Aug 2 BACK TO SCHOOL: Creating a Home Away From Home

featured product, More Than Mirrors, Back To School

Whether it is your first year, or you are a seasoned college student, going to school away from home can be both invigorating and a bit scary.

Those first steps into the new chapter of your budding adult life. Whether you are walking tentatively or fearlessly welcoming it, you are finding who you are as an individual. Finding your own personal style.

Classes are a lot of hard work, you need a place to go to to relax and unwind. Much like your room at home, a place that defines you. Bring the comforts of home with you to your new dorm room, but your way! Here are a few products that can transform your dorm into your home away from home.

Puff® Chairs

The Puff Chair® is the perfect chair to sit in and let your cares go. The luxurious cushion wraps around you so you can totally relax. Most people that sit in it, never want to get out of it!

Pouf Ottomans

Pouf Ottomans are a great alternative to typical seating. They are lightweight, yet sturdy, perfect for dragging around the room to where you need it, or to stack in the corner if you need the space. I often find myself choosing a pouf to plop down in over a chair.

Pillows

Pillows are the easiest way to add personality to a room. They can go in your favorite chair or piled up on your bed. Grab one to use when you are laying on the floor hanging out with your friends. Piled up or only a few can make the statement you want!

Headboards

You might not think to lug a headboard around with you off to college. But our Slipcovered Headboard makes it easy! The headboard folds into a manageable size for easy moving. Then there is the fact that it is slipcovered! Simply slip it off if it needs a cleaning, or if you want something new. Get a new cover and BOOM! Brand new bed!

Boxspring Covers

Lastly, frilly bedskirts are a thing of the past. AND are a pain to clean or change. You have to manage and maneuver the mattress to get it into place. Try our Boxspring Cover. This works kind of like a fitted sheet. Simply pull over the top mattress and fit it around the boxspring. No heavy lifting required! Remove the same way to clean or to switch out for a new one!
