Jewell is a very lucky young lady to have your help. The items you've selected are beautiful! When she looks around, she will be reminded of the love and care that you've put into this project ...making everything so cozy and comfortable for her and this new phase of her life.

[@bettyloudockens3199]

Her roommates are going to be envious. Everything is beautiful.

[@Lulaila7]

This is amazing! Her transition into college life will be seamless and stylish!!

[@theflossi56]

Jewell is so lucky to have your help. Great job as always Nikki

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

Debbie Bell Thank you so much Debbie! So glad you liked. I am so happy I can do this for her. Hope all is great your way. Hugs. Nik

[@dublin1948]

What a thoughtful, wonderful auntie you are! I can hardly wait to see the finished dorm room. Your niece will be the envy of all the students!!

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

Kate Heptonstall Thank you so much! I am so excited to complete the space and share it with you! I hope you had a great day! Hugs. Nik

[@susanvelez6534]

First of all what a great Auntie you are. You have really put so much work into this it's beautiful. I remember when I took my son to college it was crazy and I too worked for months getting ready. It's amazing the companies that reach out to you! Great job Auntie!!!!!!

[@wolffalm]

Wow, it's so nice of you to put all those things together for your cousin. I'm so excited for the finished room. Everything looks so beautiful.

[@MrsPut2gether]

I can't wait for the reveal video. You don't ever have to apologize for lengthy videos, I love them!

[@lovehope3753]

I really like the way your subbies are supporting you and giving feedback on the items that work for them and offering suggestions. The comment on the mesh shower caddy was a good one, because she brought out a great point that only a user of the product can make, and also the idea about the which type of hamper would be beneficial was good too.

[@taishea]

You are absolutely the best Auntie in the world! I hope Jewels appreciates you!

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

taishea Thank you so much Taishea! She is such a great young lady. I love being able to do this for you. I hope you had a beautiful day my friend. Hugs Nik

[@karahfrancois5460]

I have never been so excited to another person's room before!!!

[@kikidoll7101]

Can't wait to see the final reveal. Appreciate all of the tips. A lot of them can be incorporated into a first time condo or small space.

[@KimberlyDavisABlessedHome]

I don't have anyone going off to college, but I can implement some of these ideas in my home. I can't wait to see "The Reveal!" Thanks for sharing/Be Blessed!

[@mariaayala3401]

I live in a small apt and I love dorm room videos because of all the great storage ideas for small areas

[@KimberlyDavisABlessedHome]

Same here...these ideas can also be used in a small home or apartment. "Do" what works for you!!! ---Be Blessed

[@anitatate9852]

Love the color combinations! I don't think she'll lack one thing when you get through. Great job, Nikki!!!!

[@charleegirlaktorge6029]

This is amazing!!! My college dorm looked so sterile and didn't feel very homey. I'm glad your daughter will have a beautiful room. It makes such a difference!!!

[@withl0vebryanna]

I have that same wallpaper on one of my walls in my bedroom. I got the same design at brand at target for about $30. I also had the same curtains but in black. I ended up returning them and going with some all white curtains with a little damask design on them. Love the different colors one the room! The finished product looks great!

[@HouseOfAqua]

The best tip is using command hooks and a rod for hanging curtains. I have a couple of bare windows because I simply don't want to deal with hardware and curtain rods again but I think I want to try this trick out. I love the color combination of this space and look forward to seeing the room later in the month.

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

HouseOfAqua I know right! I loved that tip when I saw it on pinterest! Can't wait to hear how it works out for you also. I am excited to share the finished space with you. Hope you had a great day! Hugs. Nik

[@Rockilyyy]

If you have any spray paint, you can coat the hooks in a color of your choice for a more hard-ware look.

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

Rockilyyy GREAT TIP!! LOVE IT! Thanks so much for sharing that!

[@sheriharris7635]

They have Command hooks that look like hardware already and there are hooks in different colors which go well in kids rooms.

[@rosemarywilliams9969]

Kelly - House of Aqua use very light certain and super thin rod. i use heavy duty hooks and it fell after a week.

