, Nikki. You are the best. Hugs, Val.

[@CiecieNewson]

I am moving in 3 months and I am going to use all of these dorm room videos for myself. Wow, AtHomeWithNikki you thought of EVERYTHING. Smile!

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

Ciecie Newson AWESOME! So happy you found the tips helpful Ciecie! Loved sharing them with you. Hugs. Nik

[@athenaannette]

Great job!! She's so lucky to have your help :D I love that her supplies are all in containers! When people share a space and everything is loose in cabinets and drawers, half your stuff is broken or missing by the end of the semester and everyone will say they don't know anything about it lol. I do think she needs one or two full size cookware, though. College students like making hamburger helper, spaghetti, frozen stir fry bags, etc. She's living with 3 other people so they're going to inevitably become friends and cook and share sometimes. Plus, college kids in dorms and apartments like inviting friends over for movie night, study night, etc. It's fun for them to play "host" or "grown up" for their first time living away from home, if you catch my drift.

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

UhTheeNuh89 You are so right about that! Thanks so much for the tip! Love it! You make such a great point. Hope all is going great your way. Hugs.Nik

[@athenaannette]

No, thank you! I love your videos. So many of your choices come from discount stores but with the way you put them together, they don't look discount at all! Another tip is for your cousin to have all her own stuff from the get-go. In the beginning when everything is kumbaya, kids will say, oh I have a frying pan so you get a pot and we'll share... but before you know it, someone used your pan last night and left it on the stove with dried food stuck in it. Now that you want to use it, they're out of the house or asleep. So you either have to scrape up and wash someone else's mess or be put in the awkward situation of knocking on their door and asking them to come out and clean it. It just makes for a messy situation (pun intended lol). I say, get her one non stick pan with high sides. It's like a pan and pot all in one :D

[@WithLoveShante81]

It's going to be the best dorm room ever!

[@doogieRN1]

Wow! I needed this when I went to college. Although it seems the dorms are being more thought out to as what a student may need. My first dorm did not have a kitchen for foyr girks to share. There was one kitchen one the first floor for the whole building! But like you stated Nikki, I hardly ever cooked, not until like my junior year. But I am lookjng forward to the bedroom & bathroom decor and essentials, also desk krganization. In college you do hzve to think compact and simple but stylish as these ideas can be used for a xmall apartmdnt too, you are so good at what you do Nikki, ghanks for sharing!!!

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

doogieRN1 Thanks. Loved sharing it with you. I agree with you. Dorms seems be coming up these days. Which is great. Thanks for your input. That is helpful to know and I totally agree with you. Hope all is great your way. Have a beautiful and blessed day. Hugs. Nik

Hello Nikki, this was a great video. I enjoyed all of your Dorm room tips for the kitchen. I don't have college students yet, but will have nieces and nephews next year. I am adding this video to my playlist for them. Thanks for sharing.

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

Tina Ferrier Thanks Tina! The stores are really on point now with things for dorm living. I have been enjoying seeing all the wonderful products out now. Hope your week has gotten off to a great start. Hugs .Nik

[@Rockilyyy]

I absolutely love this! I wish I had thought of this when I first moved out. I do have one complaint, and it's the Farberware can opener. I bought one when I first moved out and the little bugger broke with the first can I tried to open. However, it is inexpensive so I wasn't too let down, but if it does happen, I know Walmart and Big Lots have other ones that do not have plastic handles and those worked much better. Anyway, thank you for sharing, I can't wait to see the rest of this series.

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

Rockilyyy Thanks for the heads up on the can opener. Hopefully ours will hold up. I got this one from Big Lots. Seemed pretty sturdy, but we will see. Hope you are doing great! Hugs. Nik

[@weloveeyecandy]

Nikki, this video was amazing. You always show me exactly what I need to purchase. My daughter is going away to college this year so this video was helpful. I can't wait to see all the other video's that you put together. I thought about you when I went into the new Tuesday Morning on Rivers Ave. Have you made it in there yet? Again. Thanks for all the the good ideas. I wish you were able to come along and help me shop for my new house. Blessings, Candra

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

EYECANDY ARTISTRY Thank you so much Candra! So glad it could be helpful. OH YES MY FRIEND! I was there the other day and LOVE IT. It was so nice and organized (and stocked beautifully).

Wow! I've never been to college but if I had I would have wished to have you organise what I'd need. Organising for college should be a prerequisite to buying college needs. At the very least a book. I mean a Nikki College Basics to get the first steps right. We all know how to buy a lot of stuff but to have what is needed and organised is a must. It takes away the excuses and clutter brain that makes study more difficult. Can't wait to see it finished. Assuming there is a college list of what can and cannot be brought into a dorm: - How much time did it take to put it all together? - What were the additional items? - How much extra time would be devoted in the planning and gathering? - How much time would it save on moving in day (or how long did it take)? - Will you do a follow up with your cousin to see how it works and how it could be streamlined (I'd be surprised but ya never know.) Perhaps at regular intervals to see how it continues to assist with college life. - Do they know how lucky they are to have you do this for them? I imagine something similar could be done for someone moving out of home for the first time? Love your work. Narelle X

My mother use to drop-off the top roman bowls from Costco and White Tuna and Olives from Costco when I moved into my first studio in San Francisco :) all my paycheck went to rent so I had nothing for food. felt like I was back in college.

[@mpenny226]

This would be great for someone moving out the house for the first time too. Great ideas Nikki. I would have loved to have the Dollar Tree when I moved out on my own the first time. (and when I went to College)

[@AtHomeWithNikki]