[@sethrintatu]

What a lucky girl! She's going to have the raddest pad in the dorm. Great ideas for my home too, thank you. x

[@theoriginalanimeker]

I wish my mom would do this for me.

[@juanettethompson7801]

[@LigiaStAnn-kr6wr]

Nikki I've watched all of your videos including the dorm haul/room decor, I will definitely use your tips for college thank you so much for sharing I was basically scavenging for a system to help unpack all in one day so that I wouldn't have to worry about what I didn't do or forgot to do, and you really gave me an answer, you are my savior, thank you so much

[@patriciaoji3255]

Nikki this is so awesome! I am many many years out of college and many many years away from sending my own children to college but I so enjoy this! I'll take a number of these tips and hints and techniques to use around my home. Nikki what you have is truly a gift from God and thank you for sharing it with us 😌hugs

[@freshnewday]

WOW, I am completely overwhelmed by the excellence of your project. This series has just been amazing. I feel we are getting to see some of your thought process for really putting a home together from scratch. Thanks so much. I am also so impressed with how you have been able to find colors that match so nicely. I currently have touches of radiant orchid in my living room and kitchen, and it is so hard to find the color, and if I find something close, it often doesn't match or go well. Everything is so beautiful, Nikki. I'm in awe.

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

freshnewday Thank you so much! You know this is so much fun for me! I love the hunt of finding everything to put the room together. I am so happy to be able to share this journey with you. That sounds beautiful for your living room and kitchen! I would tell you look online also, but sometimes the color is off in pictures. I wish you so much success with your project. It will come together. One day you will walk in a store in find so many great finds! Hugs. Nik

[@Zenzele50]

AtHomeWithNikki You are just a bundle of joy to watch!! Thank God for all the extra items that were given to you for your dorm room. I love this because I am living with some friends in their apartment basement until I can get on my feet and the items that you are showing are things that I might be able to use in the future. Thank you so much and blessings to your cousins future in school.

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

Grammi Z Awwww! Thank you so much! That makes me so happy and keeps me inspired know you are enjoying watching my videos. It was such a blessing to be able to get these things for my cousin. She is such a great young lady. Wishing you many blessings my friend. Hugs. Nik

[@sherrymaya]

I love your videos. I have no one going to college yet. I still find all your videos helpful. Great ideas for RV'S or a vacation home. Not just dorm rooms.

[@hollyanne3305]

I have been loving the Dorm Room series. I have recently moved out for the first time and have limited space too. Great tips and LOVE the colours you chose Nicki!

[@lakwandre]

Nikki, another great video. I don't have any children in college but I work with a lot of college students. These are great tips that I can share with them.

[@cellaraine2]

Love this so much. This series is helping us get my niece ready for school.

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

Cella Raine Thanks Cella! I am so happy you are enjoying this series. I just love taking you on this journey with me. Hope you had a great day. Hugs. Nik

[@creatingthelifeilove1267]

What a great resource to have. You have combined efficiency and design to a plain dorm room. You are doing an absolutely fabulous job. My daughter will be leaving home next year to finish her last two years of college. I am now excited and inspired to help her decorate her dorm room or apartment. I can't wait to see the finished room.

[@jysikahill5803]

I've been blessed to come across your KZbin video!!! I'm about to start my first semester of college in a few weeks and I've been looking for new ideas and places to shop for my room and bathrooms. Your cousin is very lucky. :)

[@purpleryoko]

I love your bin storage idea. My cousin is a high school senior and I'm looking forward to incorporating some of these ideas next year.

[@carliewash7282]

Jewel is one blessed young lady. Nikki u are more than awesome. I am so addicted to ALL of your videos. I enjoy every one of them.

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

Carleaisher washington Awwww! Thank you so very much Carleaisher! That makes me so happy to share with you and to know you are enjoying it...LOVE! I appreciate you! Hope you had a fabulous Saturday. Hugs. Nik

[@kimseay7135]

Nikki, I love how you are so fabulous on a budget. JEWEL will have the best dorm room in her school. Looking forward to the reveal. Thanks for sharing.

[@designanddoctor]

Hi Nikki, I love all your videos. They are so motivating and satisfying to watch. Please do more dorm room series.

[@KICOKA82321]

I am so happy I came across your channel! I am a senior in college & I just moved into my 1st apartment. You have really inspired me w/ some new décor ideas. P.S YESSSSS pillows for days I love it

[@lerhondajones-bates3324]

It was Gr8 watching...what a blessed young lady to have u as a family member

[@prunersp5528]

Another amazing video of yours. My husband and I are moving into our new home in a few weeks and I have been watching lots of your videos getting ideas and tips. Cant wait to see the reveal. And thank you for making these videos.

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

prunersp Thank you so much! So happy to hear my videos are helpful to you for your new home! I hope you have a successful move my friend. Hugs. Nik

[@maureencairney9549]

She is going to be the most organised girl at college and the most envied. Great job Auntie..

[@vanillasushi111]

Hi! Our college dorms/apartment don't allow us sticking/taping/hanging on the wall, and if I try decorating the room, I end up making it so full and inconvenient, I tend to consume space so much. Do you have any tips or tutorials where I could enjoy a decorated but practical small place? And i f you have tips for college student essentials? Thank you!

[@create557]

Hello Nikki, here I am enjoying your wonderful video and wishing they had those crystal balls and the dispenser back in my days ( the 70's lol). Thank you so much for sharing these great ideas. Diana

[@markswinnie1173]

this making me so excited for my move in day at GSU!

[@Ndiscreet76]

OMG! I need for Jewel to get to her dorm!!! LOL I can't wait to see the reveal!!! Everything is looking so great! Love the tips!!!

[@EliSaVaughn18]

I will be going to college this upcoming fall semester and I needed some good tips and Organization tools to organize as much as possible for my dorm. And I am very organized and I love the way you explain which each item is and how they work, where you could put them at. Also listing links and telling your viewers were you found each item and the price helps me average out ny budget and how I can find something nice but inexpensive. Thank you so very much for the tips in this video I really appreciate it.

[@annaneely7666]

Wow this is so cool! As soon as I heard you say charleston, summerville, or mt. Pleasant, my ears perked up! I attend converse college in Spartanburg, and am from charleston!

[@TeriGigi]

I've been enjoying this series so much. A lot of these tips can be used anywhere, not just a dorm. Thanks for the tips :)

[@KimBFearless15]

Hi Nikki, new subscriber here! I love your channel and your home. I have a high school senior this year so all of the videos in this dorm series have been very helpful. I shared this one with some other moms as well. I just discovered the At Home store today in a city an hour away. I wish it was closer!!

[@alfordg9738]

Once again, I LOVE IT 😍! You are the best Nikki. I can not wait to see the final video. She is so very blessed. Have a wonderful weekend, Your SC neighbor

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

Luv2shop3 Thank you so much neighbor!! So so happy you enjoyed. This is such a fun process of putting her dorm room together and I am just loving that I can share it with you. Hope all is great your way! Have a blessed rest of your weekend my friend. Hugs. Nik

[@athenaannette]

You're doing an amazing job :D The motion sensor soap dispenser is an especially good idea and investment. Great thinking! Don't forget about the hamper, though! If they have a washer/dryer in their dorm, then any hamper will do but if she has to use a laundry room that all the dorms share, then the plastic kind with wheels and a handle would be best. Plus, if she goes home on the weekends for mom to wash her clothes (lol) then it'll be easier to roll out her laundry instead of dragging a heavy laundry bag or mesh pop up hamper.

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

UhTheeNuh89 Thanks so much for that wonderful tip. That does make sense! I saw a cute one the other day (plastic laundry bin). You are so awesome!!!!! Thanks friend! Hugs. Nik

[@lauriemcmillan2643]

Wow that dorm room is going to be more luxe than my bedroom. I use a mesh shower tote to organize my larger purses. Loving the videos and looking forward to seeing it all put together.

[@ansbach74]

Great tips/items that I can even use in my home. I really do like the soap dispenser, especially how sleek it looks. Thanks for sharing.

[@BoredorBananas]

I cannot wait for this reveal, Nikki! I am just loving the color palette that you have chosen. It is so fresh and fun! I remember when I was in college I always did my primping in my room because the bathroom was always full. Having a place to do that may be helpful. Also, extension cords. There is not near enough outlets in the rooms. :) TFS!

[@valerieheyn1663]

I love those labels on the big bins really make them look great!

[@petranilla14]

Ohhh I CANNOT wait to see the reveal!! It will be decadently scrumptious!!!!!!!!!

[@kellydeeley1578]

This is fantastic. I can't wait for the final reveal. I have loved watching this mini series. Maybe this series could be adapted in some way for people on a real tight budget that need tips and ideas for a room make over (a baby's room or a family friendly bathroom) God Bless You xxx

[@ACozyCasita]

Hi Nikki! Thank you so much for these wonderful tips. I will be using a lot of these for my daughter, as she will going back for her sophomore year. I cannot wait to see your reveal! Hope you are having a great evening. TFS, Liza :)

[@mrffeb]

I absolutely love your video!!! This is truly perfection. Please keep doing this organizing and decor videos

[@ingerwilliams8659]

You sound so excited! What a great room can’t wait for the reveal

[@GracefulJules]

These great tips I wish I found your channel earlier!! I hope you have more videos again before I leave community college with an associates degree!! I really love your videos!!! Thank you so much Ms. Nikki :)

[@MsSassyMT]

I am loving this series. Last year I purchased my daughter an underbed locking trunk to store items securely which has worked out great. That bag sounds interesting though so I may check into that as well. Ohhhh, dorm wallpaper, yes please. I can't wait to see the reveal video.

[@kkirby173]

Nikki, Im a JR in college and I used to have a mesh shower caddy. I think that you guys should return it only because its not very good at draining and it gets supper soggy. Plastic caddy's are much more durable and much easier to clean.

[@AtHomeWithNikki]

Kareese Kirby Thank you so much for sharing that! I just may just take it back and switch it out. So glad I shared that with you. I hope college life has been wonderful for you. Thanks again. Hugs..Nik

[@inspired984]

This is wonderful. There are so many more decor options than when I went to college 13 years ago. I can't wait to see the reveal! Plus I got to some ideas for myself for now :)

[@MsDivano]

Wow, this is so well done! I'm excited for the reveal. I was in college years ago but you've done a great job building my anticipation for Jewel's room. Great tips in here, too!!

[@shontell3478]

Can't wait to go to college next year class of 2016 😍😍 this dorm room is perfect!

She starts Pre-K Monday but you better believe I'm taking notes for when the day comes for her to go to college:-) I hope my niece chooses Georgia State as well as that's my alma mater:-). I have to commend you on all the systems and products you used. I use the bin-it system in my home for just about everything. Has made moving and transporting items from room to room so much easier. Thanks for sharing your tips and ideas. I can't wait for the reveal!!

[@vm24seven365]

Love, love, love the temporary wall covering...great idea for apartment rentals too! But if I had to choose...my FAV are the fuchsia curtains with the touch of bling...simply fabulous (and fun) :-) Thank you Nikki for all the great tips! Peace friend.

[@darlenechavez9398]

that is going to be a very pretty room love all the colors.

[@nphowe]

So many great tips and finds. I can't wait to see the room reveal! Please encourage Jewel to have a talk with her suite mates about locking the door to the suite when they go in and out, especially if the individual bedrooms don't have a key. Thankfully this never happened to me, but a friend of mine had money stolen from her room (the thief got in because the door to the suite was left unlocked). People often get comfortable in dorms once they've gotten acquainted with their roommates/suite mates, but even if you're leaving for just a few minutes, it's good to lock the door behind you. Many times it's not the roommate who's the problem, but an acquaintance of theirs or a neighbor down the hall. Also, move in and move out are when a lot of thefts tend to occur, so even lock the door behind you when going back and forth with boxes. I would hate for all of your hard work to be spoiled!

[@TheEvie202]
